Light pink is a classic choice for a manicure. It mimics the colour of the natural nail bed and is neutral enough to go with any outfit. And though it's not the buzziest nail colour, it's far from boring. A sheer light pink polish makes the perfect minimalist manicure for all the clean girls out there, while a bubblegum hue is bolder and bubblier. For an early-aughts callback, try a French tip, or add a coat of chrome or a bow decal for an ultra-feminine touch. Come Valentine's Day, try a romantic rose tone or a smattering of pink hearts. If light pink is anything, it's versatile.
Because light pink is so neutral, it goes with any nail shape. And because it's similar to the colour of a natural nail, chips in your polish are less obvious. Ahead, find 20 light pink nail art ideas to inspire your next manicure.
