When it comes to nail designs, we don’t look away from some of the trendiest on the block. We’re talking blush nails, the charming yet most minimalist nail look, to emerge. In addition to being a feminine way to add color to your nails, wearing blush-toned nails is a way to celebrate the 2023 Pantone Color of the Year, Viva Magenta (a shade rooted in nature, descending from the red family that is deep pinkish, light purplish, and generally repping the “blushy” side of things).
We may no longer be in Valentine’s season when all things pink and red dominate the nail space, but with many of our faves sporting the pink color on the runways, the Barbie core trend going stronger by the day even as we await Greta Gerwig’s upcoming film ‘Barbie’, we are all witnessing a sparking clear reinterest in blush-tones—just about the right time to jump on the blush shade for nail designs.
The blush nail tones simulate a facial blush by typically filling the center of the nail bed with a rosy pink or magenta color. Blush-toned nails discreetly give your nails a healthy, glowing appearance, similar to the glazed donut nail trend. It is thought to have begun in Korea, where the natural, youthful cosmetics appearance, accentuated with blush, was practically ported over to the nails. If you want to try this inverted blush trend on your nails but are stuck for ideas, you’re in luck because we have some suggestions ahead.
Dreamy Almond Blush Nails
The blush tones’ delicate, muted pink or beige tint is very elegant and subtle, and it matches well with the natural shape of almond nails.
A Pop of Green
Blush shades are literally a thing of choice. So, you can feature a pastel green blush on your nails instead of the regular pink undertones. It works especially when you want to try something refreshing.
Minimalistic Aura of Art
The jelly nature of these nails combines naturally with hand-drawn patterns, to create the perfect minimalist nail look for your spring holidays.
Rhinestone Embellishments
You can’t go wrong with featuring rhinestones on your almond-shaped pastel blush nails. It’s just one of the most ethereal nail combos ever.
Strawberry Blush
If you love the taste of strawberries, you’d love this creamy combination of blush pink and red. Be careful though, you’d almost want to eat your nails.
All Shades of Pink
Yes, you can have everything— all pink shades — in just one trip to the nail salon. This same manicure look may be achieved with a protea pink tint, pink powder, an incredibly sparkly top lacquer, and some whirly lines.
Spring-Inspired
Floral nails as you can see in the photo may be worn all year round, but warm weather seasons like Spring and Summer make them look extra vibrant and youthful.
Bling Acrylic
When applied alone, neutral blush colors on acrylic nails are quite understated and don’t catch much notice. But if you want to switch up the nail look, you could choose to add some glittering ‘bling’ accents.
Short Almonds
If you’re looking for a distinctive yet simple nail idea, especially if you work on your computer all day or do things that demand your fingers on a regular basis, then check out these featured short almond nails. These pink nails include creamy accents that are just as cute as ombré.
Blushed And Beige Combo
This nail design is as simplistic as a blushed nail can be. With a soft mix of pale pink and beige, you can have a dreamy nail combo for a great girls’ time, outside.
Air-Brushed Glass Nails
The seductive see-through appeal of these nails comes from their translucent air-brushed, blush design and their almond-shaped tips. The nail design is as clear as ever although subtly paired with some silver glitters.
Ice-Breaker Hearts
Heart dots are a popular nail art design and sweetheart accent that is incredibly contemporary, lively, and festive — a fantastic icebreaker in between an all-blushed ombre nail. You’d quickly become obsessed.
Classic Jelly Nails + Tiny Stars
Your blush nails can have a dab of the classic ink undertones right in the middle of your nail with a clear jelly-like texture with sprinkles of your favorite star designs. They are a perfect treat for summer.
