Shop Nail Polish Colours Online

Nail colour is the fun part of a manicure, and this is where you pick it. Soft pinks, milky beiges and sheer nudes go with everything and still look neat when the polish starts to grow out. A true red never dates. Deep wine and berry tones suit cooler months, and a bright is the easy way to finish a plain outfit. Not sure where to start? Pick one neutral and one statement colour, and you're covered for work, weekends and the odd night out. Adore Beauty is an official stockist, so you're buying the real thing. If you also need treatments or tools, head back to Nail Polish & Care.

Choosing a Finish: Cream, Gel-Look or Matte

Cream polish is the easy place to start. It's opaque, glossy and forgiving, and two thin coats look better than one thick one. If you're searching for gel nail colours, OPI Infinite Shine is a gel-like lacquer made for a high-shine, gel-style finish. True gel polish is set under a UV or LED lamp, so check the product details before you buy. For a matte look, a matte top coat over any cream shade does the job. Quick-dry formulas are worth a look if you're painting your nails in a rush.

Getting a Salon-Style Manicure at Home

Prep does most of the work. File and shape your nails, ease back your cuticles and wipe each nail clean so the polish has something to grip. Nail and cuticle treatments help with dry, ragged edges, and nail accessories and tools cover files, buffers and clippers. Then it's base coat, two thin coats of colour and a top coat, swiped along the free edge to seal it. Finish with a hand cream so your hands look as good as your nails.
