The warm weather is bringing bright color trends to your favorite nail salons, and orange in particular is a major trend for Summer 2019. Regardless of your skin tone or tastes, there's a shade of orange to love. According to Eleanor Langston, chief creative officer of Paintbox in New York City, clients are already favoring the color.
"From poppy red to vivid peach, orange undertones signal that Summer's here," she said. In fact, the color is becoming so popular, it's replacing many people's go-to shade. "Corals, peaches, and salmon shades are the modern version of millennial pink and are ultraflattering on all skin tones," she said.
Langston suggests choosing your orange shade according to your skin tone. "If you're fair, try a warm cherry red or even a terracotta color," she said. "Medium and olive complexions would look amazing in salmon, tangerine, or cantaloupe shades." Have a darker complexion? She suggests trying out a milky blush or bright grapefruit polish.
Check out some of the best orange polishes in the shades Langston suggests ahead.
Cherry-Orange
Langston recommends those with fairer complexions try out a cherry-orange like Nails Inc. Nail Polish in Portland Square ($15).
Terracotta
If you have a lighter complexion and want an orange with a '70s twist, try a terracotta shade like Smith & Cult Nail Polish in Tang Bang ($18).
Salmon
Medium skin tones will look great with salmon polishes like Zoya Nail Polish in Elodie ($10) on their fingers and toes.
Tangerine
Olive and medium complexions should try tangerine shades like Essie Summer Trend Nail Polish Collection in Soles On Fire ($9) if they're looking for something bright.
Cantaloupe
Langston also recommends cantaloupe shades like China Glaze Nail Lacquer in I Just Cant-aloupe ($10) for medium skin tones.
Milky Blush
According to Langston, deeper complexions will make warm blush shades like Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Sheer Happiness ($10) really stand out.
Grapefruit
If you have a deeper complexion and want to opt for a bright color, grapefruit shades like Morgan Taylor Professional Nail Lacquer in Manga-Round With Me ($10) are sure to make you happy.
Vivid Peach
Everyone can benefit from a saturated peach color like Butter London Nail Lacquer in Living Coral ($12).
Coral
Langston mentioned she's been seeing coral shades like Dior Vernis Gel Shine and Long Wear Nail Lacquer in Wonderland ($28) at her salon.
