Red Nail Polish

Frequently asked questions

Which red nail polish suits my skin tone?

Blue-based reds like cherry and ruby flatter cool undertones, while orange-leaning reds like tomato and brick complement warm undertones. A classic true red sits in the middle and works on nearly everyone.

What's the difference between cherry, ruby, and brick red?

Cherry is a bright, blue-based red; ruby is deeper and jewel-toned; brick leans earthy with brown-orange warmth. If you want one versatile red, start with a true red and branch out from there.

Is red nail polish too bold for the office?

Not at all - deeper reds and muted bricks read polished and professional. Save the brightest cherries and glitter reds for evenings and weekends if your workplace is conservative.

How do I keep red polish looking fresh longer?

Start with a base coat to prevent staining, cap the free edge of the nail when applying color, and refresh your top coat every two to three days - red shades show tip-wear more than lighter colors.
