<\/a><\/p>\nPhoto:\u00a0essiepolish on Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Colourblocked purple shades: <\/strong>For the artsy high school rebel who is unafraid of bold and unconventional design, try sporting a colourblocked manicure with a geometric edge. To achieve this look, paint your fingernails with a combination of vivid lilac and violet hues. For an inspired effect, apply Essie\u2019s pale pink-mauve Muchi, Muchi shade and use nail striping tape to create a sectioned-off area on your nail surface. Next, apply Essie\u2019s dark plum Flowerista colour and create another blocked area using nail tape. To finish the look, add a coat of Essie\u2019s light purple Play Date nail polish.<\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0opi_products on Instagram<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Soft peach hues: <\/strong>For the minimalist who is wearing an airy cream-coloured or light blue gown, a peach manicure is a gorgeous touch. This delicate manicure features the new Got Myself into a Jam-balaya colour from OPI\u2019s New Orleans collection, for a pretty peachy-pink shade with a cream finish.<\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0deborahlippmann on Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Pale blue and pink pastels: <\/strong>For the rising trendsetter with a keen eye for colour, try a savvy manicure that combines Pantone Universe\u2019s Serenity and Rose Quartz shades. Whether your prom dress is candy pink or powder blue in colour, matching your nails to the season\u2019s hottest hues is a cool shift away from the classic French mani. This girlish, softly blended nail look includes Deborah Lippmann\u2019s new My Boy Lollipop pastel blue and Candy Girl pastel pink shades.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
