The Charm of Pastel Nails
Pastels are soft, calming, and effortlessly pretty. From baby pink and lavender to dusty blue or milky peach, these light shades bring a clean, polished look without being too loud. They’re perfect for everyday wear, yet stylish enough for events, meetings, or dates.
Pastels especially shine during the spring and summer seasons — but they’re so versatile, they look good year-round. They’re ideal for clients who want a subtle pop of colour that still feels chic and refined.
Who Should Wear Pastels? (Hint: Everyone)
The beauty of pastels is that they complement all skin tones. Light pinks and lilacs look amazing on fair skin, while pastel peach, mint, and soft lavender glow beautifully on medium to tan complexions.
If you’re unsure where to start, go for a muted pink or a milky nude. These are timeless classics that flatter most people and match almost any outfit.
When to Wear Them (Everyday to Special Days)
Pastel nails are perfect for many occasions:
Daily wear: Soft pinks or nude tones are ideal for work, school, or casual outings.
Weddings: Pastels pair beautifully with soft fabrics and floral themes — perfect for bridesmaids or even brides.
Events & photoshoots: These shades pop just enough to show up on camera without overpowering your overall look.
They’re also great if you’re new to getting your nails done and want something safe yet stylish.
