This is a palette that works equally well for formal or informal styles, daytime or night-time events.
All of these designs will look great on acrylic, gel, or natural nails.
But there’s more artistry still to be found in the mixing up of these two basic colors to create more than 35 different nail designs you probably haven’t tried – yet.
Classic Pink and Grey Gradient
There are so many ways to do a classic pink-to-grey gradient on your nails, many of which individualize this look through a distinct twist.
There are many shades of pink and grey that you can find at the nail salon.
Let’s begin with the Gradient Technique Study; we’ll look into variations (including some intense techniques)
As well as many different methods, like using a sponge to paint the nail, the smash-and-lightly-stroke technique, and airbrushing.
Do you prefer a quiet, milky pink fading into an intense, sea-glass grey, or a saturated fuchsia melting into a dove grey?
Choosing the right blend of hues will lend your look a particular vibe, from sweetly romantic to super-contemporary and edgy.
Don’t even hesitate to play around with your gradient – purples, purplish blues, purplish greys, grey instead of pink, whatever is your heart’s desire – until you get it just right.
Your nails are your canvas.
The possibilities are endless.
Matte Grey With Pink Accents
Shifting gears: matte grey nails with a delicate touch of pink detailing – a nail art design at once sophisticated and a quintessential burst of color.
Again, all that matters is that your final step is a matte application: use the finest sandpaper you can find.
A set of wet-and-dry polishing papers will work, particularly with a matte finish applied over a final wet coat; alternatively, if you want the model to have a gloss coat on top of everything, use a dry matte and truly smooth surface.
The most common way to do this is to first apply base coat of matte grey polish, then wear down the surface coat to achieve all those marks and imperfections you see in real vehicles.
If you were going for some of the pink accents, think about accent placement.
A single pink nail, a pink tip or some pink dots are simple ideas, but they arise from thinking about the geometry of the nail shape.
The details can be the best part of this look; a simple pink stripe down the middle of a matte grey nail can be just as arresting.
Experiment with different designs to create a look that’s uniquely you.
