The new Duchess of Westminster opted for soft pink pastel nails

Olivia opted for a short, round, matte baby pink manicure that was subtle but impactful - more than a natural nail, but less than a statement look. 

Cuter, lighter shades of pink are a fashion favourite for this summer, moving away from bold Barbiecore and favouring sweeter, balletcore-approved hues. Plus, on the spring/summer 2024 runway, Mirror Palais sent models down the catwalk sporting captivating and ethereal pearly light pink claws, signifying that this style was a beauty trend to watch for this season.

On the red carpet at the Challengers Paris premiere in April, Zendaya wore a neutral pink shade on her nails similar to Olivia's to complement her white custom Louis Vuitton ensemble, which featured a leather bustier gown that cascaded into a multilayered mousseline skirt, and a matching white leather belt.

Hailey Bieber has toned down her typical loud manicure designs in favour of something more simplistic. The Rhode founder opted for long almond-shaped talons with a layer of a 'barely there' pink hue.

Espresso singer Sabrina Carpenter fronted Skims' April campaign looking every inch a blonde bombshell. She promoted Kim Kardashian's brand's latest collection, accompanied by mid-length almond-shaped candyfloss nails.

"For an eternally versatile nail design, opt for a ballet slipper shade with a soft, square finish," says Hello! Fashion's Orin Carlin, "This look can be adapted in line with your natural skin tone - perfect for minimising the appearance of regrowth in between salon trips."
