Orange

Orange is tagged by what sits in the bottle rather than the shade name, so this shelf runs soft peach and coral through hot mandarin and jam to terracotta and rust. It covers soak off gel, nail lacquer, matching trios and dip powder, including cat eye, glow and mood changing oranges. Clays that have browned out sit on Browns. Start at shop by color.

Frequently Asked Questions about Orange

Why does orange polish streak on the first coat?

Orange and yellow pigments are less opaque than reds, so one heavy coat drags and shows brush lines and bar lines at the free edge. Float two or three thin coats instead and cure each one fully. For neon and sheer coral, lay a white or nude base underneath so the nail bed stops showing through.

What is the difference between coral and peach on the nail?

Coral carries pink under the orange, so it stays bright against skin and holds its brightness in photos. Peach carries white and beige, which softens it toward a nude and can wash out very warm hands. A true orange has no pink in it at all and reads loud against a tan.

Where do terracotta and rust sit?

On this shelf. Both are tagged Orange because the bottle still reads orange, which is also why coral and peach land here rather than on the pink shelf. Once the pigment browns out past clay into chocolate or espresso, the product is tagged Brown instead. Coral and peach are summer shades, terracotta and rust carry the fall menu.

Can a salon buy a full orange range for a seasonal menu?

Yes, and you do not need a license to place the order. Wholesale pricing runs on a separate approval, so arrange that before a large seasonal buy rather than after.
