They say less is more and at times, when it comes to your nails - we couldn't agree more! So, a major part of your minimal clan is geometric nail art. This a truly simple nail art design that is a master at bagging compliments. So, if you're planning to hop onto the playful nail designs bandwagon, get the scoop on how to create this.
Step 01: Start with a base coat - this layer will not only protect your nails from the colours but will also enhance the design by creating an even tone.
Step 02: Once done, you can apply white or even a nude nail colour; the Lakmé 9 to 5 Primer + Gloss Nail Color in 'Nude Flush' for your background would be perfect. Thanks to the inbuilt primer, it doesn't chip or flake making it the perfect base shade.
Step 03: You can use a thin nail art brush or even a toothpick to draw tiny shapes by dipping them in any shade you like. The shapes can be at random or in a particular pattern, the choice is yours, making it an easy version of the usual bold nail designs.
Step 04: As usual, to seal the deal, once the coat dries, apply a transparent base coat for a longer-lasting and glossy finish.
And just like, you've aced a stylish and simple nail art design. Good for you!

If you are looking to get your nails all pretty, just add some shine! Yep, that's just it. Get an Insta-worthy finish by simply painting on your nails with some glitter nail art. To jazz it up, you can add multiple colours to create the ombre nail designs which never go out of style.
Step 01: After applying a base coat, it's time for the fun part. If you tend to somehow end up with crusty nail paint then get your hands on the Lakmé Glitterati Collection Shine Nail Color in shades 'Silver Dust' and 'Berry Blush' - versatile shades that always tend to go with all outfits and occasions.
Step 02: Apply the pink shade all over your nails. And if you just want the classic one-shade look, this is it! You're good to go. But if you want the ombre effect, bring out a sponge...
Step 03: Cut the sponge into a square shape, roughly around the size of your nails. Take the silver shade and paint the top half of the sponge. Once you're sure your nails are dry, press the sponge over one of your nails. Dab it side to side to make sure the tip is completely covered.
Step 04: Repaint the sponge if the nail paint has dried and repeat with the rest of your nails.
Really folks, it's that easy to get shiny nail designs!
