Pink is the summer color that brands fail at most often. Print sets render pink as either washed-out salmon or oversaturated bubblegum, depending on the CMYK mix. Real gel pink is harder to mass-produce, which is why hand-painted pink press-on nails read so different on the hand.

Milk pink and cotton candy. They lift the hand without competing with skin.
Will pink fade in sun?
