From time immemorial, the color pink has been a symbol of tenderness, romance, lightness and, most importantly, femininity. That is why most girls prefer to choose an outfit in pink tones. But in order to look perfect, you need to think over a holistic image (in the modern world it is also called a Look), which will harmoniously combine all the details (dress, manicure, accessories, etc.). After reading this article, you can find out what manicure to do under a pink dress.

Nude (naked)

Nude color is a new name for a half-forgotten old “flesh” color. That is, nude colors are the closest shades to skin color (beige, pink or pale pink). There are more than a thousand such shades. Due to its simplicity and discreetness, this color is popular with many girls. Therefore, we can safely say that it is among the top fashion trends.

A manicure made in a nude color is universal, which means that it can be combined with literally any look. The most win-win option is a nude manicure done in one tone. It is best to use a matte finish so as not to overload the image. Of course, it is not prohibited to add a drawing or a well-chosen design. The main thing is to remember that the main emphasis should be on the dress, and the manicure is just an addition to it.

This manicure would go harmoniously with a light pink dress. This image can be used as an everyday option due to its elegance and, most importantly, lack of saturation. This option is also quite suitable for visiting social events, restaurants or cafes.

Accessories and decorations

Earrings, a bracelet, a light necklace, and a hairpin are suitable as jewelry for everyday outfits. For evening dresses, massive necklaces, beads, and jewelry made of gold and silver are appropriate. A win-win option would be pearls and diamonds .

You need to remember that too much jewelry can easily overwhelm your look.

Accessories include a hat, a belt, a clutch or handbag, a watch, and glasses. Chosen to match the dress, they look boring and contradict fashion trends. A pink outfit, complemented with a black belt, hat, clutch or gloves, will be elegant and seductive. A black necklace or beads will also look great. However, if there is a lot of black, the image will turn out unsuccessful.

Another option is to diversify the pink outfit with a purple palette . Darker tones (fuchsia, sea green, blue) are suitable for bright shades of pink, purple and lilac accessories are selected for a pale pink dress.

French

Today there are many different colors and manicure designs, but the classics will always be the best option. French manicure, or “French” as it is also called, has long been a classic, but despite this, it continues to be popular with most girls. The nail plate is most often covered with a transparent, pink or beige color, and at the end it is combined with a white “smile” line.

The shade of a French manicure is very important to the final look, so you need to take your skin color into account. For example:

• A soft pink shade is suitable for pale skin color;
• dark or beige skin color will look harmonious with beige or peach tones;
• dark skin color goes well with light brown or coffee undertones.

It is advisable to do such a manicure under a gold dress. It will not attract unnecessary attention, thereby bringing the dress to the fore, not the manicure. You can dilute the classics with silver varnish or silver foil. A well-made French jacket perfectly emphasizes the femininity of the hands. And due to its simplicity, it adds lightness to such a catchy golden shade of the dress. This look, like the previous one, can be worn if you plan to go to a luxurious establishment or to a party.

A French manicure for prom under a pale pink dress will look very stylish and expensive. You can complement a regular jacket with rhinestones, and use metallic or glitter instead of the classic white “smile”. The main thing is not to overdo it with the design, otherwise the image will be cluttered with unnecessary details.

Tights and shoes to add

Neat, elegant pumps with medium heels or a “glass” are the best choice . They can be decorated with a bow, applique or rhinestones, or decorated in ombre style. Shoes with thick heels, massive soles, and high platforms will look rude with a delicate dress.

In addition, depending on the style, sandals of different models, shoes, ballet flats, moccasins, and slip-ons will harmoniously fit into the ensemble. With a short dress you can wear gladiator sandals and over the knee boots. Ankle boots are appropriate with a knitted or knitted dress.

The color of the shoes can be the same color as the dress or 2-3 shades lighter (darker), neutral or contrasting, and even with leopard print. Gold and metallic colors are trending.

To prevent tights from looking ridiculous, they should be flesh-colored, 2-3 shades lighter or darker than the dress . If their color is contrasting, in harmony with the main pink, it should not be the only one in the ensemble. It can be complemented with a handbag or jewelry to match. During the cold season, you can wear brown or black tights, but they must be the same color as your shoes.

Lunar

The design of a lunar manicure is similar to a French manicure, only the white “hole” is located at the base of the nail, and it looks much more interesting. For this technique, it is better to choose bright pink colors, since pale ones will look out of place. Nowadays it is popular to cover moon manicures with a matte texture. This will add intelligence and restraint to the bright color. You can diversify the design with metallic varnish, painting only the “hole” itself.

A similar manicure with a pink dress is perfect for special occasions or for everyday work. In an office where a dress code has been introduced, more nude shades of manicure are suitable, and for a summer holiday you can do something brighter.

Fashionable styles

The design and length of the dress depend on the purpose of the outfit, the fabric and the individual characteristics of the woman . For special occasions, a long dress is appropriate. For a meeting with friends or a disco, you can buy a mini outfit with drapery, a deep neckline, bare shoulders, a fluffy skirt, or a baby-doll style. A “work” dress should be strictly cut, knee-length, with sleeves.

Knitted manicure has recently become a trend all over the world and has already become a favorite among most girls in our country. Its voluminous design, which is made with acrylic coating, creates an image of warmth and comfort. This season it is especially important to do this type of manicure in a nude shade or soft pink.

When doing this kind of manicure under a pink dress, you need to remember that it is intended for the cooler seasons. This means that it will be inappropriate under a light summer dress. A knitted manicure will look harmonious with the increasingly popular knitted dresses. This look is good for a New Year's corporate party or a quiet family evening.

Materials that are worn

When sewing a delicate pink dress, silk comes first . This is a smooth and shiny durable fabric, the very tenderness and elegance. Used for everyday and festive outfits. There are several varieties: natural silk, artificial silk, wet silk, and crushed silk.

Advantages of natural material: pleasant to the touch, hypoallergenic, bactericidal, wear-resistant. A silk dress is not hot in the summer, and in cold weather it retains body heat. The material is not easy to sew and is delicate to care for, but it fits well on the figure, drapes, and the folds flow beautifully.

Silk fabrics include satin. Plain or printed, it has always been and remains in trend. Used mainly for festive outfits, but suitable for business and street styles. is very similar to satin , only thinner and softer.

Chiffon is also a type of silk. It is visually attractive, hygroscopic, does not wrinkle, practically does not shrink and does not stretch. Dresses made from it are light and airy. Chiffon maxi dresses with long sleeves are in trend this season. Elegant evening gowns for all sizes are made from crepe de Chine, crepe georgette, muslin, dupont, satin and patterned brocade.

A beautiful pink cocktail dress can also be sewn from the following fabrics:

1. Lace, natural and synthetic. Used as the main material for finishing, sewing sleeves, bodice, and yoke. Suitable for ladies of any size and age. A universal variety is guipure.
2. Linen and cotton . Natural material, drapes well and hides figure imperfections.
3. Knitwear. Its advantages: soft, pleasant to the body, easy to care for, breathable, does not wrinkle. Thanks to its elasticity, it drapes easily, fits the figure well and keeps its shape. The fabric is made in different densities, so it can be used to sew demi-season dresses and outfits for plus size women. Disadvantages: increased stretchability and simple appearance.
4. Wool. Has properties similar to knitwear. Beautiful dresses are made from cashmere. The main disadvantage of wool products is shrinkage after washing.
5. Denim. Another natural and practical fabric. It is associated with jeans, but dresses and sundresses are comfortable and stylish. Varieties of denim material - chambry, stretch, cotton of all kinds of colors.

A pink dress, knitted by hand or by machine , is another option for a feminine look. The disadvantage of such clothing is the uneven stretching of parts during wear.

With rhinestones

To make the look festive, just add a couple of rhinestones to a plain pink manicure. Gradient or volumetric nail designs can also be complemented with rhinestones, most importantly, in moderation. Even a discreet classic French manicure cannot be transformed by adding a couple of stones to one of the nails.

It would be original to lay out an insect figurine from stones on a pastel pink nail. It would also be a good idea to add gold rhinestones to the soft pink finish on your ring finger. It would be appropriate to style this manicure under a pink prom dress; it will sparkle and shimmer beautifully on stage. This look can be created not only for prom, but also for a romantic walk around the city center. Rhinestones can also be added to the matte finish, then you get a classic, calm look in combination with a pink dress.

Powder colored cocktail dress

Beautiful powder-colored dresses are perfect for a cocktail party. They are characterized by the following features:

• short, figure-fitting products that can be lace, velvet or made of other material;
• some models have a spectacular neckline or bare back;
• Things look extremely stylish and feminine, complemented by a fluffy tulle skirt;
• the product may contain narrow or wide shoulder straps, leaving the shoulders and arms bare, and have short or long sleeves.

With flowers

The most popular nail art is floral. Its execution technique requires a reverent attitude, so not everyone can make thin and beautiful lines and curves. But this option will well dilute a boring monochromatic color. Velvet flowers on a pink cover will go perfectly with a soft pink dress. White painting on a nude finish will look intelligent and graceful.

Many girls think that this is the most beautiful manicure to go with a pink dress. The resulting image can be worn both to the office and to a special event. Floral print is relevant at any time of the year, so even in winter you can enjoy the spring mood that will be created thanks to floral painting on your nails.

Besides solid colors, French manicures are another timeless alternative. This manicure will go with everything in your wardrobe. To customize it, you can even replace the classic white with any color of your choice.

Black

Previously, many people associated the color black with rock or gothic style, but now it is a basic shade in clothing that gives the appearance of elegance and severity. However, in the nail service, when choosing this color, you need to take into account all the subtleties of its design and combination with other elements. A plain black color without any added embellishment or design will look gloomy.

Below is an example of a successful combination of black with different manicure designs to match a pink dress:

1. With a gold design, it's a winner to add intricate geometric shapes to a glossy black base. Also, for those who love minimalism, you can make a thin golden line, it will turn out quite laconic and fashionable. If you want to design your nails in some original way, then marble design is the best bold solution.
2. With a silver design: A silver stripe, glitter or foil with a black background looks incredible. The combination of these colors gives a cooler and more restrained image. Black color with a silver design cannot be diluted with other shades of the palette. The best combination will come out if you use pink or nude shades.
3. With a matte design: the matte black finish is discreet, which gives you the right to wear this manicure every day. In order for such a manicure not to be boring, you need to add rhinestones, stones, foil, sparkles or glitter. The main thing is not to overdo it!

All of the above options will look great with a peach, hot pink or soft pink dress.

Manicure for a dress

Decorating your nails in a pink outfit should not overshadow the tenderness of the image . The most successful colors:

• plain pastel shades;
• orange-pink;
• black and white or black and pink;
• cold red;
• white;
• chameleon.

Plain blue, green, and purple nails would be inappropriate.

Advice! It is wiser to choose a polish that matches the color of your handbag, scarf, shoes, jewelry, but not your dress. The only thing that should be the same is the texture of the fabric and the texture of the varnish - either gloss or matte.

On long nails you can do a “marble” manicure, use the “gradient” technique, French, design with drawings, patterns, appliqué, acrylic modeling, transparent coating with rhinestones. For short nails, it is recommended to choose a dull, monochromatic polish without additional design.

Grey

Gray color in nail design is one of the new fashion trends. There is a whole palette of shades, ranging from airy pastel gray to deep wet asphalt. A gray shade applied to the nail plate is appropriate in any situation - both for a festive event and for every day. A great option would be to go for a gray metallic manicure. Iridescent glitter will create a feeling of luxury and perfectly emphasize the festive atmosphere.

Light gray color harmonizes well with pink shades. Therefore, such a manicure with a pink dress is considered the most successful combination. A pastel gray color is perfect for a warm nude dress. Such a manicure will fit well into the everyday life of airy and sensitive girls. The created image will be spectacular and intelligent.

The color of wet asphalt, due to the fact that it has a specific shade, requires special attention. Due to its depth, it will go well with the bright, rich pink shade of the dress. This contrast is suitable for girls with a trait of authority and self-confidence. But at the same time, such an image will come out restrained and modest.

If you are wearing a red dress, you will certainly be the center of attention. Thanks to this outfit, even your behavior can change dramatically. You will begin to behave more confidently and at ease. And men will admire you! Sometimes a red dress seems to be a reflection of the inner state of its owner: her confidence in making decisions, inner strength, confidence in her beauty and attractiveness. It also happens the other way around: by wearing a red dress, a woman is simply trying to get rid of the failures that are haunting her. Thus, she seems to say: “I’m starting a new life!”

A red dress can be formal or playful, lace or simple, straight or asymmetrical, short or long. Red is a universal color: it suits both brunettes and blondes perfectly.

A scarlet manicure will harmonize perfectly with such a bright dress. If the dress is complemented by some elements or details, for example, a thin black or golden belt, then you can perform a manicure using two or three colors of varnish, for example, adding gold or sparkles.

Don't do it

Below is a list of manicure options that would look ridiculous under a pink dress or have generally gone out of fashion:

• the color palette is rich in its versatility, but in this case it is better not to use green, blue and purple shades;
• You should not do a bright or poisonous manicure to match a pink or pale pink dress (this applies to any color);
• decorating all your nails in a rainbow style would also be inappropriate;
• mirror design, like neon, has long gone out of fashion;
• It is not recommended to fill absolutely all nails with the design; it is enough to draw a couple of elements on one or simply highlight it with a different shade.

When choosing the perfect look for yourself, you need to take into account not only the dress, but also other components.
