Is it just me, or is coral one of the best nail polish colors out there? I can already hear some of you disagreeing, but let me plead my case. It's always on-trend, looks gorgeous on every skin tone, and adds the perfect pop of color to any outfit.

Still not convinced? Well then, let me bust out the big guns. I asked celebrity nail artist Queenie Nguyen and Mazz Hanna, a celebrity manicurist and the founder of Mazz Hanna Beauty, to back me up. Both wholeheartedly agree that coral is the new It shade. "Coral nail polish is one of the most universally flattering polishes out there, and its bright pop instantly elevates your mood as soon as you look down at your hands or feet," Hanna says. If you're curious about the coral nail polishes each of them always has on hand, keep scrolling for their top picks and a few of our other favorites.
