More than one way to wear a bow
A bow can be the star of a manicure or a tiny accent that adds softness to an otherwise simple set. The ideas below explore different ways to pair bows with French tips, florals, pearls, chrome and richer seasonal tones.
Pink polka-dot bow
Mix a sweet bow detail with soft dots and lace-inspired touches for a playful romantic finish.
Burgundy bow
A deeper bow-inspired look makes the manicure feel richer and more dramatic for autumn.
Pink chrome and gold
A glossy pink base with metallic detail creates a dressier setting for a tiny bow accent.
Pearl and floral bow pairing
Pearls and soft florals complement bow details when you want a more decorative manicure.
Soft pink floral bow
A blush-and-floral palette keeps the overall look delicate and feminine.
Midnight blue bow accent
A deep blue finish gives a bow detail a cooler, more striking direction while keeping the look elegant.
White pearl elegance
A luminous white finish pairs beautifully with small bow details for a bridal-inspired look.
Style tip: If you want the bow to remain the focal point, keep the base soft and let one or two nails carry the extra detail.
