Paintbox creative director Mabelyn Martin designed a mani minimalists will love, with a partial outline allowing the natural nail to shine through. "Creating a partial outline of the nail with this curvy design gives the nails a sexy edge by exposing the natural nail while slightly framing it with a rich pop of color," she explained. "Natural hand movements reveal both bare shine and an unexpected graphic detail."
