For this trendy nail design, it's okay to go a bit more minimalist. The focus here is on just one tiny detail. To really showcase rhinestones , sequins , and small stamping motifs, we choose a rather light colored gel for the background color. The trendy nude colors thus become the stage for cute little sparkles and nail art .

The delicate nail details are also a treat for fans of natural nails. If you don't want gel or acrylic on your fingers, you can easily achieve the same effect using different nail polishes . Simply prime the nail with a light color, let it dry, and then add small highlights with small dots or strokes in a contrasting color.

We recommend a dot tool, a nail tool with a rounded tip. This makes it much easier to apply small dots to the nail than with a conventional gel brush . Well-groomed cuticles are, of course, essential when nail art is as purist as this one. Our guide "Intensive Nail Care" shows you how to best care for and protect your nails.

Micro-details in nail design – less is more

In 2025, the nail trend won't be "louder, more colorful, more eye-catching" – it will be more precise, more refined, and more individual . Welcome to the world of micro-details : tiny lines, delicate patterns, minimalist symbols, and the finest accents on immaculately sculpted nails.

Micro designs are the high art of restraint – and a true statement of style.

What are micro details?

Micro-details are extremely finely crafted elements in nail design, e.g.:

• Thinnest brush strokes or geometric lines

• Mini symbols such as stars, hearts or letters

• Micro-dots and dot rows

• Negative Space in Miniatur

• Fine foil accents or micro glitter

They often only appear on one or two nails , but this makes them look particularly elegant.

Why micro designs are so trendy:

• Perfect for minimalist looks with that certain something

• Unisex-suitable & gender-neutral

• Appear particularly high-quality and modern

• Can be combined with nude, milky or matte finishes

• Ideal for business looks or elegant occasions

Ideas for micro details

How to achieve the look:

1. Use fine detail brushes or nail art pens

2. Smooth and mattify the surface – micro-designs show every unevenness

3. Working with UV ink or highly pigmented gels

4. Always seal well so that the delicate lines do not run

Tip: Work with contrasts , e.g. black on nude, gold on taupe or white on milky rosé.
