There is so much beauty in simplicity.
Going back to the basics can be classic, elegant, and not at all boringnail art included.
@betina_goldstein
Sometimes the nail designs that we loveand quite possibly needare the quietest pop in.
Think negative space, small dots,French tips, fresh colors, glitter accents, and more.
Abstract Shapes
@paintboxnails
This graphic look is a cinch to create.
@paintboxnails
Seal everything with a top coat et voila!
To replicate the look, use two colors that offer a stark contrast.
Using a black design makes it especially bold.

Sparse Sparkle
This chic placement of glitter polish couldn’t be easier to accomplish.
We love the gold paired with an unconventional pale blue.
The triangle peeking out from the side is an interesting twist.
@vanityprojects
Paint your nails with a chunky glitter polish like Smith & Cult’s Glass Souls.
Try a matching eyeshadow to create amonochromaticbeauty look from head to fingertips.
Try putting the line down the center of each nail for an especially fun look.
@paintboxnails
To DIY the look, use Butter London Glazen Peel-Off Glitter Lacquer in shades Gold Rush and Supernova.
Edgy Swoops
If you want something a little edgier, curve the line.
Celestial Magic
@oliveandjune
Enhance a basic black manicure with the addition of a simple star.
@paintboxnails
you might choose whether to leave it as an accent nail or embrace celestial vibes all over.
Overlapping Circles
This simple nail art is minimal in the most fun way.
Use a pair of nail stickers to make it super easy or try creating the circles freehand.

Rainbow Tips
@lolo.nailedit/ Instagram
Consider this one of many ways to reimagine a classic French manicure.
Yayoi-Approved
These simple dotted nails make us think about one of our favorite artists, Yayoi Kusama.
Dip a toothpick in black polish to bring this museum-worthy mani to life.
@paintboxnails
This nail art is super easy to recreate, too.
Cover your entire nail with top coat and be on your merry way.
The brown shade here is a modern way to approach a classic French tip while remaining just as demure.
@paintboxnails
The splatter designs against a clear background look ultra-cool, no uniformity required.
Confetti Dots
If the question is confetti nails, the answer is always yes.
Fashion Forward
@welovecoco
These simple Chanel nails check multiple boxes.
@paintboxnails
Start at the tip of your nail when crafting your stripes.
Sunset Shades
Some of the best simple nail designs are carefully curated palettes.
Triple Curve
Make your nails radiate for days with this twist on a French mani.
@oliveandjune
White Accent Dot
This design is oh-so-cool and easy to create.
It doesn’t have to look perfect, so get creative.
Say It Loud
Express yourself a bit more literally by putting a few words on your nails.
@vanityprojects
These dainty hearts may be small, but they send the message all the same.
Chrome Tips
@lolo.nailedit
Metallics are always in.
And we love the contrast of a glitter chrome tip against a light pink base color.
@lolo.nailedit/ Instagram
94 Graphite Grey nail polish to achieve a metallic tip.
Grids
@paintbucketnails
We love a good patterned design, especially when it’s easy to replicate.
This grid design couldn’t be more simple thanks to nail stickers.

Plus, this design works with any colors if you want to change with the seasons.
Foiled Criss-Cross
There are no rules to this foiled criss-cross design.
@paintboxnails
Don’t have a steady hand?
you could find nail stickers to get the job done.
We love Olive & June’s varied assortment of stickers.
@oliveandjune
Here, the artist uses different shades of a similar neutral color for a more gradual effect.
For a little extra shine, add a single stripe across the lower half of each nail.
