Red nails: why they never go out of style

Colours come and go, but red nails never fail. It's a classic that spans decades and remains synonymous with elegance. Here's why red nails are always a good idea.

A timeless classic

Red conveys confidence, elegance and energy. It pairs with any look, from the most casual to the most formal, and flatters every skin tone.

Find your red

  • Cherry red: vibrant and luminous, ideal for fair skin.
  • Classic red: the all-time favourite, universally flattering.
  • Wine or burgundy red: deeper, elegant for autumn and winter.
  • Coral red: with an orange hint, perfect for summer.

Tip for a perfect red

Red highlights every imperfection, so apply in thin coats and use a base coat to prevent staining. Seal with a top coat for salon-worthy shine.
