Are your clients—or you 😉—always in a last-minute spiral trying to figure out what mani you want…and then end up reaching for that trusty nude or black? Well, if this season of NYFW showed us anything, it’s that nail design is the new normal. Yup, that’s right. From negative space accents and cuticle detailing to straight up artwork, scroll through some of the biggest nail trends ATM.

 

Trend: Negative Space
These looks prove that “I need space…” can be a good thing. Even Marie Kondo could get down with these minimalist yet funky nail designs.

Trend: Cuticle Details
Yes, we live for nail extensions—don’t even get us started on dreamy French tips and almond or coffin shapes! BUT why not give the cuticles some attention too?
