Without a Doubt, These 17 Neutral Nail Designs Will Always Look Classy

I don’t know about you, but whenever I go to the nail salon, I always say I’m going to switch things up and go for a brightly coloured design, yet I always go back to neutral nails once I’m there. For me, you just can’t go wrong with these subtle shades. Not only are they universally flattering, but they go with every single outfit and work all year round.

Therefore, I decided to round up some of my favourite neutral nail designs that I believe will never go out of style. These timeless manicures and nail art ideas are perfect for all of the minimalists out there, and I’ll definitely be referring back to this article myself before my next appointment.

Even the experts agree that neutral nails are a great way to go. “A minimalist, chic and clean-looking manicure paired with a clear topcoat or sheer pink colour gives the appearance of well-maintained, healthy nails,” says Juanita Huber-Millet, founder and creative director at Townhouse. “A couple of my favourites include Bubble Bath by OPI and Lait Fraise by Nailberry.”

You don’t have to go to the salon to achieve these looks, either. If you like to do your nails at home, Huber-Millet recommends investing in a good nail polish and a nail art pen to help recreate more intricate designs. Once your nail art is dry, finish things off with a top coat to give a glossy and long-lasting finish.

Now that you’ve got the information you need, keep on scrolling for some serious nail inspo…
