Translucent pink
One of the most interesting trends is transparent coatings. The ideal option here would be care varnishes with a light shade. Such coatings even out the nail plate and create a delicate pink tone with a watery effect.

Pink with sparkles
Want to add drama? Choose a pink with glitter. A shimmering semi-permanent polish with lots of sparkles that catch the light and enhance the base color can be used for both full coverage and accent nails.

Apricot pink
Peach and apricot shades are the most delicate interpretation of pink this spring, adding warmth to the manicure thanks to a slight orange undertone. It is worth considering: on very fair, cool skin, this shade can create a contrasting effect.
