I'm typing this with a variant of this manicure. I adore the easiness of an all-over chrome look, especially with this delicate light-pink nail paint, but I want to vary it up.
This elegant nail design only requires a metal decal or stud nail sticker. Nail strengthener and a sparkling top coat are all you need to leave your nails bare. To polish this look, use a sheer, neutral base.
This minimalist nail style has a lovely light-brown colour and tiny dots. I enjoy the random dots on each nail. To avoid smudges, let each dot dry before applying top coat.
This abstract design lets you appreciate all the colors without a complicated manicure. The color gradient makes it lively despite the blank space throughout. Try pastels, neons, primaries, and neutrals.
This nail style is detailed but minimalist? Keeping your two colours distinct (particularly if you choose a white or cream nail polish)? After painting, pull off a tiny bit of tape.
If you appreciate the dazzle of a glitter manicure but feel it could be too much, focus it at the base of your nails and leave the rest bare. Use a cosmetic wedge to dab glitter instead of painting it on.
As seen below, applying little adhesive pearl accents to your nails is the quickest way to join the "mermaidcore" trend. It makes a French manicure chic and trendy. This would be a stylish bridal nail look, too.
I love this Ikea-inspired aesthetic. It's minimalist and Scandinavian, but well-put-together. Instead of using nail polish, try these line nail decals.
Squiggles, my fave basic manicure trick. Change the colors, thicken the lines, or give it a retro feel with subdued yellows, oranges, and blues. Opportunities are unlimited.
