The design is a mix-and-match dream in a gorgeous palette of hot pink, a creamy white, and a soft lavender. We’ve got a classic French tip on the index finger, but with a fun, unexpected twist: the tips are a solid white! The middle and ring fingers are where the party’s at, with a solid hot pink base covered in adorable hand-painted lavender and white hearts. It’s giving me total Y2K-meets-modern-chic. The pinky finger has a similar vibe with a big, bold lavender heart at the base.

This is such a killer twist on a classic! 💜 We’ve got short, chic oval nails rocking a super clean and modern look. The base is a beautiful sheer, natural pink, which is so elegant and lets the design really pop.

The star of the show is definitely the French tip, but it’s not your grandma’s French tip! This is a modern, playful version with a soft, heart-shaped or wavy curve instead of a straight line. The color is a dreamy, light lilac, which is just the prettiest shade. It’s a subtle nod to romance without being too over-the-top, giving this mani a really sophisticated yet flirty feel.

This design is a total vibe for anyone who loves a clean, minimalist look but wants to add a little something extra. It’s perfect for literally any occasion, from a casual coffee run to a fancy dinner. It’s proof that a small detail can make a huge impact. So simple, so chic, so good!

22. Lilac hearts with silver lining

Oh, this is a super sweet and delicate take on the purple heart theme! We’re looking at a set of medium-length, neatly manicured nails with a lovely, soft aesthetic.

The base is a sheer, milky white or very pale pink, giving a clean and ethereal canvas. And then, the magic happens: each nail features a tiny, perfectly formed purple heart, nestled right at the base near the cuticle. It’s subtle, it’s chic, and it’s utterly charming – a whisper of love on every fingertip!
