Design Examples
There are a huge number of examples of beautiful manicures using pink and lilac shades. They can be applied solo or in combination with other tones.

If you want more gentle tone, it can be applied to the index and little fingers, leaving the remaining nails purple. A similar option looks its best in a matte texture, especially on long nails.
- Transition. To create this design, you will need five different shades of lavender and pink, which when applied form a kind of transition from one color to another. The little finger can be painted with the darkest, nameless - the tone is slightly lighter, pale purple is applied to the middle finger, and a pastel pink shade is applied to the index finger. The thumbnail should be decorated with either a very light shade of pink, or white, or nude.
- Ombre. Pink-lilac ombre manicure is the most popular version of this combination. A uniform transition from one tone to another looks beautiful and original on the nails. To create this design, you will need two varnishes and a piece of sponge. First of all, the nail is treated with a transparent base, then the sponge is painted in pink and the color of lilac. Lightly pressed movements should transfer the pattern from the sponge to the plate.
- French. The classic French manicure of white and beige combination, although it holds a leading position in the nail design, is still gradually fading into the background. Instead, they now make a color jacket. Lighter pink is applied as a base, and the tip is painted with lavender. You can swap them, make a different option on each finger, add a cuticle hole or a silver border border between two shades.
- Patterns. Beautiful monograms, petals or curls look very interesting on a pink-lilac background.

If you want to make a manicure using only two shades, you can paint all the nails pink, and make light purple patterns.
- Stripes. The design with manicure strips that stick directly to the surface of the nail is very popular this season. Using thin, multi-colored lines, you can create an interesting pattern that will not go unnoticed. They can be glued horizontally, vertically, diagonally. It all depends on the imagination.

In order not to go too far with the radiance, it is recommended to decorate only the ring finger. The rest are painted in lavender, it can be matte. For a more modest option, stretching is perfect. Pink spangles are streaming on the lilac base, and then stretching toward the middle. Sequins can decorate both the tip of the nail and its base, in any case they will be evenly distributed throughout the plate with a thin brush.
