Red is a colour that forever will remain as a fiery and sexy fashion statement for women but let’s talk about another red. A kind of red that’s been just taking over social feeds and gracing runways and boutiques alike. It’s our very own burgundy—now often called bordeaux. A colour that is not so into standing out but a red that remains deep and cool. It doesn’t evoke roses or embers but rather brings to mind ripe pomegranates and the depth of wine.
The color burgundy and fashion make a highly relevant pairing today. From my own experience, every day at my office, at least two or three of my peers wear outfits featuring some touch of burgundy. It just pops up everywhere, yet merges into the settings so beautifully.
Here is a list of well-vetted glamorous Burgundy nail designs to really bring out the Burgundy in your nail art. Let’s go!
1. Classic Burgundy Gloss
If simplicity is your style, a classic glossy burgundy manicure will do wonders. This timeless look is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a day at the office or a night out. The gloss finish enhances the depth of burgundy, giving your nails a luxurious vibe that’s both elegant and bold. For a refined touch, choose a longer almond or square shape.
2. Matte Burgundy with Gold Accents
For those who love matte nails, a deep burgundy matte base with delicate gold accents is a sophisticated way to elevate your look. Try adding thin gold stripes, dots, or even tiny leaf patterns for a classy finish. This combination is perfect for holiday parties, formal events, or any time you want to add a touch of glam.
3. Burgundy and Marble Combo
Marble nail designs are a hot trend, and pairing it with burgundy is a stunning choice. Opt for a burgundy base with one or two accent nails featuring white, black, or grey marble. This mix of solid and marbled textures is both elegant and chic, adding depth and a creative touch to your manicure.
4. Burgundy and Glitter Ombre
For a bit of sparkle, consider a burgundy-to-glitter ombre effect. Start with a rich burgundy base and fade into gold, rose gold, or even silver glitter tips. This design is perfect for weddings, parties, or any occasion that calls for a little extra sparkle. It’s especially stunning on longer nails, where the gradient can be fully appreciated.
5. Geometric Burgundy Designs
Geometric designs are modern, edgy, and fun, making them perfect for those looking to mix things up. Use a deep burgundy as the base color and create geometric shapes with lines, triangles, or squares using white, black, or metallic shades. This design is both eye-catching and sophisticated, making it a great conversation starter.
6. French Tips with a Twist
French tips aren’t just for pink and white anymore! For a unique twist, try burgundy French tips with a nude or blush base. This subtle yet chic look is ideal for those who prefer a minimalist design with a splash of bold color. Add a thin metallic line under the tip for a modern finish.
7. Burgundy with Floral Accents
Floral nail art isn’t only for spring! Pair your burgundy nails with delicate floral accents in gold, white, or pastel shades for a romantic and feminine vibe. Whether you choose a single accent nail or a full floral design, this look is beautiful and unique, perfect for showcasing your creative side.
8. Burgundy and Black Ombre
The burgundy and black ombre design is edgy and dramatic. This style fades from deep burgundy at the top of the nail to jet black at the tips, creating a moody, mysterious vibe. It’s an ideal choice for those who love darker, gothic-inspired nail art and pairs beautifully with darker, fall wardrobes.
9. Minimalist Burgundy Dots and Lines
If you’re a fan of minimalism, try a simple burgundy base with minimalist dots or lines in contrasting colors. Whether you add a single dot on each nail or a few thin lines for a graphic effect, this understated design is effortlessly chic and perfect for daily wear.
10. Burgundy Chrome Finish
Chrome nails add a futuristic, high-shine effect that instantly grabs attention. A burgundy chrome finish is ideal for making a bold, glamorous statement and looks great on any nail length. This mirror-like shine will make your nails the star of any outfit and is perfect for a night out or special event.
So now what about bringing Burgundy into our nail colours, tweeking and styling them in your own way? Good idea, indeed. Burgundy nail designs aren’t just for fall and winter anymore; they’re timeless, versatile, and perfect for any season.
