When is the right time to wear red nail polish? Anytime! But when is the right time to wear gorgeous bright reds, with beautiful orange undertones? Yes! In the summer is the right answer!

I am a red nail polish wearer all-year round. The red I put on my nail varies from bright, watermelon colours during summers to dark, vampy reds with purple undertones for the cold season.

Today I have two nail polishes to show you. Both of them equally loved and worn!

My first choice is from Givenchy! It is called Givenchy Le Vernis Intense Colour Nail Laquer in #06 Carmin Escarpin. It is a warm poppy red, a nail polish with a high-coverage formula and beautiful glossy finish.

In just one application, your nails are done and reveal a mirror-like shine. The color-intense formula spreads evenly and comes in a transparent glass bottle engraved with the 4G’s logo, topped off with a metallic silver and leather-like cap. So classy and chic!

My second proposal is the new revamped Dior Vernis Gel formula. They are called Dior Vernis Gel Shine and Long Wear Nail Lacquer and my favourites are #537 Riviera and #754 Pandore. These two were on my nails all-summer long. 

These are the couture, gel-effect nail lacquers, Dior relaunched this year in April, with an advanced, improved formula that provides glossy, long-wearing shine. The brush applies the ideal amount of polish in a single sweep, allowing for a smooth application, vibrant color intensity, and a perfect finish.

The brush is also perfect for keeping it off your cuticles and minimal swiping. No streaks or bubbles. Looks like a professional done mani. Two coats for perfect coverage, dries quickly. Hides ridges if you have any.

Easy to remove even with gentle nail polish removers this product was not made with harmful ingredients! So it contains NO phthalates, toluene, formaldehyde and synthetic camphor. But it is enriched with organic Silicium, to reinforce the nails and allow a satin-like application.

Hands down my favourite nail polish formula ever!

#537 Riviera is more of a hot, crazy orange coral. Like a chameleon it can look red, it can look orange, it can look pink, it can look coral in different lights. So hard to describe!

#754 Pandore is a bright creamy red, with delicious orange undertones that are not that overpowering! You can see it on my nails here.

Here you have all the swatches!

What are your favourite summer reds?

See you soon, beautiful!
