When it comes to summer nail colors, the first shade I swap in is coral. "Coral" may mean something a little different to everyone—it can range from the classic pink-orange hue to vibrant orange-reds—but you can't convince me that coral nails don't look gorgeous on everyone. Want to show off a summer tan? There's no better shade. Need a mood booster? A bright pop of coral on your hands (or feet) is an instant dopamine fix. Need a manicure to go with outfits for multiple summer soirées? Coral nails go with everything.
No matter which hues your coral manicure leans, they'll make a statement. Ahead, we've rounded up the coral nail looks that you can use as inspo all summer long, and nine of our favorite polishes to get the look at home.
