I have commitment issues when it comes to nail color.
My Pinterest page is overflowing with minimalist nail art, and I love it. I don’t know if any of ya’ll are like me when it comes to picking a nail color, but I am super indecisive about it. Because I am always working with different materials as an art teacher/artist/server, polish usually doesn’t hold up very well on my nails. However, for special occasions, I do like having them painted with shellac. I JUST HAVE TROUBLE COMMITTING TO A COLOR.
If you want to try nail art without spending a ton of time painting, try these cute stickers instead! LOVE them for a quick nail design.

A wise woman once said, “If you don’t know what to do, do nothing.”
So, the past few times I didn’t pick a color at all. Nope. All clear everything for me, dawg.
What’s the point of clear nails? You can add minimalist nail art!
With clear nails, I still get all of the benefits of shellac. My nails look “done,” they are thicker, and they don’t break. Also, I CAN PAINT THEM WHATEVER COLOR I WANT, change the color easily, and it will last waaaaay longer than if I had no shellac underneath. I love the minimalist nail art trend that’s happening right now, so lately I have been adding my own minimalist nail art designs over the top of my clear shellac.
Multi-colored dots nail art!
I ended up painting little dots of nail polish over the top of my clear shellac for a colorful, minimalistic, nail. Pro tip: To make the dots, use the end of a bobby pin. You could also purchase dotted nail wraps, which are linked here.
I used Sharpie for the black because I couldn’t get the top off of my dark nail polish. Seriously, I tried everything to get that top off, including nutcrackers. I suppose you could do all the dots with different colored Sharpies if you wanted to. You would just have to put individual dots of clear polish over each dot because the Sharpie smears easily.
This is topcoat will literally dry your polish in about a minute, though.
Really feeling minimalistic nails right now.
Do ya’ll wanna see more minimalistic nail designs? I’m here for it, so let me know in the comments below. I also have a “Nails” board on Pinterest with some pretty good ideas. You can check that out here if you like.
Thanks for reading this.
Love, Kayla Faith
