Timeless red nails
Red nails are the ultimate classic — timeless, elegant and never, ever boring. Just because it’s an easy go-to doesn’t mean it lacks personality, especially when you dial up the drama with a vibrant fire-engine red. This bold shade adds the perfect pop of colour to shorter nails, making a statement without needing length. Pair it with a glossy lacquer and a crisp square shape, and you’ve got a look that’s equal parts polished and powerful.
Soap nails
These ‘squeaky clean’ nails are the ultimate go-to for any nail length and every season. While bold colours and playful designs have their moment, the clean girl aesthetic is here to stay – and for good reason! This trend leans into sheer, creamy, and blush-toned hues that give your nails a fresh, elegant look without trying too hard.
