Most of the time, I wear a pretty safe pinky-nude nail color, but when it gets warm, I like to try a bright coral color. Not a grandma-colored orange (with all due respect to grandmas…), but a true coral – which is flattering to all. Here are three to give a whirl when you feel like making your nails a bit more tropical:

Boldest: SEPHORA by OPI Nail Colour Caliente Coral

While the description calls it an orange-red, it looks more pumpkiny on my screen. Bold now, a little more tame when Fall comes.

 

 

 

 

 

Brave: ‘Tini Beauty Straight Up Nail Lacquer in Mai Tai (This one is Style Chick Courtney approved!)

We love Nailtini colors – and Mai Tai is fruity and fun while still being completely wearable. And don’t worry about chips – my nails grew out before they chipped.

 

 

 

 

 

Tame: Zoya Nail Polish in Willow

If you aren’t completely convinced you are ready to wear coral, try a color like Willow. It’s more of a coral tint to a soft pink. I’m definitely adding this to my list of colors to get for summer. Bonus points for having a subtle silver shimmer!
