Red is one of those regal colors. Think of a red dress – the moment someone walks in with it, it is a showstopper. Everyone stops to catch a glimpse of the dress.

The same concept can be applied to nails. It is a sophisticated, classic manicure option that you can never go wrong with – because of its versatility, you can wear it to the office, to date nights, and to parties.

Red Nail Designs

Red is an excellent color to use on your nails. This bold and vivid color is stunning and versatile.

Red is a great choice for both minimal nail designs as well as detailed ones. My favorite is red French tip nails. There is nothing more luxurious than a bit of red on French tips.

There are red chrome designs that have been very popular the last few years. If chrome isn’t for you, there are designs, such as cherries, that work well with red nails.

Scroll below for 30+ red nail designs that can be worn throughout the year.

Red Nails

A solid red color is a classic look that will never go out of style. No matter the shape or cut, this color will look good any time of the year.

If a solid red color is not for you, try experimenting with just a touch of red.

Red nails look great with short nails.

Swirl nails have been a popular design with all colors, including red. These are such fun nails.

I love chrome nails. No matter what color, chrome are the perfect statement nails.

Perfect for Valentines or an anniversary.

The velvet-like appearance is so luxe. Great for the holiday season.

Cherries are the perfect Summer or Springtime nail designs.

Imagine walking into a party with these nails.

Floral designs are not just for the Spring. These also work in the cooler months.

For those who want some bling to their manicures.
