From ballet pink and French tips to glazed, princess and chrome nails, pink keeps finding a new way to feel fresh.
There are nail trends you try once. Then there are the ones you somehow keep coming back to. Pink belongs firmly in the second category.
· Starting from the barely-there French manicure, with soft pink bases and crisp white tips.
· Then came Barbie pink, bringing unapologetic color and a little Y2K nostalgia back to our fingertips.
· Then glazed nails gave pink a pearlescent glow.
· Coquette made it softer and sweeter with bows, pearls and delicate details.
· And now we're seeing princess pink, chiffon pink, rosewater and chrome take their turn.
The interesting part - These looks don't really replace one another but simply give it a new personality.
