After so many seasons of wacky nail art and bold colors, sheer nail polish is a refreshing change for spring. "I'm seeing lots of sheer whites, nudes, and grays," said celebrity manicurist Jin Soon Choi. "It's clean, simple, and chic."

Choi recommends using only one coat of sheer polish if your nail beds are naturally white, and apply two coats if they're darker. Plus, there's no rule with shape or length when you're using a sheer color, she said. Although it's a minimalist look, don't toss your manicure kit quite yet. "It's a natural manicure, but nails will continue to be 'done,'" said MAC manicurist Marian Newman. "That's the biggest trend."

Nail art will still be around in 2014, but the looks we spotted on the runways were more subdued than seasons past. The best of the bunch was this half-moon manicure, which was everywhere from Lela Rose to Milly and Jenni Kayne. They key takeaway, according to Butter London Global Colour Ambassador Katie Jane Hughes, is to apply nail art on top of nude polish. �I love creating nail art on a nude base because it gives the illusion that the nail art is floating on the nail,� said Hughes. And even though it's a spring trend, she suggests trying it now: "It�s a totally wearable trend for fall," Hughes said.
