Minimalism is a movement meant to help declutter and destress our lives. Its main statement is to live with less, which in turn helps us to not have an excess of anything so that we can focus on prioritizing experiencing all that life has to offer over possessions. Choosing a minimalist outlook is all about intentionality, and the same concepts can be applied to your nails. Maybe you're thinking that nail designs might not hold that much weight in our lives, but you'd be wrong!
Think about how you feel in a sleek and simple yet cozy outfit. Great, right? Or how you feel when you've applied the perfect amount of makeup to enhance your natural features and look amazing. Same goes for your manicure, especially one that you'll be gawking over day in and day out! If you're focusing on embracing the minimal aesthetic, your manicure is a small change that can make a big impact.
Whether you want something colorful, you just can't go without glitter, or you're after a bolder and more artistic statement, we have the minimalist nail design for you! Keep reading to discover 20 of the best minimalist nail ideas that will bring a smile, and maybe even a sigh of relief, to your everyday.
