The warm weather is bringing bright colour trends to your favourite nail salons, and orange in particular is a major trend for Summer 2019. Regardless of your skin tone or tastes, there's a shade of orange to love. According to Eleanor Langston, chief creative officer of Paintbox in New York City, clients are already favouring the colour.

"From poppy red to vivid peach, orange undertones signal that Summer's here," she said. In fact, the colour is becoming so popular, it's replacing many people's go-to shade. "Corals, peaches, and salmon shades are the modern version of millennial pink and are ultraflattering on all skin tones," she said.

Langston suggests choosing your orange shade according to your skin tone. "If you're fair, try a warm cherry red or even a terracotta colour," she said. "Medium and olive complexions would look amazing in salmon, tangerine, or cantaloupe shades." Have a darker complexion? She suggests trying out a milky blush or bright grapefruit polish.

Check out some of the best orange polishes in the shades Langston suggests ahead.
