Electric Orange

Go wild this summer with this exciting shade of joyful orange. Orange is making a big come-back! Step away from the fluorescent shades of the early 2000s, and say hello to electric orange. It’s vibrant, it’s fun and it’s the ultimate statement nail color for summer 2018.

Nudes

Thanks to the Kardashians, nude shades show no sign of leaving us. Nude nails are a subtle and clever look as they go with anything and help bring a touch of elegance and sophistication to your look. Find a good shade of nude to suit any shade of skin and flaunt your natural beauty this summer.
