2024 is finally here, bringing with it a whole new Pantone colour to shake up our beauty games. ICYMI, 2024 is bringing Peach Fuzz, described as a “velvety gentle peach tone” by the Pantone Color Institute™. This soft tone is the perfect hybrid shade to take us from the likes of Hailey Bieber’s nude nails to transition us into more bold autumnal colours as we make our way through the year. Although the warmth this peachy tone gives off may just become your staple, year-round colour! 

So, it’s time to scrub your glittering, a(although save the inspo for the next glitzy occasion) and check out these simplistic nods to ‘Peach Fuzz’...

OPI Infinite Shine in ‘Sanding in Stilettos’

OPI knows nails. There’s no denying that when it comes to a lick of glossy polish OPI is the most likely pick. Why have we flocked to this cult-classic brand? Probably because of the universal tick of approval it’s gotten from nail artists (aren’t the walls of bottles just the most satisfying things to look at?). While there are literally hundreds of shades to choose from, our Peach Fuzz pick is ‘Standing in Stilettos’. Because we’re not quite ready to let the holiday fun go, we’ll be easing our way into the summer colours with this shimmering pearlescent peach. The formula simply applies like a polish, but once dried leaves your nails with a gel-like protection. Did someone say long-lasting shimmer?

Gel-like finish 
No UV necessary

We love a product that can do more than one task. And really is it a big task to ask for? Luckily for us, Dior is fully on board the multi-functional train, infusing each of their polishes with nail-loving (and ultra-nourishing) floral extracts, protecting your nails while you wear the classic couture colours. But as if that’s not enough already, Dior further enhanced their formulas with extracts of peony and pistachio, giving the polish an epic hyper-pigmentation shine. The Peach Fuzz tone from Dior? ‘Rivage’ can only be described as a glowing sparkling glimpse of warmth with golden flecks throughout the peachy polish.

Sienna was even the first nail polish to be created with no nano-particles! Sienna’s ‘Carnation’ is the truest match to Pantones 2024 colour; if we didn’t know better we’d say it was made specifically to match the warm, fun tone. The soft peach is an elegant addition to our latest love of all things peach.

Chanel Le Vernis in ‘929- Pastel Sand’

If the awards shows (and red carpets) have taught us anything, it’s that A-listers love a Chanel mani.

Formulated with naturally-derived camellia eco-ceramides (a Chanel exclusive) and ultra-concentrated pigments, this polish will leave you with a long-lasting mani. If protected, glossy sheen is the accessory your hands have been waiting for, then introduce them to ‘Pastel Sand’, the ever-so-slightly brighter version of Peach Fuzz (don’t tell on us). The pinky-peach has an ever-so-slight golden glimmer that will leave your nails catching everyone's attention.

Highly concentrated pigment 
Eco-ceramide infused

from $13.95 at Priceline

If you’re anything like us, painting your nails always ends in a mental breakdown.

You somehow manage to correct it, just to smudge it after what felt like several days of waiting for it dry. Well, your solution no longer has to be to fork out the big bucks for a salon mani to save the smudge. Revlon have cleverly created a formula that dries in just sixty seconds! The clever colours even serve as a stand-alone; gone are the days of needing a base and top coat! Not to mention it’s a vegan formula that is free from a long list of chemicals. The shade we’re obsessed with? ‘Keep Cool’. It’s a slightly cooler-toned version that’s still full of totally on-trend peachy magic.
