As it goes with nail art, some trends will live on for a long time while others will fade out only to be replaced by some new, ingeniously artistic trend that will revolutionize the way we do our nails. Most recently, the negative space mani trend, popularized on the runways and also by celebrities, has taken the nail art world by storm. Along with all you minimalist lovers, we simply cannot get enough of this less-is-more look, but if you're not familiar with the style, we'll break it down for you: a portion of the nail is covered with lacquer or a design and the remainder of the nail is left uncovered, showing the natural nail underneath. All in a purposeful effort to make your nails look more visually compelling.
So, what is it about this particular nail trend that has us convinced that it will last for a long time to come? Because not only are the creative liberties endless, they also add a unique touch and personal style to match. Unlike the simple and sometimes traditional french manicure (yawn), the negative space mani does not require a specific base colour, in fact, it request no base colour at all!
Whether you are going for a linear look or a geometric one, choosing a negative space mani will definitely help you explore your own creative genius. Proving that sometimes less polish will actually help you achieve a "more polished" look, scroll through our pictures to get inspired by Negative Space nails that will surely receive positive feedback...
