Nail Polish Colours Inspired by Riverdale Characters

Channel Your Favourite Riverdale Character With These Nail Polish Colours

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Riverdale is coming back this month, and we can't wait to reunite with our favourite characters for some much needed mystery and, of course, beauty inspiration. If you're looking to recreate their looks at home, but don't want to get as specific as Cheryl's bold red lipstick, Betty's bouncy ponytail, or Veronica's well-groomed eyebrows, why not use them as inspiration for your next manicure?

These Riverdale-inspired nail polish colours will bring the drama to your fingertips. (Who knows, maybe even if you dress like Veronica or act like Betty, your ultimate Fall nail colour inspiration might come from Cheryl.) Ahead, see which nail polish colour matches your favourite character, and get ready for the mind-blowing plot twists to come.

Betty Cooper

Our own Nancy Drew, Betty Cooper is sweet but vicious. Even though she was introduced to us as a wholesome, eager-to-please teenager, Betty showed us her true colours in the following seasons. Tired of being pressured to perfection, Betty turned to her friends and the Southside Serpents, alongside her boyfriend, Jughead, making her the Serpent Queen.

Nail Polish Colour: Nude, a colour you can always depend on.
