1. Almond pink nails
Any shade of pink looks good on almond-shaped nails, and speaks of elegance and sophistication. They can be ideal for any occasion, whether casual or formal. The style can use pink as a solid color or accentuate it with a contrasting color. They are eye-catching, and depending on whether a paler or brighter shade of pink is used, the effect on almond nails can be both subtle and dramatic.
2. Embellished pink nails
Nobody can miss embellished nails, and nothing works as well as rhinestones. They draw all attention to the nails and can become the focal point of one's look Rhinestones come in different shapes and sizes and add a certain zing to one's look. They work well with all shapes of long nails whether they are pointed, rounded or straight.
There is no limit to how much embellishment can be done on one's nails — it can be a simple line of small rhinestones at the cuticle or one can get each nail embellished in a different pattern with rhinestones.
3. Glittery pink nails
Shimmery nails are great to flaunt — a subtle pink for the day and a bolder shimmer for the night. One can paint all the nails uniformly with pink glitter or use different shades of pink for all the nails. Ombré nails with glitter have a very striking effect too. The nails can also be painted a solid pink with glitter at the tips. Glittery pink looks very elegant and can draw attention without being extra.
4. Pink nails accentuated with black
Black combined with pink gives a bold look and immediately catches one's eye because of the contrast. Geometric designs with black on pink look smart and attractive, as do lines.
This is a look that is enhanced with creativity, and can look both pretty and dramatic depending on how one designs them. Pair it with the right dress and accessories and there's no way those nails will be missed.
5. Stiletto pink nails
With Nicki Minaj's recent launch of Pink Friday nails, stiletto nails have become quite the rage. Adding pink often conveys the message that femininity doesn't mean one can be messed with.
There's no way these nails can be missed with their dramatic and bold look. Any shade of pink looks great on stiletto nails, and can be perfect for a trendy and contemporary look.
6. Dotted nails
Dotted nails give a playful look. One can place them in any pattern and use any color. Dots on nails work well with both short and long nails. Adding glitter or a play of two colors adds to the glamor quotient of the look. A rhinestone on a few nails or some gold foil can be used to embellish the look further. Or one can combine two shades of pink to make the look all the more flaunt-worthy.
7. Coffin pink nails
Coffin-shaped nails are very similar to stiletto and almond nails, except the top is cut straight across. French tips add a lot to the elegance of coffin nails. These nails, sometimes referred to as ballerina nails, are a combination of sophistication and sleekness. A touch of glitter at the flat tips and tapered edges adds some zing to the look and makes it perfect for a night of hard partying.
New nail trends are emerging all the time but pink never goes out of fashion. From baby pinks to hot pinks there is no dearth of ideas when it comes to one's nails. One can play with different shades, go for an ombré look, or add to their oomph with glitter, rhinestones or small stickers.
Whether it is a glam evening or just a casual outing, pink nails will always hold you in good stead. So flaunt those nails and watch as heads turn.
