53 Pink Nails To Try, From Ballerina To Barbie

Pink nails are trending even a year after Barbie hit the big screen, because the shade will always offer up a whole gradient of covetable manicures. Milky pink and ballerina hues remain a popular go-to shade, but brighter fluoro pinks are picking up more and more ground as maximalist nails ditch low-key manis for something entirely statement.

Wherever you fall on the scale, pink remains one of the most versatile nail colours out there. Its spectrum stretches from delicate pale pinks, rosy blushes, tawny pinks and muted pinks, all the way to bold hot pink, neon, fuchsia, cerise and raspberry. That’s a whole load of options for one shade to offer.

Within its kaleidoscope, it delivers neat, clean neutrals (like OPI’s much-loved Bubble Bath), and white-pinks (CND’s milky Romantique is a smash-hit among beauty editors).

Mid-toned pinks are pretty and delicate without being too shouty. Blush, rose and pink lemonade feel fresh and work year-round.

Or, there’s the more audacious shades – watermelon and coral feel perfect for summer while vibrant hot pinks like Chanel’s Diva and Nails Inc’s Sun Street Passage, will give you holiday fingers and toes whether you’re off on your travels or not. For autumn-winter, a berry pink can add some cosy sophistication.

And, if you’re still not sure what colour to go for, wear a few on the same finger with an ombré design, or wear different tones on each finger with a gradient mani.

Here’s 65 ways to wear pink nails…
