There are plenty of hues for the fall season – black, burnt orange or brown nails – that come to mind.
A burgundy manicure is the elevated choice for the cooler months. Burgundy, a close cousin to cherry red, is a bit more refined than its counterpart.
A rich burgundy complements every skin tone, nail shape, and length. Its rich hue has an earthier presence, which transcends seasons and a deep burgundy base will easily take you to the winter season.
Burgundy Nail Designs
The sultry color is perfectly effective all on its own, but lends itself nicely to intricate nail art designs. The versatile color looks beautiful with pops of gold or intermingled with a crisp white.
Scroll below to find burgundy nail designs to wear this season.
Solid Burgundy Color
The burgundy polish itself is a mix between a deep purple and a dark red. It carries a timeless, classic feel that manages to make a bold statement when worn.
The finish of choice is a glossy burgundy, but a matte burgundy finish is just as beautiful. Be sure to finish with a top coat to seal in the color.
Regardless of the finish, this color gives your overall look an expensive feel. It is the perfect manicure for the cooler weather.
French Tips
If you don’t want color all over your nails, why not opt for some minimalist nail art? Burgundy tips are the perfect choice for those who prefer neutral nail designs.
These tips work on all nail shapes, but the easiest way is with a classic look. Ideally, these glossy tips work best on almond-shaped nails or even, square nails.
I mean you can never go wrong with a classic French manicure – but swap the white finish for burgundy hues.
Abstract Nails
Burgundy’s rich depth makes it the perfect pairing with a neutral base.
These head-turning negative space manicures are an easy way to achieve a unique look with minimal effort. Given the intricacy, your best bet is to enlist the help of a manicurist, but it’s also achievable with a steady hand and some nail tape.
The contrast between the rich burgundy nail polish and the softness of the natural nail is playful, yet on trend for the fall season.
Touch of Gold
Burgundy is gorgeous all on its own, but add gold glitter accents and the shade is even more eye-catching. These gold and burgundy nails scream holiday party vibes.
The glittery accent instantly ups the festive factor for formal events or everyday wear.
Fall Florals
Floral nail art is usually a popular choice for the warmer months, but floral accents feel cozy, and quite unexpected for the cooler temperatures.
Floral nail designs add such an intricate, artistic look to any color – especially a burgundy nail design.
Fancy Details
There’s something so cool and unexpected about different designs mixed with a classic burgundy shade.
Tortoiseshell often contains a touch of burgundy, making it the perfect neutral print for those looking to lean into the color trend.
For a unique touch, add some nail art or decals on top.
