🎨 How to Design Minimalist Nails

1. Neutral Base + Single Accent

Base: Soft beige, milky white, or sheer pink

Accent: One nail with a thin line, tiny dot, or micro French tip in black or metallic

2. Negative Space Designs

Leave part of the nail bare (half-moons, diagonal cuts)

Outline with a fine brush for a modern edge

3. Micro French Manicure

Ultra-thin tips (1mm or less) in white, gray, or pastel

Twist: Try tips on just the ring finger for subtle asymmetry

4. Minimalist Art

Single stroke (a tiny curved line)

Micro hearts/stars (barely-there cuteness)

Floating chrome (a small metallic square near the cuticle)

5. Matte & Sheer Combos

Matte nude base + one glossy nail

Sheer wash of color (like "your nails but better")
