Its literally the color of the fruit, a mix of orange and warm red.
Its the opposite of the quiet luxury,naked nail lookthats been trending.
Its bright, bold, and juicy.

This trend comes around every summer, for many yearsits totally cyclical with the season, Reynosa says.
In the summer we embrace the sun and bronze up.
An orange tinted red is a perfect complement to warm summer outfitsand your tan.

Meanwhile, orange shades may be too warm for everyone to wear, Meesh says.
When its hot, bright, rich shades tend to trend, they say.
It looks great on warmer skin.
Plus, its a shade that looks great on toes, too.
It also matches that orange-red lip that goes with a minimal face.
Thinking about your summer ring stack?
The blood orange mani really pops against gold.
As with any beauty trend, its about adapting it to your style.
This look is simple to DIY, whether you have long or short nails, Meesh says.
It does look best on oval or almond shaped nails rather than square or square-round.
Shape it to an oval or almond shape in any length, Meesh says.
Soften and push back any cuticles.
Remove any excess oil from the nail bed (this helps manicures last longer).
Step 2: Unless you are using a breathable nail polish, apply a base coat.
Orly Bonder is a good base coat to help minimize staining.
(Meesh works with the brand.)
Step 4:Finish with a long-wearingtopcoat.
Step 5:Chips can be very obvious with bright colors like this, Meesh says.
Reapply a clear topcoat daily to extend the wear and prevent chipping.
