This Is Officially the Trendiest Nail Color in Hollywood Right Now

ICYMI: Orange is the new black in Hollywood—especially when it comes to your nails. From Margot Robbie to Kerry Washington, we’ve been seeing the vibrant hue on everyone’s tips lately. And before you write it off as too loud, let us make a case for why it’s surprisingly versatile.

A Creamy Apricot

During a press day promoting Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Margot Robbie went for a monochromatic beauty look with shades of apricot on her lids, lips, cheeks and nails. Paired with an all-ivory ensemble and she positively glowed.

For a similar effect as Robbie, opt for a creamy orange polish with peachy undertones to make your skin look sun-kissed.

A Vibrant Coral

Kacey Musgraves rocked a vibrant coral mani while performing at Governors Ball Music Festival earlier this summer. The saturated hue pops against fair skin and is especially flattering thanks to the balance of warm and cool tones.

This coral from Chanel is a go-to for us because of its smooth, creamy formula. Two coats will completely cover your nails without streaking.

A Pop Of Citrus

Or take a cue from Kerry Washington and use the bold shade as an accent. From afar, you only see her cobalt blue tips, but up close you’ll notice her ring finger features pops of citrus to match the design of her dress.

You can’t go wrong with this cheery citrus from Jin Soon. We can attest: The opaque formula dries quickly with a glossy finish.
