Pink nails are more than just pretty—they’re empowering, elegant, and endlessly versatile. From soft romantic hues to bold statement shades, pink Shellac nail polish offers something for every personality and occasion. But with so many options, how do you choose the perfect pink that truly flatters your unique skin tone?
In this guide, we break down the best CND Shellac pinks by skin tone, undertone, and occasion—so you can confidently pick your perfect match and shop directly from us, trusted beauty supplier Salon First.
Why Pink Shellac Never Goes Out of Style
CND Shellac is a salon staple thanks to its gel-polish hybrid formula that combines vibrant colour with long-lasting wear. Unlike traditional polish, it cures under an LED light for a chip-free finish that lasts up to 14+ days—with no damage to the natural nail.
Whether you're a nail tech or a beauty enthusiast, investing in the right pink Shellac can elevate your professional services or your at-home routine.

Understanding Undertones: Cool, Warm or Neutral?
Before selecting your perfect pink, determine your skin's undertone:
-
Cool Undertones: Hints of blue, pink, or red. Veins appear blue or purple.
-
Warm Undertones: Golden or peachy hues. Veins appear greenish.
-
Neutral Undertones: A balance of both. Veins look blue-green.
Pro Tip: If silver jewellery suits you best, you're likely cool-toned. If gold flatters you more, you're probably warm-toned.
