Upside Down Frenchie? A Minimalistic Manicure Trend Has Taken The ‘Gram By Storm!

The new nail trend that’s the talk of the town right now is outline nail art. The beauty of this trend lies in its minimalistic and aesthetic design. The trend involves you or a nail technician precisely outlining the edge of the nail in a bright or contrasting hue and leaving the rest of the nail bare or neutral. Since this nail trend requires a lot of skill and steady hands, you might require a thin brush to do it. Also, please keep in mind that nails are prone to chipping and growing out after a couple of days, thus it’s safe to say that this can be categorised as a high maintenance manicure. However, if you love art and all things delicate, this nail trend is worth giving a shot in 2020. 

Colour Me Pastel

Pastel colours and nail art go hand in hand. You can go with just one pastel colour like a powder blue or a baby pink, but what’s the fun in that? A combination of the two will grab more eyeballs for sure. Carry it with a cute phone cover and we bet your nails will stand out even more!

That Silver Lining

Just a thin line of shimmery silver along the edges of the nails is enough to get everyone’s attention. Since silver is already a loud hue by itself, painting the middle of your nail a neutral or transparent colour will make the silver pop!

Pearls Before Diamonds

If you’re into tiny nail accessories, pearls will be perfect for you to play around with. They’re dainty, they’re adorable and look oh-so-charming from afar!

Yin & Yang

This pretty outline nail art is what dreams are made of! It’s got the best of both worlds with the two contrasting colours – white and black. Plus, the tiny accessory in the middle marries the two colours. 

Black Is Love

Black rimmed nails don’t give a gothic look, but a gives a sultry Morticia Addams feel. Put on some midi rings and we bet the first thing that people will notice will be your hands. 

Go The Neon Way

What we love about this nail trend is that it’s not a bright, too flashy neon shade to step out the house with. On the contrary, the nail trend is wearable and pretty funky. Teamed with a subtle coloured outfit like a navy blue or a beige – you’re bound to look like one fashionable diva.
