You'll likely spot your go-to polish in the mix, but here's hoping you'll also find a new pink nail color to put on your list. If you love the classics, get ready to be delighted. Here are 15 iconic pink nail shades we'll never stop wearing. OPI Bubble Bath OPI View On Amazon $12 View On Target $12 View On Ulta $12 This creamy pink with candy undertones is an icon for a reason.

Essie Ballet Slippers Essie View On Walmart $10 View On Target $10 View On Ulta $10 Ah, the classic of all classics.

OPI Let's Be Friends Opi View On Amazon $12 View On Target $12 View On Ulta In a world of sheer baby pinks, don't be afraid to go fully opaque with this creamy, full-pigmented pink that favors our favorite OPI shade, Funny Bunny, but with a cotton-candy pink twist. Dior Nail Glow Sephora View On Nordstrom $30 View On Sephora $32 View On Dior.com Think of this like an Instagram filter for your nails.
