An orange for every season
Scorched orange earth nails for autumn
Ochre Orange
Ochre orange tends towards red, evoking the warmth and nostalgia of an Indian summer. Our Indian Summer shade is the perfect pick for autumnal orange nails. An intense, vibrant colour that greatly inspired Yves Saint Laurent, you'll find it on the bottle of Opium perfume for women, first created for the Empress of China and launched in 1977. To find out more about this iconic colour, check out our special Indian Summer article.
Choose our Indian Summer orange polish to give your nails a pop of colour this autumn.
Terracotta Orange
Terracotta orange is a warm, natural colour reminiscent of baked clay. Perfect for the transition into autumn, it's an end-of-summer essential. It will add a touch of sophistication to your manicure and works beautifully with light-coloured outfits.
Opt for terracotta orange if you're looking for a colourful manicure when you get back from holiday.
Brick Orange
Brick orange tends towards brown; it's an intense, deep shade that brings to mind the first leaves of autumn. This colour is ideal for elegant, timeless orange nails as summer draws to a close.
Brick orange polish is an excellent way to transition your manicures gently into autumn.
Intense orange nails to make summer last longer
Reddish Orange
A vibrant shade that sits somewhere between orange and red. Powerful and engaging, this intense coral orange makes a bold statement. It evokes both the colour of starfish in crystal clear waters and the juice of blood oranges enjoyed in the shade of countryside trees: a snippet of summer, which can easily be extended with a pop of Coral Reef on your nails.
Opt for zingy Coral Reef, an orange with red undertones for the ultimate vibrant manicure.
Sunset Orange
Bright and beautiful, this vibrant orange captures the beauty of a summer evening. Pair it with denim or a white dress for a complete summer outfit. Sunset orange nails are an excellent way to prolong summer vibes. We particularly love the colour Sunset, available in Green™ and Green Flash™ format.
A sunset at your fingertips : that's what you get with Sunset, this summer's most coveted nail polish.
Coral Orange
A mix of pink and orange, coral orange is a joyful, dynamic colour. No wonder we called it Bird of Paradise! Perfect for a sunny day out in town or a trip to the seaside, this shade is the ideal colour choice for a vibrant midsummer manicure.
Coral orange is always a spring-summer favourite, as it offers a punchy dopamine hit you won't want to be without.
Pastel orange nails for a touch of springtime softness
Peachy Orange
The softest, sweetest orange polish that reminds us of the fruit we love to eat in summer. Perfect for a light and natural manicure, peachy orange is a great way to add a subtle touch to a smart pastel or wedding outfit. Get the Peach look with our regular Green™ polish and Green Flash™ gel polish.
For peachy keen nails choose Peach, a pastel orange polish with a fruity hue.

Apricot Orange
Fruity but subtle, apricot orange will add a touch of freshness to your manicure. It's the ideal colour from the start of summer to the final sunset, and it has hints of yellow, which are perfect for elevating a summer outfit.

Which polish colours go best with orange in nail art?
Orange polish + metallic polish
Metallic shades like gold, silver and bronze go beautifully with orange nail polish. The end result is a glamorous, sophisticated manicure.
Try a brick orange French manicure over metallic polish for a dazzling autumn nail art effect.
Looking for even more shine? Sprinkle a little Copper glitter on the tip of your French manicure.
Orange polish + sage grey polish
The soothing, natural hue of sage green is the perfect partner for orange-coloured polish. It's the ideal combination for an elegant and balanced autumn look. Apply subtle graphic touches of Sauge green and orange to a matte nude manicure for a minimalist autumn nail art effect.
Orange polish + artichoke green polish
Pairing orange with artichoke green may seem unexpected, but this combination works perfectly for an energetic autumn nail art look.
Choose a green found in nature like Artichaut for your all-over colour, then draw some orange curves using our Nail Art Liner Brush. And that's all there is to it!
