Collection: Orange Gel Nail Polish

Bright, saturated oranges can be sheerer than a standard creme, so two to three thin coats over a base coat usually give full, even colour. There's no need for a white base first; build the colour in thin layers instead. Softer corals pair naturally with a yellow or red shade if you're building a warm summer set from the wider gel nail colours range.

Getting full, even colour

Keep each coat thin and let it cure fully before adding the next, since orange can show brush strokes more than a darker shade. A well-buffed nail before your base coat helps the colour sit evenly, and sealing with a top coat keeps it chip-free for up to 3 weeks. Coral suits spring and summer, while a deeper burnt orange carries into autumn.
