3 Retro Manicures To Try


In a world where we’ve done everything from wallpaper patterns to little moustaches on our nails, it's easy to overlook the stunning simplicity of a retro look. For your next special occasion, why not try one of these vintage-inspired nail designs?

Retro Red
Red nails have been popular for decades — your grandmother is probably sporting a red manicure in at least one photo from her youth. And guess what? The classic is still going strong.
A fire-engine red manicure is a simple way to channel a sultry ’60s screen siren. For a real retro-red moment, opt for an orange-tinged hue for fall and use a top coat to add that smooth finish. One ravishing shade to try? CoverGirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in Ever Reddy. Its slight tomato tint is a sunny farewell to summer and perfect transition to fall.
Beauty Tip: When removing red polish, clean your nails twice. With red, it’s always a tough undertaking.

Taupe Rose
Out-of-circulation taupey rose nails were très chic in the late ’50s and early ’60s. Whether pink or taupe is your preference, a neutral manicure is a ladylike way to embrace the fall season. If you want it to pop, simply apply the color over white polish, like CoverGirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in Snow Storm.
Beauty Tip: Chipped mani? Just apply another coat directly over the one you’re already wearing. Lighter colors like this layer easily.
