We’re stripping things back this week with our half naked talons. Nail artists are opting for a little less polish and a little more nail with cut out shapes and half designs over a clear base.

Go classy with a half houndstooth design or keep it cute with some cut out hearts. All you’ll need is some acetone or regular nail polish remover to cut the shape out of your base coat. Studs and charms add some extra glam if you’re feeling a little bare.

Negative nails are the perfect alternative to full colour this, adding a natural touch that is unconventional and bang on trend.
