Simple Nail Designs

About simple nail designs

Simple nail designs are the ones you can wear every day, to any place, without thinking about them. Most use a single color or a sheer neutral, sometimes with one small detail such as a thin line, a dot or an accent nail. They suit short and long nails alike, grow out neatly and are the easiest to recreate at home with regular polish. Start here if you want nails that look clean and finished rather than decorated.

This collection currently holds 66 simple designs: the most common shapes are square and almond, most are short and medium in length, the usual finishes are glossy and matte, the leading colors are nude and brown.
