What’s Unique about Bubblegum Pink?
Bubblegum pink nails aren't pastel or hot pink--they fall in-between. Remember Bubble Tape or Hubba Bubba? That’s the idea.
Bubblegum pink is that cheery color that takes you back to the carefree days of blowing huge bubbles and giggling when they pop all over your face. It’s been a fashion favorite since the '60s, showing up on everything from miniskirts to mod boots. This fun shade was part of the pastel post-war boom after the dark days of World War II. Subsequently, it comes back in style every so often to remind us to keep things light-hearted.

How is Bubblegum Pink Different from Other Pink Hues?
Let’s explore how each pink shade is exceptionally fabulous:
Bubblegum Pink looks like the bubblegum you’d pop in your mouth. It’s a light, sweet color that’s a tad darker and cooler than baby pink. It’s the kind of pink that’s full of life and perfect for when you want a playful look.
Baby Pink is the soft cuddle of the pink family. It’s lighter than bubblegum pink, falling between pastel and light pink. It’s the quintessential color for all things adorable.
Barbie Pink, named after the iconic doll, is bright and bold. It’s a deeper, more saturated pink that screams confidence. It’s the go-to pink for channeling your inner superstar.
Hot Pink is the wild child of the pink family. This intense, electric pink stands out in a crowd. Hot pink is for those days when you’re feeling fearless and want the world to know.
Magenta is the sophisticated cousin, with a touch of purple for a mysterious vibe.
Each of these pinks has its own personality and charm. But what colors go well with bubblegum pink?
You can easily pair bubblegum pink with other pink shades as they are neighbors on the color wheel. But you can also place pink alongside cool blues, crisp whites, and metallic silvers for extra zing. Also, experiment with unexpected colors like olive green or burnt orange for a standout finish.

Where Did Bubblegum Pink Come From?
Bubblegum wasn’t always pink. The iconic color was a happy accident back in 1928. A fellow experimenting with gum recipes at the Fleer Chewing Gum Company stumbled upon a formula that was perfect for blowing bubbles, but the gum was a dull gray. The only food coloring available was red, which turned the gum pink.
When it comes to famous American bubblegum brands, a few have been delighting our mouths for decades. For example, Dubble Bubble is the OG. This is the classic pink bubblegum mentioned above. Then, there’s Bubble Yum that burst onto the scene in the 1970s. The extra soft texture and intense flavor made it an instant hit.
Next, there’s Bazooka that comes in a small rectangle wrapped in a comic strip featuring the character, Bazooka Joe. It’s like a mini adventure with every chew. Plus, it’s been around forever, since the 1950s! But don’t forget Big League Chew. This shredded bubblegum mimics the look of chewing tobacco pouches and it’s been fueling little league dreams since the 1980s.
Finally, there’s Bubble Tape. Remember those long rolls? Bubble Tape was the ultimate playground accessory. Unroll a foot of pink goodness, share it with friends, and see who could blow the biggest bubble.
