From sugary pinks to rich chocolates, here’s how to guide your guests to the perfect manicure this season.
Sweet Shades of Pink
Nothing says romance like a soft, flirty pink. Shades like Passion and Pink Over-slay are playful yet polished, perfect for guests looking for a sweet, feminine vibe. These hues work beautifully for date nights, brunches, or simply adding a touch of fun to everyday looks. Pair them with minimal nail art or let them shine solo for effortless charm.
Romantic Reds
For bold, passionate statements, nothing beats a classic red. Got the Blues for Red and Big Apple Red are perfect for guests ready to embrace romance with confidence. Reds instantly elevate any outfit and make nails a show-stopping detail. From glamorous evenings to casual celebrations, these shades are a Valentine’s must-have for those who love a little drama.
Soft Neutrals

These shades are perfect for clients who want a chic, versatile manicure that pairs well with any outfit or occasion.
Decadent Chocolates
