For 2026, Pantone introduced Cloud Dancer, a soft white-neutral shade that’s already setting the tone for upcoming nail trends. What may look simple at first glance is actually the perfect base for modern, luxury nail styling.

It works beautifully for ombré, baby boomer, bridal nails, editorial looks and advanced nail art.

With Magnetic’s range of soft whites and milky gels, it’s easy to recreate the Cloud Dancer trend in the salon or at home. This shade fits perfectly into the 2026 forecast: less glitter, more glow, elevated neutrals, and nails that look effortlessly polished.

Cloud Dancer proves that sometimes the quietest colour creates the strongest impact - a flawless canvas for creativity and one of the most in-demand manicures for the year ahead.
