Nail Polish Finish for Pink and Blue Nails
While there are different manicure styles, there are also several nail polish finishes.
Say you wanted something muted for your nails. You may opt for a matte or satin polish rather than chrome because the latter is too shiny.
Knowing the difference between the nail polish finishes can give you a better idea of what to use for your pink and blue nails.
We’re here to give you a quick look at those finishes.
| Creme | This is the most common nail polish finish. It has a solid and opaque color with a glossy finish. |
| Matte | It is a smooth, solid finish without any shine. |
| Satin | This finish is similar to matte but with a bit of luster, but it isn’t as shiny as creme. |
| Metallic | This is as shiny as metals and usually comes in gold, silver, bronze, or copper shades. |
| Chrome | It’s similar to metallic but way shinier and more reflective. |
| Sheer | Usually nude or tinted with a bit of pink, this finish gives an almost translucent gloss. It’s perfect for a French manicure. |
| Jelly | This is also translucent but has bright, wet-looking colors. |
| Glitter | This finish is filled with sparkly glitter particles. It can have a clear or solid base. |
| Holographic | It’s a light-reflective finish that gives a rainbow effect when hit by light. |
| Textured | This creates a 3D effect using sparkles or a grainy texture that you can actually touch. |
Because pink and blue nails are versatile, they can work well with any of the types of finishes we’ve mentioned.

This manicure got us craving candies and donuts. Just take a look at those pink nails topped with sprinkles! And as if the look isn’t cute enough, a bright rainbow is painted on a blue accent nail.
8. Freshly Picked
There’s something about this manicure that looks unfinished.
For example, only a part of the flower is seen on the top and bottom corners of the nail. Even the blue and pink polish seem incomplete with only the sides and tips painted.
But somehow, these fragments complete a beautiful, interesting look.

Here’s a nail design for younger manicure lovers. Glitter jelly nails are made more fun with these white retro doodles.

24. Light as a Feather
This is a surprising take on dark blue and pink nails.
Instead of filling the nails or painting the tips with color, the clear nails are spruced up with wispy rays from the corners and on the cuticles.
25. Flower Child
How about floral nails that you can touch? The smooth, short creme blue nails create a beautiful contrast with the embossed petals of pink and blue daisies.
26. Beautiful Harmony
Mix and match things that go well together, like in this nail look. Pink and blue knitted patterns blend beautifully with black dots and grids, as well as silver glitter.

We can’t help but be reminded of the shabby chic wallpapers that became popular in England during the ’80s. These nails feature a satin-finished beige base with intricate blue and pink flower details.
34. Something Blue
Aside from wallpapers, floral designs like this one make us think of London’s famous brand, Cath Kidston. These blue satin gel polish is adorned with white polka dots and a hint of dainty pink roses.
35. Brightly Colored Dessert
Summer is the ideal season to experiment with neon pink and blue nails.
The two satin colors are painted on most of the nails, but there’s an elegant accent nail with swirls in light pink, hot pink, light blue, and gold.
36. Psychedelic Swirls
Swirly lines can be a bit dizzying, but the blend of pink, blue, and white waves in this manicure makes it actually pleasing to the eyes. Use a satin finish and paint the swirls in different directions on oval nails.
37. Head-turning Hyacinth
The easiest way to showcase pink, green, and blue nails is to create a floral design that’s perfect for springtime.
But if you want something new, skip the roses and daisies. Use an equally pretty hyacinth instead.

Are you on the lookout for negative space manicures? Use cute pink and blue details in flowers, dots, swirls, and French tips on a nude base.
39. Trendy and Pretty
When you can’t decide on having fully painted nails, a French manicure, or trendy nail art, don’t be afraid to get them all. With the use of baby pink and Tiffany blue, you’re sure to get a cute, well-balanced look.
