The minimalist
Going minimal may seemingly be dull or uninspiring, but many looks presented on the Fashion Week runways have proven to be on the simpler side. Bare nails were amped up with random perpendicular lines of gold polish, while some use interesting lines using simple but contrasting and bold hues.

Funky Fun
While most of us revel in nude, monochromatic colours or simply choosing to stick with the reds, there are others who take wacky and funky as the new black. Opt for 3D textures to add fantasy and excitement.

Bring back the reds
Going with red will (almost) never go out of style - provided that you experiment with those classic red hues in darker, paler, lighter and more stark red. Matching nails and lipsticks always do the trick. Try it for yourself.

Grey’s the boss
Grey is totally in at this point of time - not only for the Fall season. Pale, dove, matte grey nails give a look of sophistication and elegance that black and white couldn’t offer. Throw on a couple of simple rings to elevate that confidence.

The French Tip
Sleek, chic, sassy - the (updated) French manicure brings trendy to a whole new level. Say goodbye to the ever-so-popular pale pink base and bright white tip, while trying out new colours. Besides, black never fails to create the needed drama.

Negative Space
Negative space manicure with its windowpane effect creates a minimal look that gives an angular and geometric feel. It is perfect for a youthful, edgy look.

The fashion runways have not only brought us hairstyles and new makeup creations, they’ve also inspired us with fresh palettes on nail artistry.

Not long ago, nail art wouldn’t be the most ‘in’ thing at all. Who would have noticed your discoloured nails? It was either a nude or basic French. But we can’t lie to ourselves further – well-groomed, artistically designed manicures do make all the difference to our look. Imagine a polished look with a stunning dress, heels and done-up hair – horrified with chipped nails. Well, it certainly doesn’t do justice to yourself.

Starting this year afresh, let your nails be the perfect canvas to your imagination. Here are 6 types of nail art ideas that you can try and essentially change things up a little this season.
