Tips for Making Red Fall Nails Last
Deep red and burgundy pigments are notorious for staining, so never skip a good base coat, and seal your manicure with a glossy top coat to keep dark shades looking rich rather than dull. Refresh the top coat every two or three days, wear gloves for washing up and autumn gardening, and keep cuticle oil in your daily routine, because cold weather dries nails out and dry nails chip faster.
From one tiny gold leaf to a full vampy burgundy set, red proves itself the hardest-working colour of the autumn season. Pick your shade, book the appointment, and let your nails match the leaves.
