Collection: Red Nail Polish

Red nail polish from Herome

Red nail polish is as much of a style classic as the little black dress: you can wear it anytime, anywhere. And the biggest advantage: it's timeless. Especially when you consider that a form of red nail polish was already being used long before Christ by women from various tribes around the world. In ancient times, henna, beeswax, and rose petals were often used. The main similarity is that back then it was used to represent ethnicity: red nail polish was only worn by the upper class. How different things are now, where thankfully everyone has access to nail polish, even in various shades of red. Because red nail polish is now seen as stylish, sexy, and elegant. And we all want to be that!

Different shades of red nail polish

Actress and style icon Audrey Hepburn famously said: "There's a shade of red for every woman." And that's true. From burgundy nail polish to coral, from tomato red to ruby, and everything in between. Red glitter nail polish and matte red nail polish are also popular right now. But how do you find out which red nail polish suits you best? The answer is: look at your skin undertone. With a warm undertone—usually dark skin—bright colors look best. You can then look for shades like orange-red. With a cool undertone—usually fair skin—colors like deep red look best. If you have a mixed undertone, you can go wild with any color.

How do you use red nail polish?

The perfect red nail starts with caring for your hands. First, file your nails with a glass file. After filing, apply a base coat. This allows the red nail polish to adhere better to the base coat and prevents the pigment from discoloring your nails. Once it's dry, apply two thin coats of red nail polish in your favorite color. Add a layer of glitter nail polish if you're really feeling party-ready. Finish with a top coat for long-lasting protection against chipping and cracking.
