Pink nail color is a sweet look for prom and of course naturally complements a dress in the most popular color for prom: pink. But if your dress is a pale pink, you may look better with a darker pink nail polish.

Pink is also a great option with a red prom dress, or if you like high contrast, a black gown.

Frosted pink nail polish is recommended for junior prom and matte pink is generally better suited for senior prom (if you think it may look too "prissy" when you're an older teen).
