Neutral Nail Designs That Are Still Totally On Trend

Neutral nails will never go out of style. Whether it's beige, cream, brown, or muted pink, a natural-looking manicure can compliment any skin tone and outfit. No matter the event, season or holiday, neutral never fails to look put together. It also works as a good base for experimenting with other nail tip shapes and patterns. Browns, beige, and white are consistently one of the most popular winter nail trends. 

Celebrities like Selena Gomez, Zendaya and more have embraced simple polish tones, along with social media users, whom continue to show us that beige nails are anything but basic. Before you feel pressured to try an elaborate manicure that doesn't suit you, or default to the same ol' French manicure, consider trying one of these neutral nail designs.

Neutral isn't just one color, you can create the look using multiple shades ranging from a light beige to the deepest brown. Once you've gotten your color palette together, you can do just about anything. So, why not use it create French tips and add jazz it up with some hearts, or other embellishments. Either way, it will look amazing!

You can use neutral colors to accent negative space in creative ways. You can make abstract lines and fill it in with whatever neutral color, or colors that you want. Combine a dash of pink with light brown for a Neapolitan look reminiscent of the ice cream nail trend. And why not take it up a notch by making it matte? They can stand out even more as accent nails or you can make it the theme for your whole manicure.

You don't always have to add a new design to give your neutral manicure a boost. Sometimes a simple change in filing, like opting for a square shape instead of almond can make all the difference. This shape flatters with nearly every color and looks polished without being over-the-top. Classic cream with a shiny finish makes for a great everyday nail that's as good at the office as it is at an evening occasion.

For those who like to walk on the wild side, try a vertical design. It's like a French manicure, but instead of choosing a color for the tip, you paint a divider down your nailbed with any color you like. This design is a great way to spice up a traditionally beige look, especially if you have longer nails.

You can mix neutral colors to create true works of art. Marble nails add to elegance to any manicure no matter what colors you use and it would look especially beautiful as an accent nail along side muted colors. A great way to make it elevate marble nails is to add gold accents because it goes so well with every neutral shade.
