Cotton Candy Striped
Description of Design:
These playful coffin nails are inspired by classic cotton candy colors, featuring alternating pastel pink and baby blue horizontal stripes across every nail. The clean, evenly spaced bands create a fun graphic look, while the soft candy-colored palette keeps the manicure sweet and feminine.
