Twist on a Trend: Minimalist Nails to Art
Follow Mr. Kate’s board MINIMALIST NAILS on Pinterest.
Minimalist and negative space nails have been all the rage lately. It’s such a beautiful trend I was inspired to dress up my walls similarly with this DIY minimalist art! I took inspiration from the matte on shiny and simple shapes seen in many of the manicures and did a Twist on a Trend by interpreting it in interior decor!

Prep It:
- canvas
- paint brush
- painter’s tape
- two different colored paints (I used one gloss and one matte)
- drop cloth
Do It!:
- Paint the canvas with your base color paint (in our case it was a matte purple) until it is completely covered and let dry. Repeat with a second coat to make sure the base coat has good coverage and then let dry completely.
- Tape off a shape to paint your second color – we chose to do a square in the bottom middle (using a glossy paint) but you could do a triangle, side of the canvas, etc. – get inspired by the nail art!
- Paint the taped off section with your second color and let dry. Repeat with a second coat if needed.
- Remove tape and enjoy!
