Put away your tweezers, magnifying glass, caviar beads and nail glue. The nail art at New York Fashion Week is simple, easy-to-achieve and elegant, while still making a statement. We stalked the runway to find the chicest, trendiest new looks at NYFW, and the verdict is in: elegant, understated nails are replacing over-the-top nail art of yore.

If you love nail art, fear not: It's not dead yet. Manicurists are still having fun with wacky colors and designs (see: the braces-inspired nails at Rachel Antonoff), it's just in a much subtler way. Good news for us, since these nails are way more wearable and require much less time to achieve.

Here, the best new nail art trends from New York Fashion Week.
