Cranberry nail polish is as versatile as a Chanel quilted 11.2 crossbody because it works effortlessly with all of your outfits. Gerstein describes it as a great accessory shade of red because of how well it complements so many other colors.
Try this trend with Deborah Lippmann Gel Lab Pro Color Nail Polish in Cranberry Kiss, which dries down with shine even before you apply the top coat. If you don’t have time to paint your nails or hit the salon, we suggest Sally Hansen Perfect Manicure Press-Ons in Cinna-Snap. I used the under-$10 almond-shaped press-ons for the look above.

Gerstein describes black cherry as “the darkest burgundy can get before it becomes black.” It’s moody and elevated, especially with a glass-like shine. She recommends using OPI Lincoln Park After Dark (which leans more purple) or Chanel Rouge Noir (which is a true deep red)for the look.
Gerstein also suggests trying the color with a jelly effect. “It gives the vampy shade a modern twist,” she says. To make your own black cherry jelly polish, Gerstein says to mix 4-5 drops of your nail color into a bottle of clear polish and shake it. If your shade isn’t as deep as you like, slowly add more until it is.
If you want to skip that extra step just go in with a ready-made burgundy polish with a jelly finish—we love Cirque Colors Bonbon Jelly, a dark burgundy with a super glossy finish that mimics that jelly texture.
