If you’re thinking about your next manicure, we’re almost sure you won’t be thinking about nude nail ideas. As popular as unisex clothing is, people often opt for a little more color on their nails, making this little spot their boldest beauty statement.

While that’s all good, we couldn’t help but be fascinated by some of the nude nail art designs we’ve seen on Instagram recently—and we think you’ll feel the same way. From starry details to matte finishes, you’ll find 31 nude nail art designs worth considering at your next nail appointment.

You can never go wrong with nude nails. Neutrals are perfect for any outfit, any season, any occasion.

Nude nails are perfect for any occasions

I love nude nails because they can be fancy, ultra-classic, and trendy, but they can also be casual for a beach day or sporting event. They don’t conflict!

A few years ago, solid color manicures were all the rage, but intricate nail designs are all the rage now. In 2022, you will see delicate flowers, marble designs, or geometric patterns on nude nails.

Some of my favorite easy nude nail design ideas are:

Coffin nails. If you are a coffin nail girl, then you are in luck. Naked nails look especially beautiful in the coffin shape, and there are so many intricate tricks you can add! Check out the photos below for inspiration.

Flower design. I love some more delicate flower designs, primarily white over nudes, but I also love heavier hand flowers in color or jewels.

Matte blend shimmer. The trend right now is to make the nails shiny and frosted. I love the inspiration below. The shimmery and matte are both nude but with slightly different shades. It’s unique but subtle!

Star. Celebrity nails are all the rage, but I like nude nails. It’s classy and fun.

Swirl nails. Gorgeous swirl designs can be done on nude nails and swirls in white or gold look especially good.

Nude tricks. If you like colored nails, try nude nails. This is a more subtle yet edgy nail art that can go with any outfit.

If you’ve had your nails done at a nail salon, I recommend checking with your technician ahead of time to see if they can pull off the designs. You can also do some different methods based on their skill level.
