In the past couple of years, the buzzy Aperol Spritz has become more than a drink—it's become a feeling, and I am confident in my statement that it is the summer of the spritz. When we think of an Aperol Spritz, we no longer just think of the bittersweet flavor and bright orange color, but we feel the late summer breeze and see the sunset fading in the distance. In short, the Aperol Spritz is the feeling of summer. If you don't want to wait for happy hour and want to bring the Aperol energy into your day-to-day, check out these nail polishes for creating the perfect spritzy nails.
Aperol Spritz Nail Polishes for an Utterly Delicious Manicure

Aptly named, Olive & June's "I'll Take Another Spritz" represents the color of a perfectly made Aperol Spritz, with just enough red, orange and pink tones. The slight iridescence in the finish calls upon the shimmer of the waves you're *hopefully* gazing on while you sip your beverage.

I like my spritz to be heavier on the Aperol and lighter on the everything else, so I prefer a spritz that is pretty much the exact color as The Manucurist's Coral Reef polish. With a deeper red base, this color is great way to honor the summer drink and upgrade your classic "lucky girl" red nails.

One of the classic garnishes for an Aperol Spritz is a fresh slice of lemon, so pulling from some juicy, citrus-inspired shades like O.P.I.'s Nail Lacquer in Birds Do Not Tweet is an unconventional way to create an spritz-inspired nail look. You can even use the shade as an accent nail with some coral shades to create a well-rounded Aperol Spritz manicure.

If you're on the opposite end of the Aperol flavor spectrum as me and like when your spritz is heavier on the champagne, club soda and, subsequently, lighter on the blood orange coloring, you'll love essie's Don't Be Spotted. A classic orange shade with a little bit of shimmer, this polish is a tried-and-true way to bring out your happy hour manicure.

Okay—hear me out. When you picture a bottle of Aperol in your head what do you see? That bright, blood-orange liqueur, of course, but another staple of the Aperol legeacy is its rich, royal blue label. If you're interested in adding a deeper accent to your spritz nails, painting a finger or two this Chanel blue is a great idea.
