If there’s one shade that never goes out of style, it’s red. It’s timeless. It’s powerful. And it always makes a statement - especially when the sun’s out and the events are stacking up. Whether you’re after a deep wine tone or a summer-bright scarlet, our red gel polishes are here to deliver chip-free, salon-perfect colour that lasts up to 3 weeks. No appointments. No drama. Just glossy red perfection at home.

Below, we’ve rounded up the best red gel polish shades in our collection - plus the kits, builder bases, and accessories that make them last longer and shine harder.

Red Carpet - Classic, Confident & Always In Style
This bestselling red is your go-to for events, interviews, weddings, or date nights when you want to feel polished and powerful. Think of it as the Louboutin of our polish wardrobe - bold, red, and undeniably iconic.

A slightly cooler red that’s perfect if you want something elegant without going too fire-engine bright. Ideal for weddings, city breaks, or just… Tuesday.

6. Red Gel Polish Starter Kit – Everything in One Box
A bundle with four soft, romantic shades that feel just the right amount of special - without being over the top. Perfect for brides, besties, or anyone who wants a little everyday pretty. Think honeymoons, Sunday brunch, or a quiet moment to yourself.

Love is in the Air Shade Bundle – vibrant red and pink tones in HEMA-free gel polish perfect for at-home manicures.

Why We Love Red (And Why It Sells Out Every Summer):

Red is that rare colour that works in every season - but in summer, it just hits different. It makes your tan pop, it goes with everything, and it instantly makes your nails look like you’ve got your life together (even if you’re in a bikini with sand in your tote).


Pair it with a glossed lip, gold jewellery, or your favourite espadrilles - and you’re set for festivals, weddings, BBQs, or beach days.


Pro Tip: Make Your Red Mani Last Longer


Whether you’re a vintage red girl or more into bright cherry tones, there’s a red in our collection with your name on it. And the best part? It’ll last longer than your lipstick and never chips before the big night out.

Your nails deserve main character energy. Red gets you there.
