Fashionable combinations with different colors
Pink goes well with almost all colors of the main palette, but there are the most successful options.
Black-pink
Black will make the design more strict and clear. It is important to choose the right shade of pink so that the result is not vulgar. Yoghurt, ash and dusty tones are ideal. But neon, purple, berry colors in tandem with black will look ridiculous.
White-pink
White is the second black, it gets along with all colors. The design with white can be anything - French, rhinestones, ombre, the most delicate designs, lace and anything that comes to mind. The “different hands” design or highlighting one or two nails with white on one hand looks great.
Yellow with pink
A complex but effective combination. Choose berry pinks and warm yellows and you'll have the most summery design.
Pink with gold
Gold is always relevant in nail art. It is suitable for highlighting one or two fingers, drawings on a pink base, covering the tip of the nail or the hole. Give up traditional yellow gold, choose “rose gold” - your design will be unusual and fashionable.
Pink with silver
A noble combination for which you need to choose cool, calm shades of rose. Excellent design options - silver gradient, geometric patterns, rubbing.
Gray-pink
An ideal tandem for nail design. Gray is a muted, calm color, which means the tone of the rose should match it - dusty, ash, or with notes of gray or beige.
Pink and blue
For blue, pastels are suitable - pink peach, carnation, dusty, ashen. But berry ones go better with deep blue, ultramarine.
Pink and green
A wonderful spring or summer combination. The design can be anything, but active green should only set off the rose so as not to overload the composition. The greens should be herbal, but muted and calm.
Pink-violet
Two colors close in tone. The palette contains a pink-violet tone. It is recommended to choose a coated, dim violet, combining it with an ashen or dusty rose. Another option is a combination of bright lilac and neon pink. The latter is for bold creative individuals or holiday manicures.
Geometry
Pink manicure with a geometric pattern looks especially stylish. He is not too active, fashionable and rather discreet. Thanks to this, there is no need to carefully select all the details of the image. By the way, girls often do this option at home. This is due to the fact that geometric drawing does not require special skills. Just take a long, thin brush and some paint.
Marble
Marble is becoming increasingly popular among discreet and laconic designs. These are thin, barely noticeable lines that imitate the texture of natural stone. It is noteworthy that this design can be made in different shades. That is, in this case it is worth using pink as a base. And only on a few nails you need to apply black, white or another shade that suits you. It is best to draw lines with a thin brush. Thanks to this, it will be possible to achieve maximum resemblance to marble.
French rose
In addition to the usual beige shade, you can also use pink for a jacket. This manicure looks more and more tender and romantic. The main thing is to periodically add new interesting details. This can be a light design on one or two nails. In addition, it will perfectly complement sequin or crystal jewelry.
Exclusive French
In the new season, traditional French design will become more original and bold.
Newfangled versions are shown with leopard crescent moons, which can decorate all nails or serve as an accent on 1 finger. Current solutions would be combined variations with classic designs and leopard print. French nail art with white stripes can be beautifully complemented with bright spots and a gradient, which together will create an excellent composition on your nails.
Orange leopard print on nails
An unexpected bright nail solution. It’s worth adding provocation here. For example, a combination of a black predatory print with an ombre effect, where orange reaches fiery. Or you can soften it to the delicate color of withered foliage. And the orange coating with the addition of green leaves and brown spots is already a summer, exotic option.
Stripes and lines
The current geometry trend has not lost its position for several seasons in a row.
In the 2022-2023 season, laconic nail art, complemented by animal print, is considered the most popular among modern fashionistas. A very cool solution to choose would be a manicure with leopard stripes. Top masters create both thin and wider stripes with leopard print on any shape and length of nails. The top option would be a design with horizontal or vertical stripes, in which predatory patterns are clearly visible. Leopard print manicure with stripes looks best in minimalist versions, in which the design can be complemented by thin lines or small inscriptions. Fans of original solutions should take a closer look at spectacular options that can be complemented with sparkles, small rhinestones or foil.
