eye catching minimalist nail art designs

Black is classy enough that is why people prefer allblack outfits for all big events. That black is classy is once again proved via the nail artwork shown in this picture. The shiny coat of black on these nails certainly makes them look yummy like some darkly caramelized, chocolaty dish. But what makes it even more attractive is the thin gold band running all across the nails horizontally. The thin gold strip lends an aura to the black color, perhaps what can be best described as a sense of richness to the already rich dark hue. And they certainly blend well the gold band worn on the thumb in the picture.

Black is a timeless classic color, which is perhaps why the hue never seems to go out fashion in the celebrity circuit. In all big events, black is everpresent on clothes and accessories; many a times in combination with gold. Here is another example of the rich combination black and gold nail art. The twothirds black, onethird gold combination here certainly make the nails look like vintage pieces. They somehow make them seem very elegant and rich. And the black and gold ring on the ring finger in the picture only makes the nail art work a perfect package of beauty with variety.

Who said polka dotted clothes and accessories are for kids alone? Their yummy mummies can sport them too with aplomb, provided they get the color and the size right. Here is a perfect example of the polka dots adding some bling to the nails. The base coat color of the nails is not much to speak about it is a bold monochrome after all. But what makes the monochrome attractive is the metallic polka dots on it. Of just the right size, not too big to make it look like pimples, the polka dots here add the much needed shimmer and shine to the nails.

When it comes to nail art, one does not need to paint all the nails alike. This picture here shows you how you can paint one nail a bit different and yet make all the five nails seem like a perfectly harmonious nail job. The color combination used in this art work is a very light pink shade coupled with a metallic bronze one. But the nail on the middle finger is painted allbronze making it the feature nail of this work. This is how you can add variety to the nails without making the variations seem like a messedup job of trying to string some widely different things into a single theme.

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 imaginative mind would say that the combination looks like fall during the night! Add to that the thin copper bands on the fingers and the feeling of fall just gets enhanced.

When you carry out art works on your nails, you need not just play around with colors and patterns to bring out the beauty of perfectly shaped nails. 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 done using a tracing paper which when applied to the nails on the desired place and pulled away takes away the shimmer. The shine and nonshine combination makes even this monochrome look attractive.

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 nails have been left shiny, the rest has been turned a matte black. This makes the nail look attractive, even though the color is just a monochrome black.

The trend for minimalist nail art designs are growing by the day. There are many variations and the lady is free to make her choice from a large number of options available at her disposal. Now with the vast use of the internet, it has indeed become easier to choose. The French manicure can be easily softened with an Ombre tip. The shades are lighter towards the edges and more prominent at the base. This gives a good blend; simple, unique and a very noticeable design. The shades could be chosen to complement your natural skin tone or dress color.

A blend of two complementing colors is better than one. This is one of the golden rules in minimalist nail art. There is always a special feel to these colors reflected on a womans nails. The base is lighter here with a darker fringe that blends well with the body color. Some prefer to have the colors used in the art to match with their attire. This is usually done for special occasions. The Ombre style gives a royal feel to your nails and now you can pose for the cameras looking even better; your hands feeling even more beautiful.

If you are looking for a unique way to showcase your beautifully manicured finger nails, then try the subtle sponge option. The dominant color is almost complete with a thin distinctive layer at the edges giving a delicately spongy feel. This design also makes your nails looker fuller. It also makes them look longer than they actually are. Best for special occasions and for regular wear. Trendy attire that goes with your choice of colors will make the whole art work on fingernails even more elaborative and complete. Now you can be more confident of your formal or casual wear.
