Delicate Dots
Nail artist Michelle Saunders for Essie used a creamy sheer base with a drop of Essie Tart Deco to create a look meant to resemble random snowflakes. "It's nail art but in the most elegant way," says Saunders.

Artsy French Manicure
Meant to resemble snow-covered mountains, the rounded white tip Jinsoon Choi created at Tibi was more polished than prom-like.

Asymmetrical Spots
Large polka dots slid off the sides of nails at the Zero + Maria Cornejo show. Gina Edwards used Morgan Taylor Birthday Suit layered with In the Nude for the base, and Little Black Dress for the large polka dots.

Louboutin for Your Nails
Jewel-toned squares created a graphic, high-impact look at Cushnie Et Ochs. Squares were painted in Christian Louboutin Wherever and Ni Toi Ni Moi.

Go for the Gold
A simple stripe of glitter made the manicures shine at Delpozo. Essie's Matte About You, Good as Gold and Rock at the Top were used to create the look.

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.
