Orange You Glad it’s a Summer Trend?

This summer, make your fingertips come alive with a burst of happy citrus. Wildly outspoken, this juicy hue is an attention-seeker; from bright tangerine to smooth citrus cream, the pop of colour is forceful and undeniable. Long considered a vacation staple, the shade has transitioned from beach to boardroom. Find your perfect orange crush and rock out this season.

  1. Placed like that, I really want orange, but at the same time, I guess it’s harder to match. I really love this picture. great work

  2. These colours look gorgeous on your page, but at the same time, I don’t think I would wear an orange polish… maybe I’m just too old lol

  5. Havent been a big fan of orange in any form so I’ve been trying some with more of a gold hue, to get used to it! Worked with my yellow phobia…..

    • I think mixing gold with a little orange would result in a stunning colour :) So summery!

  6. I have never been an orange fan but these are nice hues. I really like #5 and 6.

  7. Not much of an orange fan here but I may be brave and try it on my nails this summer

  8. With my dark complexion, orange nail polish would give me a nice pop of colour. I especially like the Dolce & Gabbana, Fire. Paired with a nice orange toned handbag, I would be set for the summer.

  9. Well good to know that my orange TH polo that I just bought is in fashion. Now I need to find a lime green polo and I’ll be all set.

  11. I think it depends on what a person wears, I love my orange shirt I bought for summer so would wear a polish to match!

  12. This photo display is absolutely stunning and many thanks for naming the colours so we can find them. Citrus – here to stay for at least three more months!!

    • Hahaha that’s right! As long as the temps are over 20 degrees C, citrus will be en vogue!

  13. these are sooo cool!! Orange nail polish use to be pumkin color and I felf weird about wearing it ..(only for halloween) But these are sooo nice I think i will get some…The Dior one is very nice!! :)

  14. Going for a fresh mani-pedi tomorrow and coincidentally I was planning on an orange hue. Bring on summer!!!! I want a shellac mani though and don’t think any of these are shellac but I won’t let that stop me. I will prevail!

  15. So pretty!! I might need a bit of a tan to pull it off but it’s so nice for summer!

  16. I have recently found that orange is a colour that I can wear…I even bought glasses with a very cool orange pattern…my fave is #5 OPI! I love these posts!

  17. I’m not big on wearing colour, but I love, love, love wearing nail polish and accessories that pop! Orange nail polish is right up my alley!

  18. Ooooh! The POP beauty polish is amazing! I have never heard of the brand before – is it from Sephora?

  19. Hey Lena- great round up! I was wondering, have ever tried either Dior or Chanel polish? I’ve been considering splurging and trying one (they are quite the upgrade from my regular Essie), but I’m to sure which o go with. Any thoughts? Thank you!

  20. They are all so pretty – for someone else ! Orange (like yellow) and me don’t get along too well :o) I bet my granddaughters would LOVE the one with the sparkles in it despite the name “Right Amount of Evil” LOL !!

  21. Essie, Brazilliant is one of my favorite colors to wear this summer! Loving the orange trend!

  22. The orange colors look awesome on your blog and if I was just a bit more adventurous I would try one. I love the NARS, Madness.
