Best Red Nail Polishes – Our Top 10
Red was once considered quite a bold shade and not many women would dare to incorporate it in their vanity. Times have changed today and you can see almost everyone sporting red lips and nails. When worn in the right shade suitable on your skin tone, red polish can make a dramatic impression. Dusky skin tones can look good with darker shades of red while fair to medium tones can rock reds with orange undertones. Red nail polish looks very classy and chic. What is best about the colour is that you can easily pair it with any type and colour of outfit without looking out of place. Check out some gorgeous shades of red nail polish below and take a pick of your favorite ones.
Best Red Nail Polish Shades
1. Jordana Red Flash:
Flashy shade, this one is. Red Flash is a clear polish with lots of small and chunky red hexagon glitters. The polish offers very good coverage and three coats give you full opacity or you can pair it with a regular red. Perfect if you want to add something extra to your regular reds.
2. OPI I Am Not Really a Waitress:
I am Not Really a Waitress is a pretty dark red in a metallic finish. It comes from OPI’s Best Of The Best collection and I think it truly belongs there. It might be quite bold for some, but would look wonderful to wear on a night out. Requires two coats.
