Red also blends beautifully with warm, earthy clay tones—perfect for autumn or late-summer looks. Stylish and bold!
Brique is a red with orange accents that whisks you away to a vibrant souk, filled with colour and spices under the blazing sun.
As summer fades into autumn, Terracotta perfectly captures that moment with its burnt-earth red hue—a touch of warmth and flair for your fingertips. Channeling those Roland Garros vibes!
And Indian Summer invites you on a sensory journey with its ochre red tone, reminiscent of a golden autumn afternoon and falling leaves. Cozy, comforting colour at its best.

Red Patterns So Cute
Add a romantic twist to your red manicure with heart or cherry-shaped designs. These playful patterns are perfect for Valentine’s Day or celebrating the arrival of spring.

Red Glazed Nails
The glazed effect is an unmissable nail trend. For a red version, apply a protective base coat followed by two thin layers of Poppy Red or Red Velvet. Once dry, dust on the Glazed Powder. Brush off the excess and finish with a glossy top coat. Voilà—a pearlescent manicure perfect for festive moments and right on trend.
Red Graphics
If you're into minimal and modern looks, you’ll love mixing abstract shapes and bold shades for a fun, graphic manicure.
Try a “Snake Vibes” nail art: on a translucent or light pink base, use a fine liner brush and Poppy Red to draw a wavy serpent-like line across the nail.
Or remix the classic French with a double red and pink French manicure. Using Red Cherry and Candy (or any pink polish), draw two clean lines at the tip—one red, one pink. A playful twist that works on both short and long nails, this duo-tone French mani is modern, elegant, and totally in style.

Tips for Long-Lasting Red Manicures
To keep your red manicure looking fresh for longer, nail prep is essential. Combine it with smart care steps and you'll enjoy stunning colour for days!
Prep Your Nails Like a Pro
Great nails start with thorough preparation. Start by filing your nails into the shape you want. Soften cuticles with a drop of Effective Emollient, then push them back gently using a wooden stick or a cuticle pusher. Finally, a gentle buff with the Buffer sponge smooths the nail surface for better polish grip.
Use Base & Top Coat
Never skip base coat—it protects your nails and ensures better colour hold. Choose Green™ Base Coat or Vitamin-enriched Green Flash™ Base Coat to nourish and prep the nail.
After applying your red polish, finish with a top coat for a shiny, long-lasting result. Try Sunshine Top Coat or Green Flash™ Top Coat.
Hydration = Duration
Hydrated nails and cuticles resist chipping and breakage. Use Green Oil and/or Perfecting Concentrate to deeply nourish and maintain shine.
Extra Tips That Make All the Difference
💦 Avoid hot water and bumps in the hours following polish application.
🌈 Refresh your mani after 4–5 days with a layer of Colour Refresher.
⛱️ Store your polish away from light to preserve its formula.
Red is more than just a colour—it’s a statement. It draws attention like no other and highlights the natural beauty of your nails. Be bold, explore its many shades, and let yourself be carried away by this iconic hue. Red is always a good idea ❤️💋
