The addition of glitter into some of our formulas is designed to enhance, capture and reflect light, creating a stunning, multifaceted effect. Each movement of the hand catches the light differently, ensuring that your nails always stand out. The contrast between the rich red base and the sparkling glitter creates a truly mesmerising finish.
As with all JACAVA London nail polish, applying a red glitter shade can be a delightful experience. The 9-free formula of our polish glides smoothly onto the nails, and multiple coats can be applied to achieve the desired level of intensity and sparkle. A high-quality top coat is essential to seal in the glitter and provide a glossy finish, ensuring that the polish lasts longer and remains chip-free. Additionally, a top coat helps to smooth out any texture from the glitter, giving your nails a sleek and polished appearance.
For deep red nail polish shades, we recommend you use JACAVA London Prestige Base Coat, to help protect the nails natural colour and enhance adhesion of the colour.
Dark red nail polish epitomises the pinnacle of sophistication and timeless allure.

Its deep, velvety finish is perfect for the discerning individual who appreciates the finer things in life, adding an opulent touch that is both bold and gracefully understated. The intensity and depth of this dark red polish reflect a commitment to beauty and luxury, making it an essential addition to any sophisticated nail wardrobe.
