From blushed pinks to fiery reds, these sunset nail colours make a radiant statement

All are featured in a blue, pink and yellow gradient template with orange, peach and pink nail polish spills.

If you're stuck for manicure ideas, you need only look to the evening sky to find a radiant display of both bright and hazy colours, all of which are perfect for summer - and every season thereafter.

It is safe to say that this year's 2025 nail trends have been a mixed bag, spanning everything from sorbet brights to milky pink 'Princess nails.' But as we head into late summer and begin the transition into autumn, we're on the hunt for colours that feel bright and summery, as well as warm and chic. Our solution? Sunset nails. With classic solar nail shades, like reds, butter yellows, and berry pinks having proved so popular this season, an ode to the setting sun feels like the next natural progression. After all, when summer ends, the sun keeps on setting.
