Luxurious Burgundy Manicure for Fall 2024: 11 Ideas That Look Expensive
If red polish is a classic manicure staple, consider burgundy nails its elegant, more refined sister. Cherry red is an obvious choice, practically a neutral by manicure standards, but it's not exactly a universally flattering shade. (Controversial statement, we know.) Burgundy polish, however, complements pretty much every skin tone, nail shape, and length. Plus, its darker, earthier presence, offers a depth that transcends seasons, from beautifully accenting white summer linens to really grounding as the temperatures begin to fall.
The sultry color is gorgeously effective all on its own but lends itself nicely to intricate nail art and even more maximal trends. Don't believe us? Scroll on for some of our favorite burgundy manicures.
01 Burgundy Valentine
. Wondering what looks good with burgundy nails? Look no further than sister shade pink. And not just for Valentine's Day, mind you. We'll be flaunting these sweet tips all year long.
. What's a nail inspo roundup without a little chrome injection these days? Despite what many a milky glazed manicure would have you believe, chrome can get pretty deep, too. Just take this burgundy chrome approach for example.
03 Gold-Standard Burgundy
. Let your rich burgundy polish do most of the talking by opting for a near-solid nail look with just a peek of gold at the cuticles.
. Want a little something extra? This sparkly rendition emphasizes the depth of the color. Good luck not getting too mesmerized by those glittery pools on your fingertips.
. Burberry's signature plaid is closely associated with the early '00s and '10s—and that means it's even more in style in our Y2K-obsessed present. To keep your set from looking too busy, opt for just a couple of plaid accent nails within your solid burgundy mani.
. Not everyone can see aura colors, but this burgundy manicure will leave no question as to the color of your soul. It's giving esoteric vamp and feels like the perfect segue set for summer to fall.
. Hawaiian print is yet another early '00s motif that's alive and well. While most Hawaiian prints feature shades of pink and blue, here you can see how beautiful a burgundy switch-up is.
. You can never go wrong with a French manicure—or a double French manicure, for that matter. This one features slightly thicker tips than your typical double French, giving it a more graphic appeal.
11 Burgundy Croc
. Excuse us while we sprint to the salon to copy these burgundy croc/snake print nails. We're obsessed.
