I’m not the only one: “Pink can feel playful, elegant, romantic, or bold, depending on the shade,” says New York City-based nail artist Elle Gerstein. If you think about your most recent nail salon visit, you probably saw more shades of pink polish on the wall than any other color. The vibe you’re going for can also inform the shade of pink you choose. “Soft pinks feel classic, clean, and professional, which makes them perfect for everyday wear or formal settings,” says Connecticut-based nail artist Temeka Jackson. “If it blends and enhances your skin instead of looking chalky or too stark, it’s a good match,” Robinson explained.
