Red has always been associated with power, confidence and class. Thus, it’s only natural that most people turn to this colour when it comes to painting their nails! However, not each red nail polish is created equal. Ahead are 7 incredible formulas that are worth stocking up on.

1. OPI Nail Lacquer In ‘Big Apple Red’

This vibrant red nail paint isn’t for the faint-hearted! The glossy formula will make your tips look chic for over a week, without chipping or flaking. Try it out with oval-shaped nails to get a classic look.

4. Revlon Nail Enamel In ‘Revlon Red’

This cheerful red hue is great at stealing everyone’s attention. The anti-fade technology ensures that your colour stays shiny and true for a long time. I recommend applying 2 coats to maximise the pigmentation.
