A pink manicure is a great solution for lovers of classics and those who are bored with a white jacket. The variety of shades of varnish allows you to make a stylish manicure for both an adult woman and a young girl. Pink nail design, contrary to popular belief, is no longer a sign of infantilism, but a synonym for grooming and style.

Tips for combining colors

The pink color of the varnish is easily combined with other colors, as it is not extravagant.

And yet there are several recommendations:

  1. The easiest way to make a manicure in pink is to choose one favorite shade. Pastel pink is perfect for the official work dress code, candy pink for the summer, peach pink can be used for French manicure.
  2. The combination of two shades of pink. For example, the selection of the ring finger in Feng Shui. As well as a combination of two pink varnishes with different effects: glossy and matte.
  3. A combination of pastel pink and black. The most popular design is to draw black lines or figures on solid pink nails.
  4. The combination of pink and white. The most “clean” and gentle option.
  5. A win-win option for a night party is a combination of neon pink varnish with any other neon color.
  6. A combination of “candy” shades: pink and blue, pink and pistachio, pink and lemon.
  7. In the autumn-winter period, the combination of pink color with coffee and chocolate shades looks very “warm”.
  8. Gray-pink manicure. Mouse-ash shades are advantageously combined with pink varnish.
  9. The pink color looks very festive, surrounded by shades of precious metals: gold and silver.It can be both monophonic options with a small gliter, and large loose spangles.

The main advice! Manicure is one of the ways to express yourself. Therefore, do not be afraid to combine incongruous, at first glance, shades. This is just a varnish that can be removed at any time.
