6 Best Natural Nail Designs to Try for 2023

1
Natural Nail Design: Euphoria-Inspired Nails
Euphoria-inspired makeup can be intimidating for minimalists, which is why I recommend getting in on the trend with a wavy mani like this one here. It’s subtle but still cool, and all you need is a clear base coat, opaque white polish, and a few tiny gemstones to DIY.

2
The Neutral Crystal Mani
There’s just something so stylish about nude nails, and this look ups the ante with a gem placed on each tip. This requires essentially no experience, because all you have to do is paint your nails with your favorite neutral polish and then pop a sticky gem on top.

Natural Nail Idea: Simple Smiley
Nail stickers are all the rage these days because they’re inspired by professional nail art, but don’t require a steady hand. These still give off the same vibe as a carefully drawn on smiley, just without the time or expertise it takes to actually draw one.

French Manicure Design
This is for anyone in their Wednesday era. The barely-there black tips on these clear nails can be achieved by dipping nails into black polish rather than painting the polish on.
5
Natural Nail Design: Dominos
If your go-to mani is in a pale pink polish shade, the easiest way for you to experiment with nail art is by using nail dotting tool to add subtle black and white dots at the base of each nail. Of course, you can use any color polish for the dots, but I personally love the black and white vibe.

Natural Nail Design: The Peekaboo Mani
These nails are almost all white, except for one tiny strip where the natural nail peeks through for a negative space moment. The crisp white color keeps things fresh while the unpainted band helps to keep grown out nails looking intentional. I have this one saved in my summer nail art folder.
