FAQ

What pink polish looks best on most skin tones?

Sheer nude-pinks and soft pearl pinks are the safest everyday picks. Cool lilac-pinks flatter cooler undertones; coral-pinks favor warmer ones.

Paint or press for pink nail art?

Paint for solids, sheer pinks, and simple French. Press when you want chrome, glitter density, or detailed accents without a long DIY night.

How do I stop sheer pink from looking streaky?

Thin coats only — three sheer layers beat two thick ones. Wait between coats and finish with a glossy top so the pink reads even on camera.

Is hot pink still wearable day-to-day?

Yes on short-to-medium nails. Save long length and heavy glitter for nights out if you want quieter daytime pinks.
