Your nails are a fun way to add personality to your look this summer but if you aren't the biggest fan of bright neon colours or intricate designs then you can try some more minimalist options. Minimalist nails are simple, but that doesn't mean they have to be dull, so we give you seven nail looks perfect for your inner minimalist.
1. MATTE AND GLOSSY MANI
A minimalist nail look doesn't mean a dull nail look. With this style, you can easily have a unique nail design with minimal effort and a complimentary range of choices regarding colour combinations. This design can easily be done at home. First, paint your whole nail in a matte colour of your choice and then paint the tips in a complimenting colour with a shiny top coat or you can even just paint the tips with a shiny top coat to add a range of texture. This look is minimalist, classy yet unique in its own way.
2. ABSTRACT TIPS
French tips are classic but sometimes we don't always want to settle for classic white; instead, you can change the white tips for different colours and shapes. You can very easily paint your tips in two different colours and paint the strokes in two different lengths to add an abstract look to this classic style.
3. GEOMETRIC NAILS
Another simple way to add a bit of pizazz to your look is by creating a very simple geometric design. For this nail look, you can paint your nails in a base colour of choice and then just create different shapes, such as circles and squares on top in a different colour. This look is simple and fun without being too over the top.
4. SWIRLS OF COLOURS
Who doesn't love colour? Minimalist or not, with this design, you can easily add colour to your look either just at the tips or on all your nails as per your choice.
5. MINIMAL NEGATIVE SPACE
A great way to get a simple pattern on your nails is by leaving out negative space. You can easily create different shapes on your nails and instead of adding a second colour you can leave out some of your bare nails to create a pattern. These nails are easy, simple, and perfect for this summer.
6. ABSTRACT LINES
Another great way to create a simple pattern for your nails is by painting them in a base colour of choice and then making swirly lines in a different colour to create a fun yet simple pattern. This design is easy to do and can be done in any colour combo.
7. DOTS FOR THE WIN
If you are not really the biggest fan of patterns but don't really want plain nails, then you can add a bit of pizazz by adding a few dots on top of your regular nail colour. You can add the dots just at the ends or create a complete polka dot pattern, you can even use two colours to create small flowers made out of dots for a perfect summer nail look.
