Life’s too short for boring nails, so we’ve put together five nail art styles you can totally pull off in the office. From the pretty floral look to bold geometric shapes, get experimenting ASAP.

1.Floral Mix

This is a wonderful combination of matte royal blue and nude polish with fresh flowers atop a matte white base. The beauty of nail art design is that you can match it with whatever season there is at the present. Seasonal nail art is very easy to recreate and extremely suitable for the office.

2. Ombre Style

Amazing looking bronze and white gradient that looks absolutely stunning. If you’re unsure how to create this ombre look you can watch an easy tutorial here on how to create this look with any colour of nail polish you want as long as it’s not too out there, avoid getting into trouble at work with bright pink sparkly polish on your nails.

3. Marble Nails

4. The Golden Touch

The way a woman puts herself together is often a reflection of the way she feels and the way the current season makes her feel. This means that spring is the season when a woman will dress with fresh and bright colours to reflect. The same goes for nail art. Keep the design chic and classy, perfect for the office.

5. Geometric Shapes

Monochromatic colour palettes and minimal geometric designs are all perfect for the office as it looks smart. This design can be created by using a different nail colour shade which matches or goes in contrast with the colour black. Add on the zig zag lines on your black painted nails with the help of a toothpick. Contrasting shades such as white can be used over black giving a similar look to as that of zebra stripes.
