27 Pink Nails To Inspire You
1. Plush Pink Nails With Pearls
We're starting off strong with these gorgeous long, almond nails. They have a blush pink center that fades out to a light pink. That alone is so pretty, but the nail artists also added fun embellishments like mini pearls, hearts and stars.

2. Pink Nails With Rhinestones and a Purple Accent Nail
As the title says, this manicure has something different on each nail including perfectly spaced out rhinestones on the index finger. Then there's a nude-pink on the middle finger, a light pink pinkie (nice) and a dark purple accent middle finger and thumb.
3. Pink French Tip Nails
These nails are so chic and put a fun twist on a classic nail trend (aka French tips). A lot of nudes used for the base of French tip nails are pinkish, but this one is very pink, which only stands out more with the hot pink French tip. Love it!
4. Marble Pink Nails With Glitter
These nails are truly a masterpiece. They use a specific technique to create a marble visual effect that almost looks like clouds, too. They also have a light glitter coat on parts of the nails to give us a dreamy pink nail.
5. Hot Pink Nails With a Twist
There's nothing like a pretty hot pink nail; simple is sometimes the way to go. This one also adds a gold tip that's subtle yet so chic.
6. Nails With Pink Waves
If nail art isn't your strong suit, these pink nails with a singular wavey line might be for you. They're also just really pretty.

11. Pink Nails With Simple Lines and Rhinestones

These are a either a hot pink or neon pink nail color, but either way; they're bright! The coffin nail shape really completes the chic feel of these nails, too.

17. Pink Ombre Nails
Ombre nails have been around for a hot minute, and these are so cute you can't pass them up.

23. Pink (and Dark Pink) Marbled Nails
We have another marble nail on this list, but instead of being a very light marble that mixes with clear polish, these marbled nails are a mix of light pink, white and dark pink. They also add some chic gold flakes for an elegant finish.
24. Pink Flamingo Nails
The best animal to use on pink nails is none other than a flamingo, of course. And whether you can create them with your own nail art (like above), or you want to get nail decals, these are a fun idea to try.
25. Pink Gem Nails
This one can be modified to make it more pink for your liking. But as is, it's a nice subtle pink nail with some pink gems scattered throughout. The rainbow gems are a nice touch, though, to make it a bit more universal.
26. Pink Rose Nail Art
Look how gorgeous and detailed this pink rose nail art is! While most people probably can't create something like that with just nail brushes, thankfully nail decals exist that can recreate this look quite well. It's a simple French nail idea with one chic nail with roses on it and it's a stunner.
27. Pretty Pink French Tip Nails With Mini Hearts
Lastly, we have these lovely nails with French tips and tiny hearts throughout. This screams "Valentine's Day!" however, they're so girlie and cute that you can wear them year-round and no one will have an issue. Though, who cares what anyone else thinks when your nails are this beautiful?
