20 Milky Pastel Nails

We love color nail art and milky pastel nails are perfect if you want color but nothing too bold. These type of nails has a milky white base that allows you to enjoy the airy pigment. Pastels are great for someone who is looking to get attention but remain subtle. When choosing a pastel nail polish I recommend soft tones such as a pink hue, more softer colors.

Pastel colors are great for spring but they are perfect to wear all the time. As suggested by celebrity manicurist Brittney Boyce, they can be worn all year round.
