Tips for Making Pink and Yellow Nails Last
Neon and pastel yellows are famously prone to fading in sunlight and can look streaky after one coat, so ask for a white base layer underneath to make the colour pop and stay true. Seal everything with a glossy top coat and refresh it every few days, and keep nails away from turmeric, curry spices and new dark denim — pale yellow polish picks up stains faster than almost any other shade.
Whether you lean into neon flames or keep it soft with pastel rainbows, pink and yellow is a combination that never fails to raise a smile. Pick your favourite, book the appointment, and let your nails bring the sunshine.
