Final thoughts and shade matching tips:

That’s it, you have made it to the end of this epic list – congratulations!

You’re eyeballs have now absorbed over 70 stunningly creative pink and purple nail designs, can you believe it?

There are so many different shades of purple and pink to choose from, that the possibilities for purple and pink manicures are literally endless.

So which ones caught your fancy? Personally, right now I’m feeling summer vibes so I’m all about the neon brights.

But maybe pastels or candy colors are more your thing…

I have a few ideas for shade matching that i’d like to shade with you before you go.

First – try to keep the shades similar. So if you’re using a pastel pink, pair it with a pastel purple for instance.

Neon pink or hot pink pairs best with neon or bright purple shades.

Think about the quality of the colors you’re going to combine.

Are they both the same? Like colors always pair best together.

So combine soft colors, muted colors or bold colors for a stunning effect.

Are you bubbling with ideas now? I hope so.

So, will you copy a design you’ve seen here directly?

Or perhaps you’ll mix elements of 2 or 3 different designs from this post to create your own awesome nail art design.

If you made it to the end of this list, I hope that you’re feeling inspired for your next pink and purple manicure.

Whether that’s pink and purple ombre, pink and purple acrylic nails, or pink and purple glitter nails.

Armed with this inspo, you should be able to create your next gorgeous mani at home or get them done at the salon.

Good luck!
