Love in 3D

To achieve a coquette manicure that strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and making a statement, consider using a glazed pink polish. Apply it sheer at the base and opaque at the tips to create a subtle French effect. Then, add 3D accents to a select few nails. The addition of a pink heart, pearls, and an oversized ivory bow will elevate this look to the next level.
