“On Wednesdays we wear pink.” And just about every other day, too. How could we not when it’s one of the most versatile colors in the game? From a classic pink-and-white French manicure to pastel baby pink nail art and everything in between, the limit on this polish simply does not exist. The options may be staggering but we managed to round up a curated edit of pretty-in-pink nail designs. Ahead, discover 15 elevated and exciting ways to wear pink nails—plus tips from Michelle Nguyen of PLA on how to get the perfect pink manicure.
Disco Darling
We’re starting out strong with this dazzling look. A pink glitter base topped with allover pink sequins? Say no more.
Party on Top
This fun pink and sparkly manicure is like a party on your nails. We love the mix of stars and sequins among the confetti glitter.
Curated Cuticles
Play the reverse card on the aforementioned glitter tips by sweeping the party to the cuticles instead. This fine, multicolored array creates a sprinkle-like look for a fun aesthetic, but swap it for a silver rendition for a bubbly champagne vibe.
Pink Clouds
This pinkish nude mani is so dreamy. We love how the soft white clouds accent the pale pink polish.
Pink Velvet
No, that’s not the name of our next album. This shimmer-packed manicure is designed to create a rich velvety effect that rivals any plush textile.
Blush Aura
Aura nails are totally in, and we love this pink take on the trend. You can further enhance these galaxy-inspired nails by adding dainty white dots and stars.
Pink Camo
We’re obsessed with these pink camouflage nails. To achieve this look, start with a light base, then layer splotches of darker pinks over the tips. For the heart cutout, we recommend seeing a nail pro, as extensions and an expert touch are likely necessary.
Groovy Pink Flowers
The most far-out aspect of this manicure isn’t the groovy white flowers with rhinestone centers but the subtle French tip design in different shades of pink.
Pink Yin and Yang
A subtle nod to harmony, this design features a ballet pink glossy base coat topped with a tiny pink yin-and-yang symbol.
Pink and White with Squiggly French Tips
What’s better than a traditional pink and white French mani? One with a pop of hot pink. It puts a fresh and modern spin on the classic look.hg
Pink and Mauve Geometric Shapes
Pink, white, and mauve in a geometric pattern will surely turn heads in a modern-but-chic way.
Slanted Metallic and Pink French
The French manicure has taken many more modern iterations as of late, including this pink-slanted French design.
Pink Hearts and Swirls
This romantic design is both bold and simple, pairing a nude base with detailed pink swirls and hearts over the top.
Pastel Shades of Pink
Can’t choose your favorite shade? Grab all your favorite pinks and paint one color on each nail for this ombré-adjacent style. Add a pop of white for an extra “oomph.”
Baby Pink and Bold Stripes
A simple, classic light pink manicure is kicked up a notch with these boldly painted stripes.
