Negative Space Nail Design
In art, negative space is the space around an image. In a black and white image, the item is usually done in black and the negative space around it in white. It’s a trendy design that you can often see in photography, art, and home decor.
“Fashion week Spring 2017 saw tons of nails in this style on the runway” reported Madeline, “such was the case at Proenza Schoeler and Vera Wang.” Negative Space design makes a feature of empty space and asymmetry. It’s something seen not only on nails this season but also in the collections of designers like Christopher Kane, who showed sheer paneled negative space dresses.
Supplies
The Negative Space trend is simple to create yourself. All you need is a regular bobby pin, Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Creme de la Creme and Miracle Gel Top Coat.
