12 Natural Nail Designs for the Manicure Minimalist

Have you ever wanted to book a manicure while also hoping to achieve a more neutral nail look? To some, this can seem counterproductive, given professional nail artists are experts at creating beautiful, bold nail art—why let that go to waste? Well, because you want natural nail art, of course. See, so often, manicures (especially those shared on Instagram) seem synonymous with vibrant, eye-catching nail art. However, if you look hard enough, you’ll find that there are some pretty stunning natural nail designs on the web, too—and no, they’re not just solid neutral swatches. We scrolled and scrolled and scrolled some more to deliver you 12 natural nail art designs. Check them out below.  

1. MILKY PINK NAILS

Betina Goldstein is the queen of minimalist nails, and this milky pink mani only further proves it. With ultra-subtle gold hardware at each cuticle, this is a natural nail art design at its finest. 

2. MATTE ABSTRACTS

Our nails aren’t naturally super shiny, so it will only add to your neutral nail art aesthetic if you want to opt for matte polish.

3. CREAMY SWIRLS

We’re suckers for swirls, regardless of the color palette. This neutral-colored one brings images of lattes to mind. 

4. PALE PINK TIPS

Opting for a neutral nail design doesn’t mean you can’t wear any color. Instead, it means to lean a bit more subtle in hue. Here, pale pink with hints of negative space and metallic gold offers a perfect business professional’s low-key nail art idea. 

5. FINE FRENCH TIPS

If you do enjoy a French tip, consider upgrading it with the finest white stripes possible. To perfect the look, either use a striping brush with a steady hand or section off slivers of your tips with striping tape before adding any polish. 

6. ACCENTRED FRENCH TIPS

Another neutral nail design idea is to round out your classic French mani and then double it. On oval-shaped nails, this nail art looks especially elegant. 

7. WHITE NEGATIVE SPACE NAIL ART
 

Of course, if you prefer to be more playful, you can use white polish to create an array of Y2K-inspired designs. 

8. NEUTRAL TIE-DYE NAILS

If you love the idea of bolder nail art but want to keep a neutral palette, you’ll love this peachy tie-dye idea. 

9. NEUTRAL SHIMMER NAIL

Love the look of neutral rainbow nails but prefer a bit more shine? Check out this metallic rendition. 

10. CREAMY NEGATIVE SPACE SWIRLS

For a creamy neutral nail look, consider this milky swirl idea. It’s giving us delicious marshmallow vibes. 

11. INVERTED NEGATIVE SPACE

Who knew finely-lined inverted arches could make such an impact on a neutral nail look. 

12. MILKY ABSTRACT NAILS

Love the idea of inversions but want a few more abstract accents? Your wish is our command.
