How to get cherry red and milky pink almond nails at home

  1. Prep: push back cuticles, buff the shine off the nail plate and wipe with alcohol so the base coat grips.
  2. Shape: File the sides in a straight line toward the center and round the tip softly, like the top of an almond.
  3. Apply a ridge-filling base coat.
  4. Paint two thin, even coats of cherry red and milky pink.
  5. Finish with a high-gloss top coat, capping the free edge.
  6. Massage in cuticle oil to make the manicure look salon-fresh.

Pro tip: Cap the free edge (run the brush along the tip) with every coat — it stops early chipping.

Cherry red and milky pink glossy nails: FAQ

How do I make my manicure last longer?

Prep the nail (remove oils), use thin coats, cap the tips and reapply top coat every 3–4 days.

Are almond nails strong?

They are stronger than stiletto because the tip is rounded, but the narrow tip is more fragile than square. Medium length with gel or builder gel is the sweet spot.

Does cherry red and milky pink nail polish suit my skin tone?

Blue-based reds and burgundies flatter cool and neutral undertones; on warm or deep skin, choose shades with a brick or brown hint.
