The people have spoken…and by “people,” I mean Pantone. Every year, the company responsible for color coordinating across multiple design industries tasks its Color Institute with predicting the color everyone will be obsessed with over the next 12 months. This year, Living Coral, or “an animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge” received that distinct honor. And as predicted, we’ve spent the past seven months thinking of every single way we can incorporate it into our routine; the easiest being coral nail polish.
To be honest, coral has always been my unofficial color of summer. It’s bright. It’s poppy. It’s that unique blend of red, pink, and orange that flatters every skin tone. In other words, it’s arguably the most versatile shade to wear any time of year, but especially when the weather matches its blazing hot aura. As far as I’m concerned, you can never have enough coral in your beauty routine, especially when it concerns nail polish. Whether it’s a darker, red-coral or a light, peach one, there are more than a few ways to wear such a show-stopper. If you need proof, just keep scrolling.
