What gel polish colors should every nail technician have: top 10 most popular and in-demand colors

Pantone inspires us every season with exquisite palettes, but there are timeless classics—shades that never go out of style. These basic colors serve as the foundation for every nail artist, regardless of their skill level—whether they are a beginner or a seasoned professional with years of experience.
Client preferences can be unpredictable, so many nail artists strive to expand their collection with as many shades as possible, hoping to use them before they expire. However, there are a few universal colors that are always in demand. They are suitable for any season, style, and occasion—true must-haves that should always be kept on hand and even in reserve!
In this list, you won’t find black and white—their importance in manicures has long been an axiom of the profession! Instead, we will focus on other indispensable shades that will make any gel polish collection perfect.
1. Red
Red is an eternal classic, a symbol of elegance and refinement. This rich shade adds perfection and charm to the look, drawing attention with its expressiveness. To achieve the perfect result, it's important to choose a high-quality gel polish that provides an even and long-lasting finish. Dynamic and confident women often prefer this color, as it not only highlights style but also gives a sense of strength and attractiveness.
2. Burgundy
Burgundy is a sophisticated and elegant shade, perfect for women who appreciate understated style and refinement. This versatile color adds depth and aristocracy to an outfit, seamlessly complementing a business wardrobe. It embodies impeccable taste and practicality, making it an excellent choice for those seeking elegance in every detail.
3. Nude
A nude shade is a delicate variation of beige with a light powdery undertone, perfect for creating the most natural French manicure. Its versatility makes it an excellent base for creative designs: stickers, watercolor drawings, bright neon accents, and many other effects. This elegant shade radiates femininity and sophistication, and the matte finish only enhances its refinement.
4. Chocolate
As an alternative to black, some clients prefer dark shades with unique designs, but find black too strict.
5. Pastel lavender
This exquisite shade of lilac not only brings joy and pleasant emotions but also adds a refined femininity to the nails.

6. Coral
This exquisite shade not only accentuates feminine charm but also gives the manicure a universal elegance, making it perfect for any occasion.
7. Medium gray
We recommend choosing a sophisticated medium gray shade as the base for a stylish manicure. This color is perfect for creating an elegant look, which can be complemented with rhinestones, silver liquid foil, or white slides to add refinement and sophistication to the design. Another excellent choice would be a manicure with a "quail egg" effect, done with white gel paint — it will give the manicure a unique delicacy and charm!
8. Gold glitter
For nail design and accentuation, it is important that the glitter is dense, creating an intense and sophisticated effect.

9. Pale orange
Pale orange is neither tangerine nor too bright, but rather a shade that is gradually gaining status as the new classic. When powdery and pink tones become predictable, people start looking for something fresh and unusual. And here it is, pale orange — the perfect choice! After conducting a survey on Instagram, this shade has won the hearts of many, even surpassing the elegant and timeless black-and-white manicure.
10. Dark blue
This color, also known as navy blue, embodies the elegance of maritime themes. It is a rich blue with deep black undertones, reminiscent of the color of a sailor's t-shirt. Although it is part of the chocolate color palette, its cool and deep tone stands out with a unique, understated luxury. A survey conducted on Instagram revealed that this shade is preferred even more often than ruby red.
The perfect nail polish shade is a combination of personal preferences, mood, and current trends. We hope that our selection inspires you to find your must-have gel polish colors.
