Tomato-red nails are a stylish and juicy twist on this classic manicure for summer

For a manicure that captures the feeling of dining al-fresco somewhere along the Amalfi Coast, tomato-red is the nail colour to request.

Though there are plenty of subtle shades to be found on the list of 2026 nail trends, with summer incoming, those classic brights are beginning to make their radiant return. And this juicy hue, in particular, is proving very popular indeed. With more of an orangey tinge compared to that of a rich cherry-red, tomato nails boast a certain sun-soaked quality. Like its namesake, this hue is juicy - especially when layered under a glossy top coat - and simply perfect for an easy-going but effortlessly chic summer manicure.
