Tips for Making Orange Summer Nails Last
Bright orange polish is famous for fading in strong sun, so ask for a UV-protective glossy top coat and refresh it every few days to keep the colour juicy rather than washed out. Chlorine and sunscreen can dull neon and pastel finishes, so rinse your hands after swimming and reapply a quick-dry top coat before beach days — and keep cuticle oil nearby, because summer heat dries nails out faster than any other season.
From one tiny daisy on a tangerine tip to a full set of tropical neon flames, orange really can do every summer mood. Pick your favourite, book the appointment, and let your nails match the weather.
