Clear nail designs have been storming socials lately. What used to be a fairly plain design has become a trendy way to jazz up your nails without resorting to crazy colors or designs. Clear nail polish can add some personality and style without going overboard. A versatile look that can be adapted to fit your style in a way most designs can’t.
After recreating this look myself I’ve gone through thousands of different clear nail manicures to bring you my favorites. There are so many variations here, if you can’t find a look you immediately want to copy then your next manicure is on me!
