I am not, historically, the biggest fan of the color pink, and when I go to the nail salon, I typically eschew the more feminine shades for funky navy blue, olive green, or vampy burgundy. But lately I can’t stop obsessing over baby pink nails. Maybe it’s a girlhood hangover from watching Wuthering Heights last weekend, or maybe it’s because I decided to paint my entire apartment, including the ceiling, a soft rosy terracotta so I quite literally wake up in a little blush jewel box in the middle of Brooklyn every day. Either way, baby pink is quickly becoming my favorite spring nail color.
I’ve played around with rose chrome nails and a few pink nail designs in the past, but the pure timeless luxury of a baby pink manicure cannot be ignored. There’s a reason why you’ll often see celebrities walk the red carpet with a set of blush nails—it’s lengthening for your hands and looks good on everyone. Still, not all baby pink polishes are created equal. Whether you lean towards the soft ballet slipper tones or crave a warmer variation, I’m confident that this year’s hottest nail trends will no doubt include this stunning shade.
