Does red nail polish suit every skin tone?

Yes — red is universal, but the right tone varies by undertone. Fair skin with cool undertone: blue-based red like Got the Blues for Red or Malaga Wine. Fair skin with warm undertone: Big Apple Red (classic cherry) or Cajun Shrimp (coral). Medium or dark skin: orange-red Color So Hot It Berns! or deep burgundy. Our colour-finder tool at ureve.paris/eng/colour-finder/ steers automatically. By Alice OPI colour specialist at You Rêve Paris (7 rue d'Argenteuil, Paris 1st).

How long does red polish last at You Rêve Paris?

In classic polish alone (no semi-permanent), a well-applied red on prepped nails lasts 5 to 7 days depending on activity (dishes, hand sanitiser). In OPI semi-permanent well applied at €45/45 min (prior Russian manicure + free-edge sealing), it lasts 2 to 3 weeks without losing shine. For darker reds (Got the Blues for Red, Lincoln Park), semi-permanent is almost essential — classic polish chips faster on impact.

Is red polish appropriate for the Parisian office?

Absolutely — a well-applied, true red is elegant and professional, and one of the most-worn nail colours in Parisian offices (finance, law, fashion, comms). For very formal settings: prefer a deep matte red like Got the Blues for Red or Lincoln Park After Dark over a vivid cherry. Nail shape: almond or short rounded square (5-7 mm free edge maximum) reads more pro than long stiletto.
