Modern Purple & Negative Space Swirls
This manicure feels very contemporary and chic. It plays with negative space, allowing parts of the natural nail (covered with a clear or sheer nude base) to show through. The design features swoops and swirls of opaque purple, often paired with complementary colors like white or a soft pink, creating an abstract, artistic feel on almond-shaped nails. To try this, apply a base coat (and optionally a sheer nude). Then, using your purple polish brush or a detail brush, paint curved sections and swirls, leaving parts of the nail bare. You can add secondary swirls in white or pink. A glossy top coat completes this modern look. Using nail art tape ☍ can help achieve cleaner lines if freehand feels tricky.
