If you’re anything like me, you absolutely love having your nails done. But the hardest part is choosing a nail colour to commit to. While we’re big fans of nail art, or opting for a new, bold nail colour, there’s something to be said for timeless pink nails. Pink is dependable, goes with all of your outfits, and is neutral–without being boring. Whether you opt for a classic baby pink, an expensive-looking muted nose, or a subtle, translucent wash of pink–AKA, “clean girl” nails–pink is a the tried and tested colour we default to when we’re overwhelmed by nail colour options.
Ahead, you’ll find plenty of pink nails to inspire your next manicure. Whether you opt for a baby pink, bright fuchsia French tips or a subtle wash of pink, there’s something for everyone.
Can’t decide which colour pink to go for? We’ve all been there. Why not opt for a different hue on each nail?
Want something more subtle? Two similar shades paired together give a nod to the trend.
