This Might Be the Easiest Nail Trend Yet

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Davidson chapter.

If you’re anything like me, keeping your nails all pretty and painted nicely is so hard. Maybe it’s my unsteady hands or the fact that I’m always too lazy to let them dry completely, but I can never seem to get that perfectly executed manicure that screams, “Hey look! I have my life together”! So happy was I then, when I stumbled across this promising nail trend on Pinterest!

Minimalist nails, or negative space nails, as they’re sometimes called, adheres to the “less-is-more” attitude. Anything is fair game, so let your inner minimalist out! 

You could go with stripes: 

This adorably cute eyelash design:

Or dots. Just dots. (This is my favorite style to wear.):

How about just the bottom? 

Or go wild with geometric shapes:

The possibilities are endless! But do you know what the best part is? NO CHIPPED NAILS. So go, break out your Essie and OPI and have a heck of a good time.
