The Cutest Red Nails Ideas
1. Red Velvet Heart Nails
I have seen SO many nail techs recently posting about how they hate whoever posted this idea on the internet, because they have such a hard time recreating the heart cat eye look LOL. This nail idea is SO cute and has been really popular for Valentine’s Day this year (even though nail techs hate recreating it lol).
2. Raspberry Red Nails
This nail color is so lovely! Cherry nails have been super popular recently, and I’ve seen this picture used as “cherry nail inspo,” but it looks like more of a raspberry red to me!
3. Wine Red Nails
Wine red is another color that has been super popular recently, and for good reason. It’s gorgeous! I am absolutely obsessed with this color.

4. Red Chrome
Red chrome nails got really popular during the holiday season last year! Depending on the base color you use, you could do them at any time of the year, really.
5. Cherry Nails
Now THIS color is what I think of when I think of cherry nails. It matches the color of dark cherries! Like I said earlier, this color has been super popular recently.
6. Red Velvet Cat Eye Nails
If you’re wanting to do red nails but want something more than just a basic red, you could do red velvet nails like these! They’re done using cat eye polish and using the magnet in a specific way.

9. Red Jelly Nails
This idea is honestly super similar to the red velvet nails, except I think these use more of a sheer polish to give them that jelly look!
10. Red Glitter Nails
You can never go wrong with glitter nails of any kind, in my opinion. I’ve had my nails done just like this before and I got so many compliments!
11. Red Ribbon Nails
If you’re someone like me who loves everything coquette and ribbons, these nails would be so cute to do! I did red ribbon nails like this for Christmas, and I got TONS of compliments.
12. Red French Tips
This is another cute design to do if you’re wanting something more than just plain red nails, but want a more subtle design! Red french tips are so chic and classy looking.

I absolutely love aura nails. This is my first time seeing red aura nails, and I am obsessed! Everything about them is perfect. This would be such a good red nail design to do!
14. Red Lava Lamp Design
I have NO idea what to call this design. To me, it kind of looks like blood drops or something, but I’ve been seeing this design get more and more trendy recently! It could also be a lava lamp inspired design.
15. Ombre Cherry Nails
Okay, I think this is my favorite nail design on the list. These kind of look like reverse aura nails where the light part is in the middle! They really remind me of the 90s aesthetic. I’m obsessed.

These are similar to the gilded nails, except the design is all red! These are SO cool and unique.

This is another design that would be SUPER cute to get. I love how the floral nails blend in with the vibes of the rest of the set. Like, it’s floral, but it’s subtle floral. It’s so pretty.
