eye catching minimalist nail art designs

A single dot is eye catching but not over the top
1. Nail art has developed to a great extent off late and has become a fancy art form with people taking great pains to include as many details of artwork as possible into tiny nails. The nail art shown in the image is pretty simple though. It contains only one small silver dot against a deep navy blue background. Even so the dots placed in a single line on every nail become too monotonous. There could have been some variations in the placement of th .....
So is a single stripe
2. Nail art is a big thing today with people learning how to beautify nails with paint and customers waiting patiently for great periods of time to get their nails painted in quirky ways. While there is no dearth of the ways in which you can paint your nails, the picture here presents to you one sample. The nail art done here is squarelike white stripes on nails painted a nice maroon. While this is a nice work, it does become a bit too monotonous on .....
Subtlety Can Also Rock
3. Subtlety need not always tone things down; it can rock them too, as the nail art shown in this image proves. The base coat color of this nail work is a subtle nude one that almost would have gone unnoticed had it not been for the perfect black stripes running from across the top till almost the base of the nail on every finger. Those black, thin stripes set against a subtle nude background certainly stand out and add very much to the charm of tho .....
A bit on the tribal side
4. Tiny dots, be they of the earthy tones or light colored ones set against an earthyhued background are so typical of a tribal artwork. And when a design of such a theme is transferred to the nails, it produces a nail art that beckons several .....
Half Pink
5. Nowadays nail art does not mean covering the entire nails with paint and then some flourishes. There is beauty also in leaving one part of the nail sans paint it just brings out the lovely shades of the natural, pinky nails. This picture here is a perfect example of how you can paint just half the nail and yet make it look so beautiful. The pink nail paint used in this nail art sets off very elegantly against the nude pink hue of the natural nail .....
Rock it with Triangles
6. This image of the nail art here is a perfect example of contrasts in colors. First, there is the lighterthansky blue base coat applied to all the nails. This alone would have made the nails look pretty subtle. But the dual colored triangles on the nails add strongly to the entire show of the nail work. The beauty with the two colors chosen for the triangle, a dark blue and pure white is that they are the darker and lighter versions on the base na .....
Grey is Good
7. Who said that grey is a dull and boring color? This image here just disproves that. The thick grey colored coat of paint on the nails looks very nice on those perfectly shaped nails. But what adds to the loveliness of the nails is the crescent moon shaped white bases. It is that which starkly stands out against the grey paint and makes it even more beautiful. Another flourish in this image is the simple gold band on middle finger. Against a matte .....
Pop of neon
8. Grey is a boring color a statement many would probably agree with. But the grey coat of paint on the nails in this image looks pretty nice, even though the color might be regarded as dull. Perhaps what makes it look good is the shimmery shine the coat of paint offers the nail. That apart, the biggest plus point in the nail art work here is the thin neon hued tips. It is this that makes the nails seem brighter than they really are. Just those litt .....
Another Case of a Pop of Neon
9. Here is another example of what a pop of neon could to the final look of your nails. The color applied here too is a dull grey, no doubt with a certain shine that somewhat enhances the loveliness of the nail color. But with the pop of neon designed in a triangular shape across the nails, the grey color on the nails suddenly become eyecatchy. The amount of neon on the nails is just a bit, but even so, this little amount is enough to transform the .....

This combination in the nails in the picture here makes them look quite classy, even though the design is simple enough.

Black with Metallic Hues
15. Somehow, black seems to gel perfectly with all metallic hues. The black and gold combination, for example, is a timetested one, one that will probably never go out of fashion. Even copper along with black does well, as shown by the nail art work in the image here. The copper leaves on the middle and ring fingers look perfectly right against a black backdrop. In fact, the dark background only brings out the richness of the copper color. An imagina .....
Playing it with Textures

You can even dabble with the textures of the nail paint to enhance their loveliness. This picture here is one such example. The color of the nails in this case is a deep maroon. But what adds variation is the way one half is left shiny, while the other half has had its sheen taken out. This has been .....
Just the tip
17. There are different ways in which you can play with the textures of the nail paints. You can take the shine away off one entire half of the nail paint and add to its beauty by cutting across diagonally. Another way is to just leave the tips of the nails shiny or maybe even the other way around. The picture here is an example of how you can create variations in the nails by playing with textures, that too only on the tips. Just the tips of the nai .....
