Out of the way: I strongly disliked nail art in early 2015. I was and am a minimalist, and nail art was the opposite.
When glitter-and-striped patterns ruled, I didn't want any part of it. After visiting Valley Nails in New York City (thanks to Misleidys),

a reverse French manicure, and now @ladyfancynails' linear nail-art design, I've come a long way.

"This allows for more control over your movements." Midori styled the look with Essie's Birthday Suit and Urban Outfitters' White:
