Natural nail designs are the perfect choice when you want a look that's impactful yet airy. They let the beauty of your natural nails shine through while adding pops of color, texture, and pattern.
"The neutral nail designs that have been trending usually consist of complexion-matching or flattering shades like beige, white, greige, or brown—maybe with a touch of earthy shades thrown in like slate, clay, or moss," says expert Rita Remark. "But just because the colors are more subtle, doesn't mean that the designs have to be. That's what is so great about this trend! You can play with graphic shapes and negative space designs without the manicure feeling overwhelming."

Wonky Smiley
"I love the ombré of different nudes as the base colors,” says Fleury Rose. “We added smileys, but it would also be cute without them."
Earthy Tips
This stunning nail features a natural base with an earth, geometric brown, and cream tip. Because the tip has a straight-across bottom instead of a rounded shape, it adds a lot of interest to the look.
