Every winter, clients who spent the whole autumn in nudes walk into the salon and ask for red. Holiday parties, family dinners, New Year countdowns and Lunar New Year reunions all point to the same color. Red is the one shade that works for every occasion, and the one clients will book a full set for.
The hard part for salons and distributors is not demand, it is consistency. A client asking for red usually has a very specific red in mind: a blue-based cherry, a warm brick, a translucent jelly, a deep oxblood, or a red with just enough shimmer to catch the light in photos. Stock the wrong reds and the wall looks repetitive. Stock too few and the booking goes to the salon next door.
THE COLLECTION
The Winter & New Year Red Nail Collection is built around the Ankara Red palette, thirty-six shades numbered #01 to #36 and arranged the way a nail technician actually works: tone first, finish second.
#01 to #09 are the core reds: classic blue-reds, warm scarlet, near-black burgundy and everyday brick tones. These are the shades that sell out first and reorder fastest.
#10 to #18 are the porcelain whites and soft reds: sheer, milky, semi-translucent finishes that read as clean on short natural nails and as a glossy base for art on long extensions. This is the group brides and office clients come back for.
#19 to #27 are the warm spice and amber reds: terracotta, cinnamon and burnt orange-tinged tones that photograph beautifully against winter knitwear and gold jewelry.
#28 to #36 are the deep, dimensional and glitter reds: oxblood, wine, black cherry, plus fine glitter and foil-effect reds for the party season.
Because the whole range sits on one color system, a salon can build a coherent winter menu instead of a random shelf, and a distributor can stock a full red story on a single, compact display card.
THE GX SERIES
Not every client wants to choose from thirty-six. For fast service menus and retail displays, the collection also ships as the GX01 to GX09 groups, nine pre-matched trios, each a complete look rather than a single bottle.
Each trio pairs a base tone with a lighter and a deeper companion, so a technician can create a gradient, a two-tone French or a full monochrome set without leaving the group. It is also the easiest way for a new stockist to start: nine SKUs, nine stories, one shelf.
THE FORMATS
Color is only half of a working collection. The other half is how it behaves in the bottle and on the nail.
Gel Polish, Lipstick Series, 15 ml / 0.5 oz. The signature bottles in the collection are built for UV/LED curing with a high-pigment, self-leveling formula: thin enough to apply in two coats and opaque enough that a single pass covers on most shades. The tall lipstick-style bottle gives technicians a comfortable grip through long appointment days and gives retail shelves a premium silhouette.
Pat Pat Gel. The compact four-pot format is our answer to solid-color and glitter art: pick, tap, spread. No brush loading, no wasted product, and a texture that holds its shape for chrome, foil and 3D detailing. It is the format that turns a red manicure into a red nail design.
FOR SALONS, DISTRIBUTORS AND PRIVATE LABEL
VINIMAY supplies the collection through OEM and ODM programs, so the palette above is a starting point rather than a fixed catalog. We offer private label with your brand and packaging, custom color matching against a reference sample or seasonal direction, custom shade counts such as curated 12, 24 or 36-shade sets, and MSDS and product compliance files on request for customs, retail onboarding and marketplace listings.
Whether you run a salon and are building a winter menu, distribute beauty products and are planning holiday stock, or own a brand looking for a red collection with the shade architecture already worked out, the Ankara Red palette is designed to be relabeled and resold under your name.
PLAN THE SEASON EARLY
Red sells on a schedule: pre-holiday gifting, New Year parties, Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day. The salons that win the season are the ones whose stock arrives before the first client asks.
