How to do hot pink iridescent nails

If you love pink (and who doesn't?), then why not include a little color in your iridescent manicure? This combination couldn't be simpler. To create this look, you'll use your favorite pink polish as a base coat. (No gel required.) After that, pick an iridescent nail powder to top it with, and you'll have an eye-catching look that will turn heads.

To keep nails looking great for up to two weeks, it's recommended you use a gel top coat to seal in the shine and glamour. For that step, you will need a UV lamp to cure the polish, but the step is well worth the effort and only takes 30 to 40 seconds. Once you're done, you'll have a hot pink iridescent look that will have people wondering how you did it. Ready to get started?
