Whenever I need a manicure that’s glamorous or one that’s flirty and cute, pink nails are a go-to. They automatically come to mind for their versatility, making me feel confident no matter how I plan to style my outfits for the days ahead.
Despite not being a neutral color, pink acts as the perfect base for a manicure, whether you’re wearing a solid pink design or playing around with complementary or contrasting hues and nail art to achieve a more dynamic look.
