Pink nail polish will always be a vibe, no matter the season. Why? Because there are countless shades to experiment with — including fuchsia, pastel, bubblegum, neon, and more. So whether you’re into minimal or maximalist manicures, pink is always a good choice.
Manicurist Tom Bachik (who, ICYWW, frequently works with A-listers like Selena Gomez and Camila Cabello) tells Bustle that, for summer 2024 specifically, “cute and sassy” magenta polish is having its main character moment.
Manicurist Rachel Joseph, on the other hand, recommends a metallic finish for major impact.
Think Pink: “Barbie pink was definitely a go-to [last] summer, but as a pink lover myself, I love it year-round. A pink French tip with a full-coverage chrome is so chic.” — Rachel Joseph
