Orange nails are the color of tropical sunrises, juicy peaches, monarch butterflies, and crisp Autumn leaves. Orange appears in so many of the most beautiful aspects of nature, but the color was relatively underrated in the worlds of beauty and fashion—until now. Sure, you could always count on a spike of orange around September to November, but now the color is increasingly making its mark on every season. In fact, orange has been named the ‘it’ color of the year. You can catch orange all over the runway and street fashions alike. So why not incorporate this stunning color onto your cute nails?

50 Reasons to Choose a Beautiful Orange Nail Design This Year

Blush and ‘millennial pink’ are so last years. Orange nails are bound to become this year’s biggest trend. One up everyone else’s orange clothing by flaunting some gorgeous orange nails. There are so many shades and ways to incorporate the color. We’ll prove that there are orange nail ideas to suit every season, just like burgundy nails. You can choose a lovely pastel or coral shade for spring. In the summer, brighter or neon shades will rival the intensity of the sun. Burnt orange or mustard orange is the perfect cozy shade for the fall. Finally, your winter style will be complemented beautifully with coppery orange nail polish.

Of course, solid color nail designs are only the tip of the iceberg. Orange patterns and orange accents will give you more exciting and nuanced ways to wear the style. Experiment with stripes, dots, jewels, French tips, glitter, marble patterns, ombre, and more. Orange also pairs wonderfully with an array of other colors. You can change up the style further with glossy, gel, or matte powders and polishes. You can’t forget about all of the different lengths and nail shapes that you can try too.

Are you feeling a little overwhelmed by the possibilities? Don’t worry! We’ll show you a range of orange nail ideas to try at home or with your manicurist.
