It's Official: This Is the Chicest Nail Colour of All Time, and These Looks Confirm It

Whether it’s an elegant burgundy, a classic true red, or a brighter shade of scarlet, I’ve long been a believer that a red nail is by far the chicest nail trend you can opt for. The perfect way to add a pop of colour to a neutral outfit or complement a bold look, red nails especially come into their own throughout the colder months.

Whilst I’m certainly not bored of opting for one-colour nails at the salon, I have to admit that when it comes to my winter nail looks, I’m on the hunt for stylish red nail art designs that are just a little bit more elevated than your classic monochrome manicures. So I have spent the last few weeks saving red nail designs that perfectly strike the balance between boldness and sophistication in preparation for my first winter salon visit. From classy maroon French-tip manicures to playful crimson polka-dot nail designs, there’s something for everyone.

Trust me: these are the chicest red-nail looks around.

Red Nail Design Inspiration

1. Classic Red Nails

Of course, I had to start with a classic glossy red manicure. It's just so chic.

2. Red French-Tip Nails

Red French tips are an easy yet subtle way to add a pop of colour to your nails.

3. Reverse Red French-Tip Nails

But if you're bored with classic French tips, this reverse manicure is sure to make a statement.

4. Glazed-Doughnut Red Nails

I'm obsessed with glazed-doughnut nails at the moment.
