There are so many beautiful shades of pink nail polish, you are sure to find one to suit your mood. These neon pink nails are just perfect — dress it up or down and wear it with your spring and summer wardrobes or as a pop of color during the cooler months.
You can find this exact shade from I Scream Nails; it’s Sickly Sweet. I love Wild Orchid from Olive and June.
4. Light Pink Nails
Go sweet with a pale pink. This is a great choice if you want something closer to a neutral but still want a bit of color. You can wear it to formal events without taking away from your overall look, or choose this pink color for your everyday look because it goes with everything.

If animal prints are too plain for you, amp them up by painting them in a shade of pink! Start with a simple design like this cow print. Even a beginner can paint them: paint a light pink shade as a base coat, then add blobs in a darker shade. Voila! Done.
6. Edgy Pastel Pink

The best part about this abstract pink manicure? You can’t mess it up! Use whatever pink shades you want, add some white areas, and then use a dotting tool to make black dots and lines.
7. Pink Lemonade

The perfect summer nails! Nothing is as refreshing on a hot summer day than some (pink!) lemonade. Paint your nails a fun, bright pink and then add lemon slices to the bottom of a couple nails.
8. Pink Clouds

Cloud nails but pink! Who says a sky can’t be pink and not blue? You do you boo and if you want a pink sky with puffy white nails we say go for it! You can use a Q tip or dotting tool to make the perfect amount of fluff for your clouds.
