20 Pink Nail Designs & Ideas You Need To Try
Pink nails are a timeless classic that can be dressed up or down for any occasion. Whether you’re a fan of soft blush tones or bold, vibrant pinks, there’s a nail design for every style and mood. From chic minimalism to intricate art, here are 20 pink nail designs and ideas to inspire your next manicure.
1. Pink French Tip
Upgrade the classic French manicure with pink tips instead of white. Pair with a nude or blush base for a trendy yet polished vibe. Add star designs for a festive look!
2. Pink Gradient
