Daniella Monet Embraces Natural Nails After Eight-Month Break From Manicures

Former Nickelodeon actress Daniella Monet has shared a personal beauty update with her followers, revealing that she’s finally grown accustomed to seeing her natural nails after taking an extended break from professional manicure services.

In her recent Instagram post, Monet wrote: “8 months since I stopped getting mani/pedi’s and I’m finally used to seeing my own natural nails again :)” The image accompanying the post shows Monet’s hand displaying her natural, unpolished nails.

The Journey To Natural Nails

For many who regularly get professional nail treatments, the transition back to natural nails can be an adjustment period. Monet’s candid admission about taking eight months to get comfortable with her natural nail appearance resonates with many who have become accustomed to seeing their nails regularly polished, extended, or professionally maintained.

The actress didn’t elaborate on her reasons for taking a break from manicures and pedicures, but many celebrities and influencers have recently been embracing more natural beauty approaches, citing reasons ranging from health concerns to simply wanting a break from maintenance routines.

Balancing Motherhood And Self-care

Monet, who has been busy balancing her career with family life, has been open about her journey as a mother. Her recent Instagram activity shows her enjoying family time, including a trip to Cabo with her partner and sharing moments with her children.

In a post from earlier this year, she shared a heartwarming update about her husband Andrew Gardner becoming a co-author of a children’s book titled “Love, Dad.” She wrote, “It’s official, Andrew is a co-author of a children’s book, and I couldn’t be more proud.” The book features heartfelt messages from a group of fathers, showcasing the couple’s dedication to family values and parenting.

Monet’s Approach To Wellness And Simplicity

The decision to forego professional nail treatments aligns with Monet’s apparent interest in simpler living and wellness. In another recent post, she discussed the concept of being “rich” in non-monetary ways, asking her followers: “What is being ‘rich’ to you (obviously not in a monetary way)… Is it about slow mornings with people you love? Taking care of your body—not in a pressure-filled way, but in a ‘thank you for carrying me’ kind of way?”

She mentioned creating “Daniella’s Digest” to help her followers “build better habits, feel more energized, and actually enjoy the process,” suggesting her interest in wellness extends beyond just personal choices to sharing guidance with her community.

From Nickelodeon Star To Lifestyle Advocate

Monet is best known for her role as Trina Vega on Nickelodeon’s “Victorious” alongside Ariana Grande and Victoria Justice. Since her time on the popular teen series, she has expanded her career to include entrepreneurship and advocacy work.

Monet has been a vegan since she was a teenager and has been involved in various animal rights initiatives. Her current content often blends family moments, lifestyle choices, and wellness tips, showing her evolution from teen actress to mindful parent and lifestyle advocate.

The star has recently been documenting family vacations, including a trip to Kissimmee, Florida, where she shared experiences like kayaking and spotting alligators with her children. She captioned one post, “I told the kids we may see an alligator, and low and behold… 🐊” showing her focus on creating memorable experiences for her family.

Embracing Authenticity

Monet’s nail revelation, while seemingly simple, represents the broader trend of celebrities sharing more authentic glimpses into their lives. By documenting her journey back to natural nails, she joins the growing movement of public figures who are peeling back the layers of perfection often associated with celebrity appearances.

For followers who might feel pressure to maintain certain beauty standards, Monet’s post offers a refreshing reminder that even those in the public eye sometimes step away from beauty routines and embrace their natural features.

As the actress continues to share her life with her Instagram audience, her blend of family updates, wellness advice, and candid revelations like her natural nail journey provides a more relatable view of celebrity life that resonates with many of her followers.
