This trend focuses on simplicity, opting for understated elegance over elaborate designs. It often features neutral color palettes and subtle accents.

The overall look is fresh, modern and effortlessly chic, making it a popular choice for those seeking a minimalist yet stylish approach to nail care and beauty.

If you're still a little bit unsure of what exactly a clean girl nail would look like, here are some examples for you to show your nail tech next appointment.
