25 Neutral Nail Art Designs to Try in 2022

A neutral manicure just feels classier; am I wrong? Some seasons I am guilty of getting the same color again and again, whether that’s light pink, nude, or clear. I simply can’t help myself; the colors are guaranteed to pair nicely with any outfit I choose.

However, even the prettiest of colors do tend to get a bit boring after a few months on rotation. That’s why it’s essential to have some trendy, yet delicate, nail art designs in my back pocket (or in this case, my Pinterest board).

If you’ve been following along with my nail series for the past few years, you know that the reason that I do these round-ups for each season is because the majority of inspiration that pops up on Instagram and Pinterest if you type in “nail art for Valentine’s Day” for example, are images that would make even my 16-year old self cringe.

While I will admit that some occasions call for going a bit over-the-top, the two areas that I believe should stay consistently classy and minimal are home decor and nail art.

With the holiday season behind us, what better time to embrace simple and elegant nails?

So, today I wanted to provide some chic and sophisticated nail art inspiration for the year ahead.

From brown French tips to neutral ombre nails, tasteful abstract designs, and more, I’m confident that you’ll leave this post feeling inspired to get (or DIY) your own manicure!

In case you missed it, I shared my favorite Nail Art Designs That Aren’t Tacky for Summer, Spring, Fall and Winter on the blog (catch up on all of them by clicking on the direct links).
