We’ve seen maximalist manicures take over lately, with celebrities like Cynthia Erivo and Chappell Roan sporting nail sets that took hours to complete with embellishments and a handful of colors.

Here are seven of our favorite minimalist manicure looks that still stand out but keep it subtle and chic.
