I will first start with some inspiration from Instagram:
Hot Pink Flower Nails
The Appearance
This set of nails is a gorgeous hot pink color with a pretty white flower design on both ring fingers. The nails are in a square shape with a length that just sticks over the finger. This makes it much more manageable and allows you to do your daily tasks without any hassles.
This Nail Look is For
A professional boss babe who has a busy schedule but still wants to look presentable.
Why I Like This Look
I love this look because of its short length. Because I spend hours and hours on my laptop, I need a nail length that will not make typing difficult. And this nail look is perfect as it will allow me to type comfortably. I also love the white-added flower design.
Outfits to Pair With This Look
Because this look is so bright, you will want to pair it with outfits with more neutral colors.
Hot Pink Stiletto Nails
The Appearance
So this nail look is quite the opposite of the look mentioned above. It is chic, stylish, and glamorous. On the one hand, the little fingernail is topped with rhinestones to give it that blingy look.
The ring finger and index finger are a plain matt hot pink. And the middle finger has a hot pink french tip with some added rhinestones in the middle. The other hand has the same look, just on different fingernails, and the ring finger is not completely covered with the rhinestones like the little finger’s nail was on the other hand.
The Nail Look is For
Someone who wants to look stylish and stand out. It is a great look for a glamorous event or party. Or maybe even birthday nails. To me, these nails best describe Jeffree Star. If you are in love with glamour and make-up, I’m sure you know who I’m talking about.

Okay, so I must be honest with you guys. I like the color and design of these nails, but the length is too long for me, and I will end up poking my eye out. The other thing is that I will take 3 hours longer just to get my work done because typing will be a nightmare.
