X Dark Red Nail Shades Manicurists Love
Faye Louise Dennis
“This shade is a sultry, moody, deep garnet red. It’s inspired by the gemstone and Bio Sculpture’s gel formula gives a really expensive-looking finish – perfect for autumn and winter.”

“One of my most-requested shades is from Kinetics. ‘Cherry Ripe’ is rich, with wine-like undertones – it feels very grown-up. It gives a manicure real warmth and depth.”

“This older OPI colour is the perfect transitional shade. Being quite fair, it can sometimes be a struggle to find deeper burgundy shades that work with my skin tone but the brown and purple undertones make this incredibly flattering.”

“'Rouge Noir’ by Chanel is a classic. It has that deep, vampy red tone that looks good in any light and works beautifully on every skin tone. I love its smooth, glass finish.”

“I love the depth of Glossify’s ‘Atelier’ – the pigment is exceptional. The warm undertones also lean into the chocolate brown trend. ‘Cabaret’ by TheGelBottle is also a fun festive red. I love the dimension that the magnetic effect creates.”

“‘Billie’ is such an elegant choice. Nails.INC’s four-in-one formula is brilliant because you get rich, intense colour pay-off without the fuss of multiple layers. The wide-hugging brush makes application easy – plus, the gel-like finish lasts up to eight days.”

“‘Grenat’ is a little bit unusual because there are brown tones in there. I like to use it as a French tip on clients who want something different.”

“Clients often ask for this dark cherry-black shade. It has an ultra-high shine finish and incredible depth of colour. At first glance, you may perceive it as black but its subtle red undertones shine through, making it universally flattering across all skin tones.”

“If you’re taking a break from gels, you will love this shade from Essie. It’s a deep red with quite a bit of purple in there. It looks great on all skin tones – plus, the brush makes application a doddle. Used with Essie’s Gel Top Coat, you’ll get a nice, plump finish that mimics the look of gels and BIAB.”
