For beauty lovers who are looking for the perfect way to update their fingertips, there’s nothing quite like pink talons for a ladylike spin on your classic manicure. Whether you’re in the mood for brilliant fuchsia tones or muted pastels, pink is the colour du jour and a perfectly acceptable choice for the season of summer romance. As we await rising temperatures, we’ve curated our favourite pink manicure ideas to instantly revitalize your fingertips.

Hot pink tips accented with dainty white florals: If you prefer jaunty colour, try taking your inspiration from this nail art idea, which uses Essie’s creamy fuchsia Bachelorette Bash shade as a base coat. For an accessorizing touch, decorate your polished and vivid pink fingertips with intricate white dots and tiny blossoms.

Contrasting blush pink and glittery metallic nails: Meanwhile, painting your fingernails with pale pink nail lacquer can help to showcase your tanned, sun-kissed fingers. For a gorgeous contrast, polish a single fingernail on each hand with a metallic gold shade to create an eye-catching accent.

Alternating stripes of various shades of pink: For a simplistic yet perfectly feminine nail look, turn to multiple shades of pink. Try painting slim vertical stripes of petal pink, a slightly darker pastel hue and a bold dark pink for a glamorous monochromatic mani. If you’re an indecisive nail addict who can’t find the perfect nail statement, a range of pretty pink hues just may be a suitable springtime look.
