21 Red Nail Designs To Try

Red. The colour of fire, love and dare we say it too soon, Christmas. There’s no problem a red mani can’t solve and we guarantee that it will be a shade you will never get sick of, or stop being asked for with your clients.

Red can be used in a subtle way with small details like tips or cuffs or mini motifs (hello hearts, we’re talking about you), or used to take centre stage with a more bold design. From bright fire truck red to cherry-cola burgundy, there are no limits when it comes to red, and we’re here to provide the proof.

We’ve done some searching and compiled our fave red designs, from both our Nail Tech Org community, and the rest of Instagram, to bring to you the ultimate collection of red designs.

So sit back, relax and start scrolling to discover 21 red nail designs that we know you’re going to love.
