If you haven't heard yet, pink is making a major comeback this year. One of the ways that we're expecting fashion girls to incorporate the color into their looks is by scoring pretty pink nail designs for their manicures. I caught up with Tricoci Salon and Spas nail artist Kameron Lange to hear Wholesale Replica Bag on trending pink nail designs (and start planning for my next mani appointment).
Looking for inspiration? Barbiecore, one of TikTok's many trending aesthetics, highlights its namesake's signature color, pink, while also incorporating ultra-feminine and Y2K elements. Paris Hilton walking the spring/summer 2023 Versace runway in head-to-toe pink sparkles. Greta Gerwig's Barbie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, has also sparked a huge resurgence of blush-toned shades for nail designs.
Selecting the "Right" Shade of Pink
Ways Lange recommends trying out trendy pink looks for your nails with pink chrome (also affectionately nicknamed the "strawberry donut glaze nails" thanks to Hailey Bieber) or pink French tips. She's also seen a reemergence of ombré nails, classic French nails, and micro designs. As with any manicure, it takes special attention to detail and prep to create. "Precise cuticle work and nail shaping are key to making the polish look perfect," says Lange. "Selecting a shade that complements the guest's skin tone and aesthetic is important, too!"
If you're ready to try the trend (but in need of a bit of inspiration), you're in luck. We've rounded up four of our favorite nail designs we'll be seeing everywhere this season! Scroll on to see which ones made our list.
Glazed Heart Tips
"To create this look, you use the same unicorn chrome powders we've been using for a year (usually on more neutral light colors), but instead put it on a deeper, brighter pink!" — Ways Lange
Mermaid Chrome
Fully embrace the mermaidcore trend by adding an eye-catching holographic top layer to your pink polish manicures.
Gold Plated
We can't stop thinking about how gorgeous these barely there nails look in the sunlight with the hint of gold.
Playing With Fire
You can upgrade any jelly nail look by adding white Y2K flames. Nail Artist Brittney Boyce shows off her take on actress Megan Fox (who's gotten this design more than once, as evident on Boyce's Instagram page).
Stripy Tips
If you're in the mood to go bold, consider test-driving these two-toned nails. Simply pick your two favorite pink shades and apply them to the very tips of your nails to create a bright twist on a classic French manicure.
Negative Space Heart
It doesn't have to be Valentine's Day to add sweetheart details like these to classic, sheer pink nails.
Ditsy Florals
We wear ditsy floral nail art like this year-round, but they look especially fun and youthful when warm weather comes.
Ornate Details
Incorporate bold nail art into your next look by adding an unexpected detail like these ornate silver crosses to a sheer pink base (no explanation needed).
Delicate Rosebuds
We're not done gushing about sweet and timeless florals yet! Use your favorite skinny nail brush and a steady hand to re-create this garden-inspired design.
Two-Toned Pink
Here's a two-tone nail design we're obsessed with: a powder pink with a bright, magenta shade placed above, below, and around it. It's the ideal negative space design for anyone looking for a playful pink look.
Artistic Swirls
Lean into your artistic side by opting for a base nail polish color in a nude brown hue with the addition of hit pink swirls for an unexpected, groovy touch.
Strawberry Fields
Fun fruit designs can add a burst of personality to any manicure, and we're itching to copy these juicy strawberry-inspired nails by Hang Nguyen. It doesn't get more brighter and playful than this.
Golden Ombré
Can't decide which nail polish shade to choose? You won't have to if you give this tricolor ombré manicure a try. Don't forget to add a chrome top coat for a dazzling finish.
Two-Toned Waves
How fun are these wavy two-toned nails? We love incorporating multiple shades of pink into our manis.
Pink Perfection
Here's another blush-tone nail design for the indecisive few: Pick your favorite pink shades and run with it.
A Touch of Whimsy
If you're a romantic and love adding a touch of whimsy to your everyday style, you'll want to request this whimsical design from your nail artist. It features shades of baby pink, Botticelli-like figures, and silver details.
Double French
We'll definitely be trying this double French tip nail art by manicurist Hang Nguyen whenever we need a look that's equal parts chic and playful.
Pink on Pink
You can never have too much pink, as demonstrated by this playful pink manicure.
Abstract Shapes
The return of '70s-inspired fashion and makeup offers the perfect opportunity to try retro pink nail art like this one.
Playful Patchwork
Magenta is definitely having a moment, but according to Lange, so is bright Barbie pink. Try combining the shade with an intricate patchwork design.
Ombré Tips
Here's another way to update your classic French tips: ombré tips ranging from a sweet power pink to hot pink.
Pink Lemonade
We're not done with French-tip manicures yet! This one adds a yellow and pink twist with a throwback marbled tip that can scream '70s or Y2k.
Graphic Art
These nails combine Barbie pink and Viva Magenta for a fun and whimsical look we're planning on trying ASAP.
Half-and-Half
If you can't get enough of chic dual-shade French nails, here's some more inspo to screenshot before your next trip to the salon.
Smiley Faces
If good vibes could be captured in one nail-art design, it would be these pink-and-red smiley face French tips.
