A little inspiration, in detail.
Red changes character with its undertone and finish. A bright cherry shade feels crisp and playful, while a deeper wine color creates a quieter, richer effect. Choose the shade in the light where you will wear it most.
Start with a shape and length you enjoy wearing. Short red nails put the color first; a longer almond silhouette gives more room for a French edge, a subtle gradient, or a small accent. Save references that show the shade as well as the overall outline.
Compare the undertone
An orange-red, a blue-red, and a berry-red can look very different next to the same outfit. Bring a reference for the shade you mean.
Choose the finish
A glossy surface emphasizes the color, while a sheer or jelly finish lets some natural texture show through. Include that detail in your salon brief.
