Best Red Nail Polishes – Our Top 10

August 17, 2019 by Neha Mane

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.
