Pantone’s 2026 Color of the Year is Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 11-4201)—a soft, natural white that represents serenity, clarity, and a much-needed return to simplicity. This airy shade is already showing up across fashion and interiors, where clean lines and natural textures are leading the way.

White nails have always been a classic, but Cloud Dancer makes them feel fresh again—like a polished, elevated evolution of the milk-bath nails that dominated earlier in the year. Its beauty is in its versatility: as a “structural color,” Cloud Dancer can adapt to any palette, harmonize with bold tones, or create striking contrast.

This makes it the perfect base for today’s most popular nail styles, including minimalist micro-art, modern French tips, and soft aura nails. Whether worn opaque and crisp or sheer and milky, this shade delivers a clean, intentional look that fits right into 2026’s calm, refined aesthetic.

Tones has been ahead of the curve with their release of Chubby Bunny in gel and acrylic—a dreamy, pure white that captures the same serene energy as Cloud Dancer.  Pair it with our other whites to bring this trend to life with a professional, high-end finish.
