100 + Nude Nails Designs for Gorgeously Chic Hands
Although manicure trends come and go, there are certain looks that have stood the test of time and will never go out of fashion. Such is the case with nude nails. Minimalistic, versatile and demure, they give a touch of understated glamour to your fingertips, go with every outfit, and are suitable for any occasion. It is no surprise that tons of celebs have been spotted wearing them – Anne Hathaway, Emilia Clarke, Kylie Jenner, and Kim Kardashian, for example, are devoted fans of the style. Nude nails seem to be fit even for royals, as proven by Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, both of whom seem to favor the simple and stylish look.

Although the classic nude look entails a simple coat of sheer or opaque glossy polish in a neutral pink or beige shade, nowadays you can find thousands of different variations, ranging from the minimalistic and cute, to the truly extravagant and sparkly. One of the most popular styles at the moment combines gentle nude hues with silver, gold or rose gold glitter, providing the perfect blend of simplicity and glamour. If glitter is not really your thing, but you’d still like to lend a subtle sparkle to your hands, you can opt for delicate metallic elements, like the chic silver stripes pictured below.
The perfect mix of style and sophistication
Matte nude nail polish is another favorite and it’s easy to see why! It gives your manicure a soft and cute finish, and looks great on all nail lengths and shapes. Mix it up with metallic motifs, rhinestones, or glitter for a lavish, glamorous, and luxurious manicure. Alternatively, pair it up with a long, pointy manicure for truly bold and striking finger tips, that are certain to turn heads!

If wearing a only one shade of nail polish bores you, try experimenting with different colors. Opt for a French manicure but substitute the white with turquoise, for example. Or add a coat of nude polish and then create an ombre effect using a sponge and a hue of your choice. Remember – nude nails doesn’t have to equal boring nails!
