These 36 pink nail designs are bold, playful, and seriously creative. Get ready to screenshot your favourites!
Growing up, if somebody asked me what my favorite color was, I’d shout ‘black!’, and then add unnecessarily that ‘Pink is my least favorite’.
I’m pretty sure that was just me trying to look cool and different from all the other girls. But now, the grown up me loves nothing more than being girlie (thank God).
In fact, this last year, my obssession with pink has reached to a crazy new heigh. I got my first iphone, and I chose pink. I love books, so I try to find pretty versions of my favorites…in pink.
I have way too many pink lipsticks, and basically, every girlie thing you can shop, I have it in pink.
Obviously, this love would reflect in my nails too, which is what this post is all going to be about. So excited for it!
For us women, nails are our playground for self-expression. You can change them every week to match your mood, outfit, your horoscope, and everything else under the sun.
It is so so satisfying to look down at your hands and see a fresh cute set staring back at you.
Pink nails, though, take things to new level. They’re classic, sweet, but still edgy enough. And they basically go with all outfits (at least for me).
You can go for a soft blush or a loud hot shade, but as long as it’s pink, it’ll make you look pretty even when you’re in sweatpants and a messy bun.
In this post, we’re looking at 35 pink nail ideas that I am super obsessed with. You can consider this my official love letter to all things pink, lol.
Here you go, pretty lady:
