Blush-Toned Nail Designs Are Everywhere—25 Ways Fashion Girls Are Wearing Them

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).

"I think pink nails are trending partially because of the 2023 Pantone Color of the Year, Viva Magenta, being in the red and pink family," explains Lange. "We’ve also seen a rise in pink with the Barbie movie coming out this year." Barbiecore, one of TikTok's many trending aesthetics, highlights its namesake's signature color, pink, while also incorporating ultra-feminine and Y2K elements. Need a real-life example? Paris Hilton walking the spring/summer 2023 Versace runway in head-to-toe pink sparkles. Greta Gerwig's upcoming film Barbie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, has also sparked a clear reinterest in blush-toned shades for nail designs.

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 re-emergence of ombre 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 esthetic 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.

"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!"—Lange

Fully embrace the mermaidcore trend by adding an eye-catching holographic top layer to your pink polish manicures.
