From Tomato Red to Burgundy, Which Red Nail Polish is Most Popular in 2024?

From the Flapper Girls era of the 1920s, the Jenny Wrens of the 1940s, Marilyn Monroe of the 1950s, to the present day, we are still ‘immersed in the fever’ of this red color.

Red nail polish has never gone out of style, no matter how many years have passed. However, in recent years, they have gradually lost their appeal to new trends such as millennial pink, donut frosting, baby blue, and latte colors… But as we enter 2024, the ‘red glow’ has regained its leading position.

In 2023, Selena Gomez, Hailey Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, and Camila Morrone all actively endorsed this color. Top nail artists have chosen red as the nail trend for 2024, and we even see the appearance of red at fashion weeks more frequently.

“I feel like red nail polish is entering a new era right now,” renowned nail artist Michelle Humphrey affirmed. She told GLAMOUR, “They add sensuality to the Spring/Summer 2024 catwalks of Proenza Schouler and Brandon Maxwell.”

“Red is not limited, they are made for all seasons because they are timeless,” quoted from nail artist and Mylee’s senior ambassador, Tinu Bello. She added, “Deep cherry red and merlot red will be very hot as we enter 2024, where the red of tomatoes or the mailboxes on the streets will dominate in the summer months.”

We will see a variety of red nail sets in 2024: with chrome, enamel, matte, or glossy finishes. Even if you prefer a simpler style, you can still keep up with the trend by adding small accents. Top nail artist Harriet Westmoreland said, “Imagine how glamorous a girl with French-style nails painted red would look.”

In fact, red is a classic color and has appeared for a long time. From the Flapper Girls era of the 1920s, the Jenny Wrens of the 1940s, Marilyn Monroe of the 1950s, to the present day, we are still ‘immersed in the fever’ of this red color as it can be easily spotted in many different places. This creates opportunities for them to ‘grow’ and ‘survive’ in the beauty-loving community.
