Graphic nails are how you can sport minimalism without being boring.

The nail art for these styles can be uniform across all fingers (top row), or entirely different on each nail (bottom row).

Alternatively, the design can also vary across left and right hands. 

It’s how you can sport minimalism, without being boring. The key features: geometric designs formed with shapes, lines and negative space, in black and white, and on a translucent, nude base (or your natural nail colour). It suits any nail shape, square or oval. And it doesn’t matter if the nail art is different on every finger – the graphic aspect will tie it all together.

The key to these designs is precision, says Audrey Wee, co-founder of nail salon I Love Nails, and who did the designs here. Opt for gel polish so any mistakes can be easily corrected. Save this page for your next #nailartinspo. - CT

The graphic look is subtle, not showy, so keep your nails neatly trimmed to 1mm in length.
