Because less is more when it comes to nails
Milky pinks, ultra glossy, barely there colour and chic but subtle nail art– meet the biggest nail trends for the season ahead. Whether you're giving yourself a DIY at-home manicure or you're visiting the salon, let these minimalist nail designs serve as inspiration. Here, we've gathered our fave designs that you'll want to steal, from micro-fine tips to tiny love hearts.
Nail art has been known to be big, bold and colourful. Lately, though, we've seen a real shift; nail designs today are much more classic and paired back. Think nudes and pinks with colourful tips and mini hearts, and twists on the French manicure.
Doing nail art yourself at home isn’t as difficult as it looks: make sure you pick a simple design to start off with. Top and base coats are also essential as this ensures you're protecting the nail and the design.

Can't go wrong with a simple, classic French mani. But why not try micro-fine tips?

Not feeling confident about achieving identical nail art on every finger? Paint each one with a different abstract design instead.

Can't pick one colour? Why not opt for several - this minimalist design is our current fave.
A sheer neutral base and a hint of peach and white, this neutral nail art proves that natural nails can be playful, too.

Find a shade that works for you and throw on a super-shiny topcoat for a look that will never go out of style.
