Pink color has been relevant in the world of nail art for quite some time. It is multifaceted, has different shades, and is suitable for implementing many ideas in a variety of styles. However, it is mainly associated with tenderness and romance. That is why designers believe that it suits absolutely everyone, regardless of age and clothing style. However, it all depends on the chosen shade. For example, a business or casual look will be complemented by a light pastel coating. In turn, for a trip you can safely choose bright fuchsia, which will emphasize the desire for real adventure.
Long marigolds
A manicure for long nails always implies complete freedom in choosing design and decoration, and in our case, pink nails can be decorated with flowers of any size and create real works of art on your fingers. Flowers can be bright and delicate, they can decorate accent nails or be located on several nail plates at the same time, representing a plot image reminiscent of a real flower bed. Floral designs are beautifully complemented with glitter or rhinestones, combined with stripes, abstraction and other interesting proposals.
Stylish French
This year's interpretation of the classic French jacket promises to conquer women's hearts for a long time. Pink color palette, adored by many ladies, classic manicure design and flowers in “one bottle”, what could be better? The pink tip of the nail and the clear base look simply chic with floral motifs. These can be monochromatic drawings or bright, colored images, it all depends on your preference. You can decorate all the nails on your hand or highlight one or two fingers.
A pink jacket with flowers looks wonderful on its own, but you can also further emphasize the design with shiny decorative elements, such as glitter or rhinestones.
Preparing the nail plate
A design that involves drawing roses requires a smooth nail plate and a perfect manicure. Firstly, it attracts everyone's attention, and if the skin around the nail is not well-groomed, it immediately catches the eye. Secondly, such a drawing can easily indicate all the shortcomings of the plate. Therefore, before you start creating such a design, you need to tidy up the nail itself and the skin of your fingers around it. By going to a salon to get varnish applied, you can save on a manicure and do it yourself at home.
- Prepare everything you need: a bath for manicure (you can use a small basin or bowl), a towel, manicure scissors, nippers, a file, a buff, a stick for pushing back the cuticles, an antiseptic, nail polish remover (if you had one on your nails), cotton pads.
- Apply antiseptic to your hands. Remove any remaining varnish. Use a file to make the desired shape - this is done on dry nails to avoid delamination.
- Pour warm water into the bath, if available, add a special softening agent. It is better to hover your hands, as well as perform all other manipulations, one at a time: first finish with one hand, and then start with the second.
- Remove cuticle. It’s good if you have a special liquid in your home arsenal that softens it. If there is none, after steaming, carefully trim off the excess skin.
- Using a wooden stick, carefully push back the skin at the base of the nail.
- Use a buff to polish already dry nails.

After these simple manipulations, you can go to the salon, or, if you have the talent and skills, decorate your nails yourself.
Hand painted
Hand-painted floral images are an incredibly beautiful sight. An experienced craftsman applies patterns with a thin brush, which requires certain skills and time, but such work is unique and fully justifies itself. On a pink base, multi-colored and plain designs look very beautiful, which can be highlighted with strokes of glitter, painted with contrasting colors or decorated with stones, at your discretion.
Stamping technique
Drawings in this version look more relevant on accent fingers, especially if the base underneath is different in color from the rest of the nails. As an option, you can cover your nails with fuchsia-colored varnish, and place stamped floral patterns on a pastel pink tone of one or two fingers. The opposite option also looks nice, when the nails are decorated in a light tone, and the designs decorate a more saturated base.
Combination of blue and pink
Another quite popular solution is pink and blue manicure. Especially if it is made in soft pastel colors. Of course, it looks elegant, not too flashy. But at the same time, it is one of the most relevant decorations for any image. This design is suitable for dates, important events, weddings and even travel. Just choose the appropriate pattern or decoration.
For example, for a wedding they usually do a particularly gentle moon or French manicure. They are best suited for such an important and long-awaited day. As for decor, the best solution would be sparkles and rhinestones. Moreover, the quantity can be very different, depending on the preferences and intensity of the decor on the dress. In turn, a bolder and brighter design is better suited for a trip or everyday life in the summer season. In this case, adhesive tape and other foil parts will look great as decor.
Stickers with flowers
This option is the easiest and fastest to use, which even novice manicurists can do. The finished sticker is attached to the nails, all excess is trimmed off and the manicure is ready. Stickers with flowers on a transparent, white or any colored base, which are placed on accent nails, are ideal for a design in pink colors. You can choose designs on a pink base and not cover your nails separately with varnish. There are a lot of design examples, as well as varieties of stickers themselves.
Manicure for light skin
In general, a manicure in pink tones is universal, but when choosing a suitable design, you should still take into account the color of the skin of your hands. Thus, some colors can visually age very fair skin, emphasize the redness of blood vessels, or draw attention to an imperfectly even surface. Those with pale skin with a bluish tint should limit themselves to warm tones of nail polish, as cold colors will give your hands a sickly look. But if the skin is warm, golden in color, cool shades of pink will come in handy.
Stained glass flowers
This newfangled technique has recently shown itself in the nail industry, but has already managed to win the hearts of many beautiful ladies. And today’s fashionable pink manicure with floral patterns has not remained aside. The designs on the nail plates are covered with a special stained glass gel polish, the use of which creates the effect of an image under glass. Since pink goes wonderfully with many shades, you can safely create bright contrasting designs that are beautifully placed on several nails and combined with a single-color coating.
Manicure for dark skin
Warm peach shades of pink are perfect for girls with olive or tanned skin, beige-pink and caramel colors are perfect for those with dark skin, while shiny decorative elements should be muted. Any rich shades will look good on dark skin - in this case, you should opt for a fashionable matte or velvet finish, which can be done using a special powder; a bright pink and white manicure with exotic flowers will look no less impressive.
Volumetric flowers
In addition to various designs, three-dimensional sculpted patterns decorate nails very beautifully. These eye-catching images can be plain or colored, depending on your taste, as pink goes well with other palettes. Flowers can be located on the entire surface of the nail plate or decorate only part of it. Floral masterpieces are elegantly complemented with rhinestones or beads. The decor can be part of the composition itself or act as a beautiful background around the picture.
Flowers-contour
This new product, thanks to its sophisticated appearance and simplicity of design, promises to gain a long-term position in the leadership position and will definitely appeal to lovers of classics and rigor. The features of this design are that you do not need special drawing skills. There is no need to clearly draw lines here. The drawings are done quickly and are often white or black outlines of flowers. To create a small volume, you can sprinkle the patterns with glitter or acrylic powder. Flower cores made in contrasting, bright shades or decorated with single crystals also look very beautiful in such images.
