Nightcap – HEMA FREE Gel Polish 10g

A Rich Burnt Orange with Warm Terracotta Tones

Warm, earthy and packed with autumn character, Nightcap is a rich burnt orange gel polish with beautifully muted terracotta and rust undertones.

Part of our Fall: After Dark Collection, Nightcap takes the vibrancy of orange and turns it down for the darker season. Rather than a bright pumpkin orange, this is a deeper, earthier shade – warm, sophisticated and beautifully reminiscent of autumn leaves, glowing embers and the rich colours that appear as the evening draws in.

Its smooth flat-colour finish allows those warm, rusty tones to take centre stage, making Nightcap a statement autumn shade that remains wonderfully wearable.

Think crackling fires, copper leaves, warm spices, cosy evenings and one final drink before calling it a night.

Just One More Nightcap...

There are few colours that capture autumn quite like burnt orange, and Nightcap brings that quintessential seasonal warmth into the deeper, moodier world of Fall: After Dark.

Its terracotta character gives the colour an earthy quality, while rusty orange undertones provide enough richness to make it stand apart from brighter seasonal oranges.

The result is a shade that feels simultaneously retro, earthy and contemporary.

Nightcap looks striking as a full-colour manicure, particularly when paired with shorter, beautifully shaped nails, but it is equally at home as part of detailed autumn nail art.

Combine it with Hot Toddy for a warm tonal palette, Into The Forest for classic autumn contrast, or Last Light for a softer, muted combination. Add Dark Desire for an even richer after-dark palette.

It's also a fantastic choice for tortoiseshell, autumn leaves, retro patterns, checks, abstract designs and seasonal French manicures.
