Delicate and feminine nail art designs with minimal graphics simply never go out of style. A simple way to make things a lot more interesting is to either show off a little negative space or create minimal motifs on a bright and pastel base. Either way, minimal graphic nails are a total winner.

 

03. Mellow colours

If you’re someone who likes clean and solid nail polish colours, you’re in luck. Solid colours like greys, browns, and mauves are going to be huge 2021. You can switch things up by opting for a glossy finish or a soft matte finish, the choice is yours.

 

04. Barely-there glitter

Glitter trend is once again expected to make a huge comeback in 2021. But instead of opting for full-blown, saturated glitter, it’s all about simple, barely-there glitter accents on the tip of your nails. So stunning!
