It’s vampy without looking goth, classic without being boring. The cool blue undertone is what sets it apart – I think that’s why it’s so flattering.” --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/KSGRgRUQtgrtfOGfeWEphXYCRSg=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-270226-team-favourite-nail-shades-jenn_0.jpg) ](https://thegelbottle.com/colours/after-dark/) The Gel Bottle ## Jenn George #### Beauty Director ['After Dark,' £19.14 | The Gel Bottle](https://thegelbottle.com/colours/after-dark/) “I tend to bounce back and forth between pale pinks and dark reds – with the occasional more ‘adventurous’ choice – and my current shade of choice is the Gel Bottle’s ‘After Dark’ which is a rich browny-red. It’s sophisticated, but not stuffy.“ [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/ZR0RT4VIgJSTIbabYeNJbjz5x_g=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-270226-team-favourite-nail-shades-florence_1.jpg) ](https://www.renewbeauty.co.uk/products/bio-bottle-colour-anthea-12ml) @FlorenceEyres ## Florence Eyres #### Senior Shopping Editor ['Anthea,' £18 | Bio Sculpture](https://www.renewbeauty.co.uk/products/bio-bottle-colour-anthea-12ml) “I’ve tried and tested a lot of pale pinks from various brands and my favourite is ‘Anthea’ by Biosculpture. I love how you can layer it for different levels of sheerness and it’s neutral enough to work all year round.” --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/kbrwJKynib7hlUVPdBCnUg2Q37o=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-270226-team-favourite-nail-shades-orin_0.jpg) ](https://john-lewis-and-partners.pxf.io/4PM7n0) Chanel ## Orin Carlin #### Beauty Writer ['Rouge Noir,' £30 | Chanel](https://john-lewis-and-partners.pxf.io/4PM7n0) “These days, I’m almost always wearing BIAB but on the rare occasion that I do wear traditional polish, nine times out of ten I’m reaching for Chanel’s iconic ‘Rouge Noir’. I always gravitate towards jewel tones for richness and depth, and this hits the spot every time. Not only does it complement all jewellery metals, it adds a vampy edge to even the simplest of outfits.” --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/Wy0EP20Zyu0vw_Eo0FZpWgo8l_E=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-270226-team-favourite-nail-shades-mia_0.jpg) ](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2041&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Fopi-nail-polish---funny-bunny-white-15ml-10294301) @MiaLuckie ## Mia Luckie #### Director of Marketing & Innovation ['Funny Bunny,' £14.90 | OPI](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2041&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Fopi-nail-polish---funny-bunny-white-15ml-10294301) “Honestly, I wear OPI's ‘Funny Bunny’ on repeat (so much so my nail tech is bored of me…).
