Bold Red Nails for Summer 2025 Vibes: Stunning Designs & Fresh Ideas
Your nails should be making a statement every summer. When things get hot and the days are bright, try adding a pop of color and nothing says summer quite like a bold red manicure. But we’re not talking about just any red. This season, it’s all about rich cherry tones, deep burgundy wines, fiery scarlets, and playful designs that feel fresh, elevated, and completely wearable no matter your mood or outfit.
Whether you’re sipping iced lattes in your favorite sundress, hitting rooftop parties, or just want your hands to feel polished while scrolling through Pinterest at 2 AM — I’ve gathered the most stunning red nail designs that will make you fall in love with your manicure all over again. Ready to find your next obsession? Let’s dive right into this season’s most irresistible looks.
The Ultimate Summer Seduction: Red French Twist
Let’s discuss this version of the classic French tip. Rather than using white, this makeup look highlights a vibrant red that stands out right away. The base is clean and soft in blush pink and the red tips have been curved to give the nails a modern twist. Because it is soft and bold, it’s ideal for those warm summer nights when your nails can help you flirt. Red is the color that makes everyone feel more confident in the summer.
To create this effect, I’d reach for OPI’s “Big Apple Red” for the tip — it’s the perfect high-gloss red that catches the sunlight beautifully. Essie’s Mademoiselle is a sheer base that still looks polished. Don’t forget to use a high-quality nail art brush to make the subtle curve at the tip which gives this design its charm.
First, file your nails to a soft rounded or square shape and then buff them lightly. First, put on the base coat and then add two layers of the sheer pink. Once fully dry, use a striping brush to carefully curve your red tips, curing each nail under a UV lamp if you’re using gel polish. Seal the manicure with a top coat that gives a shiny finish such as Seche Vite. According to Tom Bachik (yes, J.Lo’s manicurist), “sharp, precise lines make or break modern French designs — so take your time.”
This design is my current obsession because it’s both nostalgic and futuristic. Every time I glance down, it feels like I’m balancing classic Parisian chic with just a hint of Miami heat. If you haven’t quite decided on crimson nails, this summer you can try out red in a softer way.
Cherry Mocha Glamour: The Power of Deep Red
Here’s where we get into serious head-turning territory. The richness of this deep cherry mocha shade gives the nails an almost edible quality — like the darkest red cherries at the farmers’ market. Long and narrow, but with a squared-off tip, the shape radiates luxury as if it came from a Hamptons yacht party.
To recreate this rich hue, I always recommend Chanel Le Vernis in Rouge Noir — it’s iconic for a reason. Pair it with CND Shellac Base Coat for strength and longevity, especially if you’re planning to keep this manicure chip-free through all your summer events.
Creating this look at home takes patience. The first step is to shape your nails into a coffin shape, as you want them to be a bit dramatic. First, use the base coat and then paint the deep red polish, ensuring that each layer is thin to avoid getting streaks. Two coats should deliver full opacity. Finish with a high-gloss top coat. If your nails are covered in gel polish, finish them off by capping the tips to secure the shine.
Whenever I put on a shade like this, people have stopped me on the street to ask about the color. It’s the kind of manicure that doesn’t need accessories — your nails are the accessory. And yes, it photographs like a dream.
Sunkissed Coral for Endless Summer Evenings
Now, let’s add a fresh summer breeze to the atmosphere. This color is closer to coral than to red, making it bright, juicy and giving a healthy beach glow. The medium length makes it useful for everyday wear and it’s so stylish you can wear it straight from brunch to a boat ride without any problems.
I really like Essie’s “Tart Deco” and Olive & June’s “Coral Crush” as colors for this nail look. They both have the right red and orange tones that suit every skin color in the summer.
You only need to file your nails into a square or rounded shape before you start. I always use Orly Bonder as my base coat. After that, apply two coats of coral polish and make sure each layer is completely dry. End your manicure by applying a gel-like top coat such as Sally Hansen Miracle Gel, to make your nails shine like they’ve been done in a salon.
This is my happy place color. I choose this color when my tan is new, I’m wearing sandals and my calendar has a pool party marked. It’s impossible to have a bad day when your nails look like a slice of sunset.
Heartfelt Minimalism: Love Story in Red
This design mixes playful and polished like no other. Most nails feature a bold red and the accent nail is painted soft pink with a little red heart design that looks both personal and fashionable.
I use OPI’s “Coca-Cola Red” for the shiny color and Zoya’s “Dot” is my favorite for the pale pink. A fine-tipped nail art brush or dotting tool will help you make the heart shape.
Start with full prep: file, buff, and base coat. Paint your accent nail with pink and the other nails with red. As soon as the nail polish is dry, paint or stamp a heart shape on your nail using red polish. End the project by applying a steady top coat for a glossy finish. If you’re feeling anxious, stickers can be a great help.
I have created this design for summer weddings, morning brunches and date nights. The design is fun, but not too much and every time I see the little heart, I can’t help smiling. Sometimes it’s the smallest detail that makes the biggest statement.
Classic Scarlet Almonds: Summer’s Power Move
Nothing can compare to a pair of almond-shaped nails painted in scarlet red for summer glamour. The long shape of the nails makes them look graceful and the shiny red polish makes you feel more confident. It’s not trying too hard. It doesn’t need to.
If you want the perfect red, Dior Vernish “999 Rouge” is a true luxury. The brush helps me apply the paint smoothly and the color is perfect. Pair it with Deborah Lippmann’s Gel Lab Pro Top Coat for that endless wet look.
Almond shapes take a bit of practice. Fill the sidewalls first and then move toward the middle, keeping the shape even. After the base coat, put on two layers of red polish and seal the edges to help your nails last longer. Wait until everything is dry before applying the top coat to get a perfect finish.
Whenever I put on this outfit, I feel confident enough to enter any room and take charge. It’s my personal version of wearing a red lip — powerful, elegant, and endlessly appropriate. Even those who edit Vogue have described the almond red manicure as “the ultimate way to add a touch of luxury to your hands.”
High Contrast French with a Warm Peachy Base
This is where soft femininity meets pure statement. The base color of this nail polish is peachy-nude which goes surprisingly well with the almost cranberry red tips. Its square shape adds something special and the color combination makes it easy to use for all your sunny events. Enjoy your time by the pool, have drinks on the roof and take unplanned weekend drives.
I often go for OPI’s “Cajun Shrimp” as the base which looks great in summer and Sally Hansen Miracle Gel “Rhapsody Red” for the tip. Their contrast is striking but still super wearable. Using a striping brush is necessary to get the perfect half-moon shape.
You should first shape your nails into a strong square with rounded edges. After the base coat, paint two layers of the peach color. When the paint is dry, use your striping brush to add red arcs at the ends and finish by coating the whole nail with a thick top coat. Celebrity manicurist Julie Kandalec always recommends letting each layer dry completely to avoid smudges, especially when you’re layering strong contrasts.
It looks as if this design would fit perfectly in a rooftop photo shoot during golden hour. It looks complete, but also fun and people often compliment it, especially when it is accessorized with gold and a tan.
Cat-Eye French: The Unexpected Flirt
We now have a completely new feel — a fun, flirty version of the French manicure. The cherry red tips are sharply curved up at the edges, making them look like little flames on your nails. The pink base makes the outfit elegant, while the bold curves add a lot of character.
Hot Shot from Orly is the perfect option for the vivid tips and Essie’s Ballet Slippers gives you the neutral base. You should use a thin precision brush to help you draw the wing-like swoops.
The hardest part of this design is the swooping curve. Dry your base layers completely before using your brush to add the red swoops which should start a little higher on each side to create the wings. Finish by applying a top coat for a really shiny look. As manicurist Betina Goldstein suggests: “Don’t rush your curve work—those swoops make the drama.”
Whenever I wear this, it turns heads. It’s hard not to smile and feel a little wild because these short, sharp strokes seem to go against the traditional French style.
True Crimson Stilettos for Maximum Impact
Here we are in full high-glam territory. The pointed stiletto shape is the main feature, looking like sharp and long daggers that show confidence. The vibrant, true-red polish just emphasizes that fearless vibe. This is meant to be worn when you want to stand out at every summer event.
For this famous red, Gucci Vernis à Ongles “Goldie Red” is simply ideal. It’s luxury, pigment, and shine all in one. Pair it with a strong builder gel base to give your stilettos extra strength (trust me, you’ll want that durability).
Shaping into stilettos takes both skill and patience. File the nails from the side to the center at a sharp angle, so they all look alike. Paint the base coat, then apply two or three very thin layers of color to get the best result. Finish off your manicure with a top coat that makes your nails shine and I recommend CND Vinylux Top Coat for its long-lasting shine.
When I wear stilettos like these, I feel unstoppable. They have the same glamour and risk as stiletto heels in the world of nails. The purpose of these is to stand out and take charge, not to fit in with the crowd.
Modern Abstract: The Summer Art Moment
Here’s where art truly meets beauty. The nails are painted solid crimson, while the accent nails feature swirling abstract designs which highlight movement and texture. The oval design makes the glasses less dramatic, so they are easy to wear and still look like something from the runway.
Lights Lacquer “Cherry Jelly” is used for the base and Olive & June “CCT” is applied on top to give the design a creamy pink look. A fine liner pen or a brush designed for nail art will make it easier to draw the abstract waves.
The basic steps are applying your base coat, then two coats of pink on your accent nails and bold red on the rest. After your manicure is dry, take your liner and swirl red polish into organic shapes over the pink. The most important thing is to let your brush move freely without thinking too much. Finish with a plumping top coat to add dimension.
Every time I’ve done a version of this, someone has said, “That looks like nail art from Instagram!” — and that’s exactly the vibe. Playful, creative, and full of summer 2025 energy.
Garnet Elegance: The Sophisticated Power Move
Let’s close this series with something that whispers luxury. This shade on almond-shaped nails makes nails feel both comfortable and classy, so it’s perfect for late-summer evenings, parties on the water at sunset or nights with wine and string lights. The color is bold, but it has a cool-girl touch of restraint.
To achieve this rich tone, Smith & Cult’s “Lovers Creep” is a great choice. It delivers depth without ever looking black or flat. Apply Butter London’s “Horse Power” base coat to strengthen your nails before you apply the polish.
File your nails gently toward the middle to create the rounded and elongated shape. After the base coat, add two layers of polish and seal the free edge to make your nails last. Finish everything off with a gel-finish top coat to keep your nails shiny for a long time.
This is my “I mean business, but make it chic” manicure. A nail that is perfect for holding a glass of rosé and for typing on my laptop. It’s timeless, powerful, and truly embodies bold red nails for summer 2025 vibes.
Everyday Red Almond: Effortless Elegance on Repeat
Some nail designs are so great that they don’t require much to look perfect. This almond-shaped manicure in pure vibrant red is the definition of “less is more.” The mirror-like finish makes it shine and the shape still manages to look smart while being easy to wear for any summer event.
I personally swear by Essie’s “Forever Yummy” for this vibe. It’s that perfect mid-toned red that never feels too orange or too dark — universally flattering and always chic. For the best effect, OPI Nail Envy as a base coat will strengthen your nails and keep them protected under the polish.
Just shape your nails, apply the base coat and follow with two thin layers of color. Make sure the layers have dried before adding another to prevent bubbles. Finish your nails with a top coat to make them shine as if you had them done in a salon. Elle Gerstein, a well-known celebrity manicurist, says, “Almond nails make your fingers appear longer and lifted.”
This is honestly my personal “safe zone” for summer. You can’t go wrong — it works with every outfit, every vibe, and looks incredible under natural sunlight. Plus, it’s impossible not to admire your hands all day long.
Starlit Playfulness: Summer Nails with Personality
Now, we can really enjoy summer with this design. Using deep burgundy solids, pale pink bases and bold red stars results in a design that is both retro and modern. Using different shapes and colors makes it feel young, but it’s still appropriate for adult events.
Therefore, I apply Zoya’s “Sam” for the burgundy, Essie’s “Muchi Muchi” for the light pink and add some bright red star decals or stencils to finish it off. You can get nail vinyls online to make the process simpler.
The trick is balancing both designs on alternating nails. Start with full prep and base coat. Put down your base colors, let them dry and then carefully stick your star decals to avoid ruining them. Finish off with a thick layer of top coat to make the layers even and secure them.
It has a classic Americana feel, but it’s been updated for the coming summer. When I wear this watch, people seem to try and take pictures of my hands because it’s so attractive.
Minimal White & Tiny Hearts: Soft Romance for Warm Days
Who decided that summer 2025 nails have to be just red? The creamy white base decorated with small red hearts gives a gentler and more fun look. It’s sweet, romantic and can be enjoyed in many ways, whether at the beach or a summer bridal shower.
If you want a perfect creamy base, OPI “Funny Bunny” is the way to go. You can paint the hearts with OPI “Big Apple Red” or use tiny heart-shaped stickers to make them look perfect.
Put down the base coat, then apply two coats of white. After the paint is dry, carefully put the hearts in place using a dotting tool or stickers. Seal it all in with a top coat. Nail artist Sarah Bland recommends “letting negative space and micro-designs breathe to elevate nail art into something more chic.”
This set always feels like summer romance to me. Like the ideal mix of soft and feminine style, but with a hint of character that makes them different from everyone else.
Velvety Depth: The Garnet Chrome Effect
Here we’re adding a touch of moodiness, but the look is still very much in the bold red nails for summer 2025 style. The garnet base and chrome shimmer effect make this nail design look almost magical. The light hits these nails differently depending on your angle, creating an almost velvet finish that’s hypnotizing.
Cirque Colors “Velvet Underground” or ILNP “Bloodline” are the perfect picks for this look because they give your nails that velvet look. To make the reflective center, you should use fine chrome pigment powder.
The first step is to paint two layers of the garnet base color. Before the second coat fully dries (if using gel), gently press the chrome powder onto the center line using an eyeshadow applicator or silicone tool. Finish the process by adding a top coat that doesn’t need to be wiped off. The main point is to use chrome in moderation so it doesn’t take away from the rich base.
I like to twirl my hands under the light when I wear this set to see the sparkle dance. It’s mesmerizing — like carrying a little bit of summer starlight with you.
Bold Heart Tips: Summer’s Most Playful Twist
This style seems to be the ideal ending to the summer season. Instead of the usual French manicure, the red polish forms big heart shapes at the end of each nail. It’s lighthearted, new and surprisingly easy to wear, as if Valentine’s Day were updated for summer.
Olive & June’s “CV” gives a bright, slightly pink-tinted red and Zoya’s “Laurie” provides a sheer base that lets the hearts appear lovely above.
Prep your nails with a neutral base coat. After that, use a detail brush to make two symmetrical heart curves starting from the sides of the nail tip. Lastly, apply a glossy top coat to make the paint shine. Britney Tokyo, an expert in nails, recommends that you relax your wrist when drawing curves, since tension will affect the shape.
This design never fails to make people smile. It’s flirty without trying too hard and somehow feels both youthful and sophisticated — exactly the sweet spot for summer 2025.
Deep Burgundy Drama: The Moody Summer Statement
This collection brings out the darker shades of red nails for summer 2025 and I think that’s great. It works like a charm. The deep burgundy color has a mysterious, almost vampire-like look that looks surprisingly fresh against skin that’s been in the sun. Its almond shape gives it a touch of class, not too intense, like enjoying a glass of red wine at a late-summer party with fairy lights.
I love this color so much because OPI “Malaga Wine” is so velvety and rich. The color looks great with both warm and cool undertones. I usually finish my manicure with Essie’s “Gel Couture Top Coat” to achieve a really shiny and smooth effect.
You can easily wear this design at home: make your nails almond-shaped, use a base coat, paint two thin layers of color and finish with a top coat. What I love most? You can wear this shade with jeans during the day or with a satin dress in the evening. It’s my secret weapon when I need effortless sophistication.
High Art in Maroon: The Ultimate Designer Nail Set
Here’s where nail art becomes wearable couture. Burgundy French tips, abstract marble designs, soft ombré fades and reptile-inspired finishes, all highlighted with gold metallic highlights. This set feels expensive, complex, but still summery.
You should use the Beetles Gel Polish Burgundy Set, Born Pretty Nail Art Gel Liners for the marble part and Gold Foil Flakes for the metallic touches to get this look. A fine detail brush is your best friend here.
The process takes patience. Start with each base — alternating nudes and maroons. After that, start with marbling, add some foil accents and finish with a top coat. Mei Kawajiri always reminds us that each nail should be treated like a canvas and you should build your design step by step.
It gives your hands a designer look. I have worn something similar to these events and every person wanted to know where I had my nails done. It’s basically wearable luxury.
Retro Red Stars: The Playful Pop-Art Vibe
This design has serious summer-festival energy. The soft, retro background is created by the semi-sheer white tips and the red stars stand out. It has a bit of a vintage touch and a Y2K vibe and it’s just right for any outdoor concert or pool party with friends.
For the milky tip, I’d apply OPI “Alpine Snow” that’s been thinned out and Color Club’s “Red-Handed” is the perfect choice for the stars. Stamping plates or nail decals are good options for drawing precise lines with the stars.
First, put on your base, then swipe on the milky white tips and once they are dry, put your star decals on. Finish the manicure by applying a top coat that plumps the nails. According to Miss Pop, modern star art looks best when it’s symmetrical and the design has some space between each star.
This outfit is perfect for taking pictures and makes me feel like a pop star for a day.
Classic Crimson Ovals: Universally Stunning
This is the easiest yet sometimes most impressive way to wear bold red nails this summer. A timeless look is created when classic crimson is worn on perfectly round sunglasses and it suits every person and every summer event.
For this, Dior’s “999 Rouge” is the gold standard. Because of its strong color and shiny finish, every hand is instantly made to look neat and clean. I finish it off with OPI Infinite Shine ProStay Top Coat so the color stays put and chips are prevented.
Because it is oval, it looks feminine but not as dramatic as stilettos. Shape the nail edge in soft curves and be sure to keep the cuticle area clean. Be careful when applying base, color and topcoat to prevent cuticle flooding, as that neat edge is very important.
This is my “I can’t decide what to wear, but I know my nails are flawless” shade. It’s never out of place and always feels confident. It’s your beauty power suit — on your fingertips.
Red Marble Flames: Fiery Summer Swirls
Finally, we land on this showstopper. The flames on the nails appear to be dancing in the bright patterns. It’s a bold, fiery and mesmerizing color that screams summer 2025. This look feels perfect for summer nights when you’re ready to own every room you walk into.
Using Lights Lacquer’s “Cherry Jelly” and Madam Glam’s “White Lace” together helps you make strong contrast swirls. A good nail art liner brush is necessary to draw the curves by hand.
Put on the red base, let it dry and then add little drops of white polish while the next red layer is still damp. With your brush, draw and swirl the colors into ribbons that look like flames. Finish with top coat once you’re satisfied with the movement of the design. Nail artist Chaun Legend often shares that “movement and spontaneity in marble designs give them that organic, high-fashion edge.”
Whenever I put on a design like this, I get people talking about it everywhere I go, including at brunch, on the beach and while shopping. It’s hard to miss how lively and vibrant your nails look.
Vampy Almond Perfection: The Dark Siren Look
This set of bold red nails for summer 2025 is a symbol of pure dark romance. Almond nails are still flattering and feminine and the nearly-black burgundy color gives them a shiny, movie-like depth. It has a retro feel, mixes high fashion and looks amazing when the sun shines on it.
For this color, I usually go for Essie “Wicked” or Gucci “Crystal Black Cherry”. Both have that sophisticated oxblood vibe. Using a base coat such as OPI Ridge Filler will help your nails stay even and free from bumps.
Put on your almond base first, then add two very thin layers of your vampy color. Give each layer plenty of time to dry so that streaks do not appear. Add a strong top gel coat to get a glossy finish that appears wet. According to nail tech Julie Kandalec, you need to make sure your nails are perfect before using a dark polish.
No matter what, this tone instantly makes me feel ready for any occasion, whether it’s a party on the roof or a small gathering. It’s luxurious but never overdone.
Ruby Coffin Glam: Elevated Simplicity
Coffin-shaped nails with a polished ruby red finish? Yes, please. This look brings boldness without needing extra embellishment. The deep red color is lively for summer days and still looks mature. This outfit looks especially fashionable when teamed with denim and diamonds.
I really like “Royal Red” from DND paints because it is both lively and never becomes too much. I always rely on CND Shellac Top Coat to get that smooth and shiny look that lasts.
Start by shaping the nails into sharp coffin tips. To make your nails stronger, use a base coat, apply two layers of color and seal the edges. A steady hand helps you clean and sharpen the sidewalls.
I always feel at my best with this manicure, looking polished, confident and stylish at any summer event.
Fresh Tomato Almonds: The Juicy Summer Pop
This nail color is exactly what summer looks like in a bottle. Tomato red in color with a warm tone that matches every skin type and makes hands look instantly darker. The shape of the almond ensures the style stays wearable and looks youthful.
If you want this tone, Olive & June “Hot Strawberry” is the right one for you. For a stronger hold and longer wear, put on Orly Bonder Base Coat first.
The key here is smooth layers. Make sure your nails are clean, use two thin layers of nail polish and end with a gel-like top coat. According to celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann, a perfect red polish can be like a sparkling piece of jewelry.
I keep finding myself drawn to this color each year. It’s bold, playful, and has that can’t-help-but-smile energy we all crave when the weather heats up.
Playful Minimalism: The Accent Heart Look
Sometimes, one tiny detail can make a huge impact. You can make this classic red manicure more special by adding just one white heart nail. It’s just right for anyone looking for a simple, romantic and attractive place for a date, a weekend coffee or just to be a little flirty.
I prefer to use OPI’s “Coca-Cola Red” nail polish which is shiny, bright and a classic shade. For your nails, Kiss Nail Art Paint in White makes it simple and accurate to draw on the heart.
First, put on the base coat, then cover the nails twice with the red and finish with a dot of red using a dotting tool or fine brush. Use a top coat to make the design look smoother. Nail artist Hang Nguyen recommends: “A single heart on one finger is the kind of chic that never tries too hard.”
Every time I wear this piece, I get compliments and that’s why I always love wearing it.
Velvet Matte Wine: Quiet Luxury in Nail Form
If you want something a little more mysterious for summer 2025, go for a matte red nail finish. This dark burgundy fabric, with its soft velvet, looks modern, chic and a bit mysterious, much like a summer dinner party lit by fairy lights.
I think ILNP “Mon Amour” works best with OPI Matte Top Coat for a rich matte look. You get a soft and luxurious feel, even though the color of the paint is still visible.
It’s basically the same as a classic manicure: start with prep, then a base coat, two layers of color and finish with the matte top. Make sure the paint on your color layers has dried completely before applying the matte finish to avoid making them cloudy.
Whenever I put on this color, I feel like I’m in a fashion advertisement. It’s a kind of luxury that’s quiet, found in a bottle of nail polish and always fashionable.
Short & Sophisticated: The Minimalist Cherry
This is where short nails absolutely steal the spotlight. The cherry color and the round, short form give a feeling of subtle luxury. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to embrace bold red nails for summer 2025 vibes without committing to long lengths. These are the kind of nails that whisper confidence.
I usually choose Chanel Le Vernis “Rouge Noir” for this rich color. It’s timeless, elegant, and flatters every skin tone. Before you paint your nails, use Deborah Lippmann’s Smooth Operator as a base coat to make the surface flawless.
Just file the nails, apply a soft round, put on your base coat, two coats of color and finish with a high-gloss top coat. As celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik says, “Short red nails are like the perfect lipstick — classic, bold, and always in style.”
Wearing short red nails always makes me feel neat and ready for anything, even when I’m in casual clothes. They require little effort but always make you look smart and ready for anything.
Rich Garnet Almonds: The Jewelry-Inspired Look
This shape of garnet almond jewelry looks like pure jewelry on your hands. The color is rich and has a gentle wine-like tone, representing both sunset and dinner under the moon. It’s a subdued, classy look for those who want to embrace the summer 2025 trend.
This is exactly the vibe I think of when I think of Smith & Cult “Lovers Creep.” Its formula delivers full pigment with stunning depth. I polish off the nails with Essie Gel Couture Top Coat to make the nails extra shiny and jewelry-like.
Make your nails look like almonds, paint them in thin layers and finish by capping the tips for more protection. It’s as if you are wearing garnet rings on your hands, giving you a quiet and powerful feeling.
When I wear this, I feel elegant and expensive. It makes regular outfits look special, like the comfort of your favorite cashmere sweater.
Cherry Stiletto Drama: All Eyes On You
Here’s where we fully lean into bold. The stiletto design makes fingers look longer and the cherry color almost seems to shine in the summer light. These nails are bright red and meant for those who love summer 2025 trends, with a strong and noticeable look.
When it comes to the electric cherry, OPI “Big Apple Red” is a true legend. Its tone is energetic without feeling garish. A good builder gel will provide the stilettos with support and ensure they last.
Trim your nails into sharp points, put on base coat, two thin layers of red and finish with a gel top coat. As nail pro Britney Tokyo says, “Stilettos give your hands instant attitude — they’re wearable confidence.”
Whenever I wear such bold colors, people I don’t know often compliment my nails. It’s like wearing heels on your fingertips — you instantly feel taller, stronger, and bolder.
Classic Tomato Almonds: The Cool-Girl Essential
The design gives off a model-off-duty look which is simple but hard to miss. The combination of tomato red and almond-shaped nails looks trendy, playful and can be worn all the time. It’s summer-ready without screaming for attention.
Olive & June “Cherry Crush” is a shade that matches any skin tone and gives a beautiful, slightly coral-red color. When you use Orly Bonder Base Coat, your manicure will last as long as if you were at the salon.
Form the nail into an almond shape, put on your base coat, add two layers of color and finish with a gel-like topcoat. The result? Chic, clean, and effortlessly cool.
I choose this recipe when I want something lively, yet it can be served with many different foods. It works great for both sunny days and evenings out — just as your favorite little red dress for your hands.
