Negative space nails sound as if they are not from this world, but it is a trend that lives from its reduced design and still conjures up beautiful nails.
Yes, our nails are becoming more and more exciting, colorful and individual, and new trends are revealed to us every day that we absolutely want to imitate. But what is behind the designs that are currently adorning so many nails? We present you Negative Space Nails and explain what they actually mean. Spoilers: you will love it!
Negative Space Nails: Minimalism without being minimalist
The special nail art has actually been with us for a little longer and is defined by individual works of art that do not cover the entire nail. Be it small dots, curved lines, flowers or smileys. There are really no limits to what you can imagine here. Negative space nails allow us to be completely free and give our nails a special touch. The special feature lies in the omission of individual areas and the work with several colors and shapes. Wave patterns, which currently adorn many nails, are particularly well-known. This method draws different lines that can look different on each nail. The look is particularly beautiful when different colors are used.
It doesn’t always have to be a lot
If you would like to try it out first, you can try simpler variants in which the nails appear more uniform. Even individual nails become eye-catchers through omissions. The remaining fingers can then be completely painted in the chosen color – this will bring some calm to the design. Just choose your favorite color and leave a little more space on individual nails. This creates a minimalist look directly. With tones in the same color family, small accents can be set that still look subtle.
Definitely not boring
At Negative Space Nails there is really only one thing: it must not get boring. Even the minimalist designs can be made very exciting and the space on the nails is used really well. There are so many ways and techniques you can try. Admittedly, it takes practice to come up with really precise designs and to get different styles done well, but the beautiful styles speak for themselves. How about, for example, a design that immediately conjures up a good mood on our nails and our faces? With this look, the nails become an individual spectacle, in which each one is a highlight in itself.
Put patterns on your nails
A wide variety of patterns can also be used for the special nail art. It doesn’t have to be waves or little hearts, but checks, marble patterns and cow spots can also be applied to the nails. These looks are particularly exciting and give the nails a special touch.
