Just because you have a minimalist aesthetic doesn’t mean you can’t wow with your manicure looks. For those who are looking to toe the line between minimalist and maximalist, take some inspiration from Lisa Kon’s use of different shades of the same color on this matte finish manicure. If you can’t decide on your perfect shade, this is the look for you. To capture this style at home or during your next salon visit, make sure that all your nails are grounded in one color. In Kon’s post, each nail is a different shade of pink, but feel free to gradually lighten or darken the shades in whichever hue you prefer.
While the darker shades of pink might be out of your comfort zone, the familiar nude tones level out the look, keeping it based on a unique yet simple style. If you tend to go the glossy route, a clear coat can be added for a perfect shine in lieu of adopting the matte look highlighted by Kon on Instagram. Any of these light colors would work for a more toned-down, truly minimalist manicure, so mix and match options to find the right one for you.
