"Harriet Westmoreland is the original "clean girl", or at least the aesthetic's architect. The manicurist's Instagram account is a tableau of syrupy nudes and lo-fi, magnified nail shots, with each fingertip coated in gossamer-thin veils of varnish. Her style is the archetypal example of "quiet luxury" - her videos show perfect nails dipped in soapy bubbles or dripping with La Mer's The Renewal Oil, and her clients include brands like Hermès and Chanel, or celebrities like Zendaya."
""My Glass Gels give a sleek, glossy finish that feels fresh, juicy, and modern," Westmoreland explains. Like Korean glass gels, Westmoreland's formulas offer a high-shine finish, but a carefully curated colour palette sets them apart. "We never use white pigment," she explains, "which means there's no ashy cast, no chalkiness, and no dull texture." The collection, which is called Vanilla Gloss, features five translucent nudes to suit all skin tones,"
Harriet Westmoreland originated the clean girl nail aesthetic and cultivated an Instagram of glossy, sheer, short nails that exemplify quiet luxury. She learned manicures through a weekly ritual with her granny, favoring a soft milky white. Her account grew to hundreds of thousands of followers and inspired many imitative “girl” aesthetics, yet her precise, minimal style endured. She emphasizes meticulous prep because sheer polishes reveal imperfections. She launched Westmoreland Cosmetics offering Glass Gels and Glass Polishes with Korean-inspired high-shine finishes and a curated palette that avoids white pigment; Vanilla Gloss includes five translucent nudes for all skin tones.
