It’s safe to say 2023 has already served up some major mani moments. From matcha green and blueberry milk to geometric prints and mermaidcore, we’ve never felt so overwhelmed with choice. The good news is, here at Who What Wear we are always on hand to help and a trending colour that certainly feels perfect for the summer season is orange. In psychology, the shade is actually said to call to mind feelings of optimism, enthusiasm, excitement, positivity and happiness. In other words, a joyful mani all round.
And it doesn’t stop there. Although an eye catching colour block orange mani works wonders, there’s an abundance of nail art designs that look great with the shade—trust us, we’ve really put in the legwork. If French manicures are your thing, why not try a neon orange tip? If you’re still really into floral designs, give a peach base colour with tiny bright orange flowers a go. Turns out, pairing neon pink and orange is always a good idea. Hey, why not go all out and get actual oranges on your nails? You get the gist, orange is the juicy nail shade to get behind.
