I’m just going to say it: nail art can be kind of cheesy. It’s not that it doesn’t look good—okay fine, sometimes it straight up doesn’t look good.

So if you’re bored of your current one-shade mani, but are lazy, busy, or you simply think complicated nail art is tacky (or all of the above!), get inspired by these minimalist nail art designs. We’ve rounded up our faves from Instagram, including some from the likes of the queen of legit cool nail art, Madeline Poole.
