We've seen nail trends come and go, but nude nails will never go out of style. Don't get us wrong, we love decking our nails out in colorful patterns, but there's nothing more chic and timeless than classic nude nails with designs.
Nude nail art is incredibly versatile. Think: floral designs, french tips, nude nails with glitter, nude nails with rhinestones, and even ombré. This isn't a trend that requires long nails, either. Short nude nails come in a variety of prints, patterns, and styles. The designs truly favor all nail shapes and lengths. The possibilities are endless when it comes to sprucing up minimalist nude nails — any design you can think of can be achieved on neutral-toned nails.
It doesn't matter if you're wearing a lavish gown or a plain T-shirt with jeans, nude nails are guaranteed to pair wonderfully with any outfit you have on. And whether you have a big event coming up and want to splurge on short nude acrylic nails or just need a new mani idea to start the month fresh, nude nail art is perfect for any occasion, all year round.
Ahead, we put together a list of the best nude nails with designs. Look through for inspiration and get ready to bookmark your favorites to show to your nail tech.
