The best ideas for unusual pink manicure
Thanks to the variety of shades, this color is a wonderful basis for experimentation. Nail artists present many design options, from shocking, youthful, to discreetly noble. Images applied by hand or using ready-made stencils and stamps are perfectly combined with shades of pink. The themes are very different, to suit individual tastes:
- hearts, flowers, butterflies, birds - that is, everything that is inextricably linked with spring, romance, mutual feelings with the chosen one;
- neutral geometry that suits any look;
- humorous scenes, inscriptions and initials;
- lace, cobweb, abstract ligature.
They complement pastel, discreet colors, or stand out in contrasting colors. In addition, shiny jewelry is in fashion - rhinestones, sparkles, and mesmerizing play of colors using the ombre technique.
The gradient is no longer an experiment
This technique is not new and has long proven its worth. Gradient transitions are appropriate on all nails or on a couple of accent ones. Moreover, the raspberry tones make excellent combinations.
It is worth experimenting with a layout with raspberry pink, beige, white, purple, lilac. The most daring fashionistas ask nail artists to make transitions from crimson to blue, yellow, orange or even green. Looks appropriate only in the summer.
Matte pink manicure
For the simplest design, nail artists suggest using a regular colored base and a matte top. This coating makes delicate shades even softer and adds depth to rich shades. As an additional decoration, a gradient is used, three-dimensional 3D images, modeling, hand painting or stickers are applied.
Instructions:
- prepare varnish of the desired color, matte finish;
- trim the plates, trim the cuticle, treat with a disinfectant or nail polish remover;
- apply the base in a thin layer, repeat;
- the final stage is the finish layer.
After this, the nails need to be protected for an hour so that everything dries.
Rubbing
The technique is widely known due to the popularity of mirror nails. It is difficult to replicate this effect at a professional level, but resourceful nail artists have found a way to create a reflective coating on their own. For this purpose, mirror powder is used, the particles of which are so small that when applied they resemble stardust.
The powder is applied by rubbing into the base varnish, in which it is structured and creates a magnificent metallic effect.
Pink manicure with rhinestones
Sparkling elements invariably attract the eye, ideal for festive, special occasions or expressing individual character traits. This year, glitter is in demand, as well as large and small rhinestones and metal. Fashionistas use a variety of elements to decorate their nail plates:
- rhinestones with a clearly visible cut, reminiscent of precious diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds;
- a popular trend of the season - mother-of-pearl stones-pearls in the form of hemispheres, polished to perfect smoothness;
- small pixie crystals made of crystal or glass, no more than two millimeters in size;
- Shinju pearls, in the form of untreated sea stones, of different shades;
- pearlescent, regular or “northern lights” shine;
- kamifubuki, broths;
- charm in the form of crowns, snowflakes, bows, various figured elements.
The decor is glued in different ways: on a liquid topcoat, acrylic or gel paste. The cheapest way is to apply gel polish that has not yet dried. The technique is quite simple:
- the surface must be prepared and base coats of varnish applied if decor is intended on a colored background. If not, then only a transparent base is applied;
- an adhesive composition is dripped onto the plate in such a way that the stone completely “sinks” into it and small sides remain;
- the surface is dried under a lamp;
- Next, the decor must be fixed with the selected top.
Small details are applied with tweezers, a toothpick with a wet tip, a manicure stick or a wax pencil. Masters warn novice fashionistas: shiny rhinestones visually shorten the fingers and the nails themselves, and therefore require graceful hands and elongated plates.
Short forms for pink manicure
At this length, spectacular berry, rich floral shades are magnificent. The soft pastel colors and transparent camouflage perfectly complement the image. The tone is chosen according to the personal preferences of the girl or woman and her wardrobe. However, we should not forget about the shape of the nails, which affects perception:
- muted powdery and nude tones are ideal for an oval;
- for a square – deep pink, fuchsia, muted scarlet, lavender.
The most popular techniques are baby boomer and French. The plain surface is decorated with geometric patterns, crystals, summer-themed designs - fruits, berries, flowers.
How to apply an image with your own hands:
- To paint juicy berries, you will need varnishes with white, green and red colors.
- Make the base white or light pink. Since berries are usually eaten with cream, you can create a white-creamy frame in the form of drops or foam.
- Place a small drop of varnish on the tip of the brush, making sure that the rest of the bristles are semi-dry.
- Press the side against the nail in the selected place or in several places if you want a group of 5-10 berries.
- Draw tiny white seed spots on the dots berries.
- Draw the green leaves of the cup and stem.
A scattering of glitter
Loose glitter is the most practical solution for fashionistas who decide for themselves how much shine their nails need. It is difficult to achieve this effect with regular glitter polish, especially if you want to cover the entire surface of the nail with it.
In this case, to obtain a more saturated golden hue, you will have to cover the nail in several layers, and when using glitter, it is enough to sprinkle your finger once.
Pink manicure on long nails
They open up many opportunities for creative experiments and serve as an excellent canvas for the artist’s imagination. This season, pastel and nude colors, various floral and geometric designs, and prints are relevant. The gradient looks luxurious on these nails. To please yourself with stylish equipment, just select several shades of varnish and apply them one by one on a sponge. Then use the dried surface to print the plate several times until the desired effect is achieved. Apply clear varnish or topcoat on top.
Fact about manicure
The first manicure set of a familiar, modern look was made almost 200 years ago, by order of the personal physician of the King of France, Louis-Philippe. The cause was suppuration on the finger after a torn hangnail.

Exquisite decor
Raspberry manicure is beautiful with any pattern. The print significantly sets off the crimson color scheme, mutes it and distracts attention from the garish notes. White or black lace, flowers painted with white or pink varnish look great on crimson.
In addition, the option with painting, patterns, Asian hieroglyphs, and text is wonderful. Depending on what time of year this nail is done and for what occasion, you should choose a pattern or type of decoration for raspberry nails.
Soft airy pink manicure
The pink palette is ideal for creating a delicate, weightless, light design. It gives the wearer an innocent, charming look. In 2022, floral motifs are at the peak of popularity - pictures with roses, lilies, blossoming or as yet unopened buds.
There are several rules to follow when creating such a drawing:
- decor is applied only to a dried background;
- flowers are easily drawn from droplets of varnish of different colors with a toothpick or a ballpoint pen with no paste;
- The leaves are painted with a special brush, using a line technique.
It is mandatory to use a finishing transparent coating. If you have doubts about your abilities, it is better to use purchased stickers, stamps, and stencils.
Main trends
The advantage of modern fashion is that it does not limit creativity and gives the opportunity to experiment. In 2018, naturalness has not lost its relevance. Regarding manicure, this means that even painted nails should look natural.
The choice of colors depends on the time of year. Spring is characterized by rich sunny shades, autumn – warm tones, which in winter will be replaced by cold colors. At the same time, throughout the year there will be current pastels (pink, nude, coffee colors). Turquoise, sand and soft blue colors will be no less popular.
Girls who want to stand out can use rich berry shades (marsala, cherry, burgundy, etc.). At the peak of popularity will be metal coatings that replicate not only the color, but also the texture of silver, gold or steel.
Experiments with green, blue or even black colors are acceptable. And, of course, where would we be without a red manicure?
As you can see, the palette acceptable for a fashionable manicure in 2022 is very wide. Therefore, any girl has the opportunity to choose exactly what appeals to her most.
Hot pink manicure
Fuchsia, raspberry, cyclamen, and hot pink are used as rich shades. They are combined with modeling, glitter, and rubbing. They are complemented with metal strips, stones, gradient techniques, as well as original designs.
cat's eye
Many fashionistas will object, saying that this technique is best used when creating a green or burgundy, blue, or black glossy manicure. But even on crimson, the cat's eye is excellent. In this technique, designers also recommend experimenting by making accent nails “cat-like” or combining them with different types of designs.
What shades to combine pink with?
Pink tones harmonize well with cold, neutral (gray, beige), and warm colors. Nail designers recommend several impressive combinations.
Black
Black is gorgeous with deep pink and pastels. It draws attention to itself, makes the plain base more lively and expressive. Apply in the form of lace, silhouettes, abstract vignettes, French.
White
An excellent, sophisticated and feminine combination. When using nude varnishes, it gives the image an aura of innocence, purity, and light. The trendy techniques are French, degrode, gradient and others. Don’t forget about delicate lace, weightlessly graceful flowers and butterflies that willingly settle on the fingers of fashionistas, causing enthusiastic sighs from those around them.
Silver
Gives pink a more aristocratic, noble look. It comes in the form of a mirror-silver coating, sparkles, and metal strips. It is used to create images.
Grey
A neutral tone mutes the pink colors and helps make the manicure more restrained and formal. The combination with pink-pastel and powder suits even a strict dress code. And for a bright look, designers offer a lot of tempting ideas - from chic ombre to sparkling rhinestones and sparkles.
Sequins
Glitter polishes create a wide variety of finishes with unique effects that look different every time. For example, a varnish resembling liquid metal. Once applied to the nail, it acquires a matte golden hue, similar to a layer of real steel.
For fashionistas who do not want to attract unnecessary attention to their nails, but still want to be on trend, we recommend using varnishes with shimmer. They create a soft, delicate coating with a discreet shine.
Varnishes with glitter, on the contrary, seem to be specially created so that your manicure does not go unnoticed. The varnish looks stylish with both small and large grains. The golden hue gives this nail design nobility and exquisite beauty.
