Nail trends come and go but the classic red manicure never goes out of style. A red manicure has many renditions to it- with numerous tones and nail size options available, a red nail polish can be fit for any occasion. The colour was always popular, but the resurgence of this timeless polish has been hugely popular in 2022. And needless to say, it will be one of the most sought after colours this festive season. 

The red nail theory caught a lot of attention on the internet as a lot of women claimed that wearing red nail polish made them feel more attractive and tended to catch the male gaze more easily. Although we all thought that red nails were always a staple for older, more mature women, the manicure has been increasingly growing in popularity with teenagers and young adults.

The appeal of the colour red is undeniable. It is known to symbolise power, passion and confidence. The history of the red manicure dates back to 15BC Egypt when Queen Nefertiti and Cleopatra painted their nails a ruby red colour as an indication of their status and power. To this day, it still speaks to the individuals that love to radiate a classy, chic and high- fashion energy. 

A red manicure can be simple or complex depending on your preferences. As we get ready for the colder months, take a pick of your favourite red hue, decide if you want to go the shimmer route, the jelly route or the metallic route and book a nail appointment asap!
