Switching up your mani is one of the easiest ways to refresh your beauty look. Whether you’re loyal to glazed donut nails, a maximalist with an affinity for 3D nail charms, or somewhere in between, there’s always a new way to change up your nails. And while we love trends as much as the next person, there’s something sweet about sticking to the classics. Case in point: pastel nail polish.

From simple French manis and minimalistic nail designs to groovy swirl patterns and ombré tips, there’s a look for every aesthetic.
