In the world of nail design, two trends are currently taking center stage: minimalism and maximalism. They couldn’t be more different — yet they have one thing in common: both express your unique personal style.

Some days, we’re drawn to soft, understated nails that add an elegant touch without screaming for attention. On others, we want something bold and eye-catching — a look that reflects creativity, joy, and confidence.

Both styles offer endless ways to express yourself. Let’s find out which trend matches your current mood and explore the perfect products to help you create your dream look.


Minimalist: Less is More

Minimalist nails are all about clean lines and subtle shades. If you love elegant, timeless designs, this trend is for you. It’s about simplicity, softness, and refined beauty.

How to get the minimalist look:


Soft Gel Press Ons in a Babyboomer Look

This design is perfect for everyday wear — polished enough for the office, yet graceful enough for special occasions. It gives your hands a clean, natural finish without being too flashy.


Maximalist: More is More

If you’re into bold colors, glitter, and standout patterns, the maximalist trend was made for you. It’s all about having fun, making a statement, and letting your creativity shine. Maximalism isn’t just a nail style — it’s a mindset. The more, the better!

Love the maximalist look? Try this:
