We Found the Nail Polish That Matches Every F1 Team

Looking for the perfect Ferrari red manicure? McLaren papaya nails? Or maybe an Aston Martin green that feels a little more subtle than wearing team merch? We got you. We went looking for the nail polish shades that best match every Formula 1 team on the grid and boy, did we find them (and some amazing manicures along the way!)

Using the signature colors associated with each F1 team as our starting point, we did the hard work of comparing their digital color values with real nail polish shades to find some of the closest matches you can actually wear. The result is an F1-inspired manicure for every team on the grid, from Ferrari red and Mercedes turquoise to Williams blue and Aston Martin racing green.

Whether you’re planning your nails for an upcoming Grand Prix, putting together an F1 race-day outfit or just want a subtle way to represent your favorite team, consider this your F1 nail color guide.

A note on our matches: Matching digital colors and physical nail polish isn’t an exact science, and polish can look different depending on lighting, number of coats and skin tone. These are F1Styled’s closest visual matches, not official or licensed Formula 1 team nail colors.

Ferrari Nails: DND Ferrari Red #430

F1 color reference: #E8002D
Our nail polish match: DND Ferrari Red #430

Sometimes the universe makes our job verrrrrry easy. Ferrari’s unmistakable racing red deserves a proper bright red manicure, and DND’s Ferrari Red #430 is almost too perfectly named for the assignment. It’s bold, saturated and exactly the kind of red that makes sense alongside a Ferrari race-day look. If you’re heading to Monza, Imola or simply supporting Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton from home, this is the F1 red manicure we’d start with.

McLaren Nails: DND Diva Papaya Pop #205

F1 color reference: #FF8000
Our nail polish match: DND Diva Papaya Pop #205

If there’s one F1 team color that has become a fashion statement all on its own, it might be McLaren papaya. DND Diva’s Papaya Pop #205 captures that bright orange tone without drifting too far into neon or traditional pumpkin orange. The result feels unmistakably McLaren and would look especially good as part of a Miami, Austin or summer race-weekend manicure. And yes, the fact that it’s actually called Papaya Pop makes this match even better.

Mercedes Nails: DND Diva Teal Treasures #245

F1 color reference: #27F4D2
Our nail polish match: DND Diva Teal Treasures #245

For Mercedes, we’re skipping the obvious silver manicure and going straight for the turquoise. The bright PETRONAS-inspired accent has become instantly recognizable within Mercedes’ Formula 1 identity, and DND Diva Teal Treasures #245 gives you that same vibrant turquoise effect on your nails. Wear it alone for a bold Mercedes manicure, or use the turquoise as an accent alongside black or silver nails for something that feels even more paddock ready.

Red Bull Racing Nails: Essie Butler Please

F1 color reference: #3671C6
Our nail polish match: Essie Butler Please

Red Bull Racing calls for a strong, saturated blue rather than navy, and Essie’s Butler Please lands beautifully in that territory. The vivid royal blue gives you a Red Bull reference without needing logos or nail art. If you do want to take it further, a red or yellow accent nail would turn the color match into a full Red Bull-inspired manicure.

Racing Bulls Nails: OPI No Room for the Blues

F1 color reference: #6692FF
Our nail polish match: OPI No Room for the Blues

Racing Bulls gives us another blue manicure, but this one is noticeably brighter and lighter than Red Bull Racing’s deeper blue.

OPI No Room for the Blues has that clear, energetic blue finish that works well with the team’s 2026 color identity while still looking incredibly wearable outside of race weekend.

It’s also exactly the kind of blue that works beautifully for a summer Grand Prix.

Alpine Nails: Essie In the Cab-ana

F1 color reference: #00A1E8
Our nail polish match: Essie In the Cab-ana

Alpine’s signature blue sits somewhere between a classic bright blue and cyan, which makes Essie In the Cab-ana a natural manicure match. But Alpine fans also have another option… the team’s blue-and-pink identity means this is one of the easiest F1 manicures to turn into actual nail art. Alternate Alpine blue with a BWT-inspired pink, add a single pink accent nail, or combine the two in a French manicure for a full team look.

Aston Martin Nails: Ivanka by Zoya

F1 color reference: #229971
Our nail polish match: Ivanka by Zoya

Aston Martin might have the chicest team manicure on the grid. Its racing-green identity translates beautifully into nail polish, particularly if your F1 style leans more quiet luxury than head-to-toe team merch. Ivanka by Zoya gives us a rich, sparkly green that captures the Aston Martin feel while still working as an everyday manicure. Pair it with gold jewelry and suddenly supporting Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll looks remarkably sophisticated.

Williams Nails: OPI Tile Art to Warm Your Heart

F1 color reference: #1868DB
Our nail polish match: OPI Tile Art to Warm Your Heart

Williams blue needs to be bright, clean and unmistakably blue. OPI Tile Art to Warm Your Heart was our best pick to get the saturated medium-blue finish we’re looking for while not being exactly the same as both the Red Bull and Racing Bulls shades. It’s an easy way to bring Williams into a race-day outfit without having to build your entire look around team colors.

Audi F1 Nails: OPI Suzi Needs a Loch-Smith

F1 color reference: #FF2D00
Our nail polish match: OPI Suzi Needs a Loch-Smith

Audi’s arrival on the Formula 1 grid gives us one of the most interesting colors to match. Rather than a traditional deep corporate red, the team’s F1 color reference leans toward a fiery orange-red. OPI Suzi Needs a Loch-Smith captures that warmth while still reading as a statement red manicure. The result feels distinctly different from Ferrari, which is important when you’re trying to represent two very different teams with colors from the same general family.

Haas Nails: OPI Chrome Clawz

F1 color reference: #DEE1E2
Our nail polish match: OPI Chrome Clawz

Haas brings us into neutral territory with a very pale, cool silver-grey. A literal match is such a pale grey that it doesn’t make for a particularly interesting manicure, but Chrome Clawz gives us Haas silver, while still visually communicating the team’s white/silver aesthetic. It’s also one of the easiest shades on this list to incorporate into more elaborate F1 nail art. Try it as a base with red detailing for a manicure that pulls more directly from the Haas livery.

Cadillac F1 Nails: OPI Black Onyx

F1 color reference: #AAAAAD
Our nail polish match: OPI Black Onyx

It’s Cadillac’s first Formula 1 season, and while it may technically have a silver-grey F1 color reference, we’re taking some editorial license with the newest team on the grid. The black and carbon elements of Cadillac’s 2026 look translate far better to a manicure, and OPI Black Onyx gives us the sleek, high-gloss finish the team deserves.

How to Choose Your F1 Race-Day Nails

We’re not saying you have to paint all ten nails in your team’s signature color. For a more subtle F1 manicure, use your team’s shade for a micro French tip, alternate it with a neutral base, or add the color to just one or two accent nails. You could also combine two team colors, particularly for teams with recognizable secondary shades like Alpine, Haas or Red Bull Racing.

And if you’re going to a Grand Prix, your manicure can become part of the outfit itself. Pick up a color from your team cap, bag, sneakers or jewelry rather than trying to match every piece you’re wearing. The best F1 race-day style usually comes down to the details, and your nails might be the easiest detail of all.
