Return Of The Pink Mani: The Colour That Has Taken The Internet By Storm (Again!)

So, you've finally planned that trip to your manicurist and are looking for inspo? Pink is a great shade to consider. It's a versatile manicure colour that transitions beautifully from desk to drinks. Why? Pink complements both cool and warm tones. Moreover, it pink nails can span from sheer and subtle manicures to neon and eye-catching shades – it all depends on your personal preference. Below, we share the best pink nail art designs for any taste.

We couldn't help but start with the French manicure. This timeless style dates back to the '70, when it was created to be a chic option that pairs well with models' many outfits during fashion shows. A few decades later, the pink and white combo is still a beloved staple even outside the runway. What's even better is that nowadays there are so many styles that give a fun twist to the original, like this one with hot pink tips.

And if you're not a fan of nail art, that's good too. Solid pink nails are a simple yet super chic and classy style that you can sport everywhere. We love this hot pink style to bring a ray of colour and sunshine into the Monsoon season. If you want a more subdued option, you can opt for baby pink or ballet shoe pink.

Can't decide what colour is your favourite? No problem! The ombré nail trend lets you fade from one shade to another, leaving a trendy gradient effect. You can go for an all-pink look or mix and match colours together.

Are you a fan of the clean girl aesthetic? Then the latest soap nail trend will tick the box for you. It makes your nails look fresh, perfectly filed and luxurious with a 'barely there' effect that uses shades of beige, white and baby pink. The final touch is an ultra-glossy finish that makes your hand look like they've just come out of a bath.

Amongst all nail art designs, geometric shapes never go out of fashion and reinvent themselves every season. The cool thing about this style is that it can be as simple or as complex as you want, like this pop-art-inspired nail art design in pink.

Whether you're a maximalist or minimalist nail art lover, it's hard to say no to glitter nails. They can be worn all year round–you don't have to reserve them for the festive season–for a sparkle of joy to break up midday blues.

There's something so romantic about floral pink nail art designs. Adding floral patterns to your mani can instil that spring-feeling during any season.

We can't get over these dreamy nails! Of all pink and white nail art designs, these white clouds on a baby pink background have to be our favourites for the warmer season. Bonus point if you add a rainbow sticker.

The camo print never really goes out of fashion, so why not try camo pink nails? This super trendy style combines different shades of pink for a unique look. Trust us, despite the camouflage, your mani will not go unnoticed.

You can't go wrong with soft pastel. Pastel nails are great for a DIY manicure at home. Whether you go for a simple mani or play with curls and swirls designs, we approve!

Simple and charming, aura nails (or airbrush nails) are one of the hottest designs of the year. A burst of diffused colour starts from the centre of your nail and spreads out, and you can match it with your energy and mood or the seasonal colours.

If you're looking for Y2K-coded pink nail art designs, this pink animal print has to be on top of the list. Recalling the animalier obsession of the beginning of the decade, the zebra print will add that cool yet nostalgic feeling to any manicure.

If you're wondering how to keep your salon manicure looking fresh for longer, here are our top tips:

1. Wear gloves when doing the dishes or cleaning. Hot water with detergent is a lethal combination for your fresh mani, so make sure you protect your hands with rubber gloves!
2. Use cuticle oil. Keep dry, broken cuticles at bay with a few drops of cuticle oil every day before bedtime. This simple tip doesn't only beautify your hands but also strengthens your nails.
3. Don't bite or pick your nails. It goes without saying, biting or picking your nails is the #1 enemy of your mani. Keep a file nearby and smooth out any rough edges instead.
4. Keep hands moisturised. Alongside cuticle oil, we recommend using hand cream regularly, to keep your hands feeling soft, hydrated and healthy.    There you have it, the hottest pink nail art designs to try in 2024. They're all so beautiful we won't blame you if you change your mind – or better, your mani – every few weeks!
