Despite the fact that every season stylists offer us a whole range of new trendy shades, burgundy manicure has not left the top positions in nail art for many years now. The peculiarity of this shade is that it is ideal for everyone, regardless of age and color type of appearance. It looks equally impressive both in the office and at a party. Therefore, we invite you to consider the most popular burgundy manicure options.
Fashion trends
Stylists call burgundy manicure a win-win option, as it will be appropriate in any setting and with any outfit. You can do it on both short and long nails of any shape. It looks very elegant on fair-skinned girls.
Burgundy is often used in French and lunar designs. It looks attractive in a gradient manicure, along with black polish. However, monochrome coating in this shade is no less popular.
Wine manicure techniques
French wine manicure
One of the worthy options for wine design is to combine it with a French manicure.
A rich plum shade will look very beautiful in a French jacket design. But not the usual white smile, but replacing it with a gold or silver color. A moon manicure with the same design will also look good.
Manicure with a pattern
Wine colors will be a good basis for creating a manicure with a pattern.
Patterns can be either miniature or voluminous.
Fashionable geometric patterns with dark varnish colors will look beautiful.
The floral theme will benefit from the use of light tones of varnish on a rich burgundy finish.
Original stained glass
This is a unique design that creates an imitation of broken glass. Stained glass technology attracts people with its originality.
She always looks solemn. Multi-colored film or foil, as well as stickers, will help you create it. The material is cut into small parts of different sizes, and attached to the nails in the form of a pattern or randomly. A stained glass manicure in a wine style on dark shades looks like a win.
It doesn't matter what technique you choose to create your manicure. The main thing is to make it high quality and appropriately combine it with your image.
Plain manicure
Due to the fact that burgundy is a deep and rich color, it looks perfect in monochrome. It is often chosen by brave and confident girls who are not afraid to attract attention.
Burgundy varnish can differ in color saturation, be glossy or matte. A matte manicure will look more impressive on long nails, since only in this case can the depth of color be revealed to the maximum.
Whichever option you choose, it will fit perfectly into any look. However, you need to monitor the shape of your nails, otherwise the manicure may turn out to be untidy.

Different shades can complement the richness of burgundy. First of all, these are the classic black, white and gold. You can decorate a burgundy manicure using rubbing, powder or foil.
The combination of burgundy with silver or gold is ideal for an evening look. Regardless of the length of the nail, the manicure will look stylish and luxurious.

You can also paint any designs in gold on a burgundy background.
Burgundy and black looks mysterious and attractive. Their ratio can be the same, or you can use black to decorate the wine coating.
The white and burgundy composition looks quite bright. At the same time, burgundy favorably sets off the whiteness and seems more saturated. Stylists recommend using these colors in equal proportions.

New designs and season trends
The versatility of burgundy matte color for manicure is emphasized by its many combinations in new designs. On a matte finish, gold and silver decor, black and white patterns, and even designs using pastel shades will look stunning.
By creating accents on individual fingers using different decor, you can play with many manicure ideas. Now rhinestones and crystals are in trend, which will only emphasize the discreet luxury of burgundy matte color.
With gold
Burgundy matte nails with gold foil or sparkles will look stunning in a manicure. They will create the effect of a “starry” night or simply become an accent combination.
Dark
The dark burgundy color is saturated itself, so you should not mix it with other dark tones. But if you really want to, then you should choose black or gray for the patterns. Brown, for example, will be lost.
With rhinestones
Matte burgundy manicure with rhinestones is now in trend, so it will be combined with shiny stones. Especially if they are placed near the cuticle, shading growth.
With glitter
It is recommended to use glitter, in combination with a matte burgundy manicure, to mark a line at the ends, or to place accents to give it a “festive” look.
With black
As a rule, dark and black are not mixed. But a matte black burgundy manicure combined with gloss will look simply stunning, especially with geometric patterns.
Glossy
The combination of matte burgundy with glossy lines is suitable for a strict design, where the shine represents a “sharp” knife, emphasizing solemnity. Drawings should not be done in gloss; it is better to choose geometric patterns or simple lines.
With silver
Silver-plated burgundy nails should also not be decorated too pretentiously. This is an elegant combination, more suitable for a festive atmosphere or a romantic date.
With foil
Decorated with foil, burgundy matte nails will create a mixed effect with a touch of playfulness. The main disadvantage, which is also an advantage, is that you can easily overdo it with foil. But the resulting abstractions will look appropriate to any mood.
With white
Burgundy white matte manicure looks beautiful thanks to the contrast. Most often, patterns in the form of monograms, stamping, and stripes are used for decoration.
With beige
Light beige nude color adds lightness to the look and adds freshness. The design can be French, stripes, individual nails.
Drops
Droplets on a burgundy matte manicure are made using a glossy top coat. A small amount is taken on a thin brush and dripped in a chaotic manner.
With an image
Any pattern for burgundy matte nails can be chosen. In winter, it is, of course, recommended to choose snowflakes or other motifs. But here you should also stick to accents: choose one or two nails to apply the design, and cover the others with a solid color.
Burgundy French manicure and moon manicure
Fans of French style often choose burgundy shades. You can complement the classic design with a black or white smile stripe. This combination will add freshness to fashionable design. You can decorate a burgundy jacket with rhinestones or patterns.
A burgundy moon manicure looks catchy and unusual, as many associate this design with pastel shades. But such a deviation from generally accepted rules can advantageously emphasize the shape of the nail, adding its own flavor to the image.
For a lunar manicure, you can choose different shades of burgundy, such as wine or ruby. This design will be relevant both in work and holiday settings.
Fashion trends and new designs for burgundy jackets 2021-2022 (photo)
The burgundy jacket for the 2021-2022 season is predominantly “inverted”. The base coat is made with a dark or rich shade of this color, and the accent “smile” or hole is made light or shiny.
Other fashion trends and proposals from nail art masters regarding French manicure using burgundy color stand out:
- Any shape and size of “smile” and hole – this season they can occupy almost half of the nail plate. Neat straight lines are replaced by broken or wavy ones, with shaded edges.
- Complex designs on the bases or tips of nails are popular, including imitation of lace, braid and other fabrics.
- The most trendy color combinations of burgundy are with gold or silver, as well as black or white.
- It is recommended to dilute the burgundy jacket with 1-2 accent nails with a large pattern on top of a plain coating. Any image is considered fashionable, including seasonal and holiday themed motifs.
Additional nail design decorations with rhinestones, beads, sequins, and other decorative elements are also in trend.
Burgundy ombre
The gradient manicure technique is quite interesting and allows you to create stunning images. In this case, it is best to use burgundy in combination with black varnish. Those who find this combination too dark can apply them over a red or other top coat. Sparkles and rhinestones will help add mystery and shine to this design.
Manicure with rhinestones
A manicure in burgundy with rhinestones is a little similar to the version with gold, but it will require a little more skill and taste from the designer. If gold-plated varnish can simply be distributed over the plate, then with the help of rhinestones you will have to create compositions, harmoniously distributing these shiny details over the nail.
Rhinestones can be laid out in a line diagonally or along the plate. They can also be used to recreate a French or moonlit manicure. Rhinestones are used to decorate the hole at the base of the nail or the overgrown part. In this case, you can use both identical parts of the same color and colored glass buttons. It is important that colored rhinestones match the burgundy nail finish.
You can combine any manicure technique with rhinestones. They complement drawings and three-dimensional applications. A bright holiday option would be one of the fingernails completely covered with rhinestones. For this technique, it is important to place each piece of glass as close to its neighbors as possible, so that the resulting coating is uniform.
Cat's eye in burgundy tones
Those who like to always be the center of attention will note the impressiveness of the “cat’s eye” design on a burgundy background. This manicure is very self-sufficient in itself, so it does not require additional decoration.
To create a manicure using the cat-eye technique, you will need a special varnish with magnetic particles. Before the coating dries, you need to bring a magnet to it, which will create a unique pattern on the nail.
Matte design ideas and options
We have already looked at some of the popular designs at the moment. Now I propose to consider what else you can come up with. We remember about manicure “toys”: stamping, web gel, kamifubuki, glitter, which will decorate or complement the overall picture.
Two topcoats with different effects (shine and matte) already allow you to play with contrast, if we take a French coat and highlight the smile area (not necessarily a smile) with gloss, and the rest, on the contrary, the hands will be luxurious.
Burgundy nails with rhinestones, for example, in the lunula area, or lay out diagonally along the entire length of the nail (on a square shape, looks good).
A little more about ombre, the black-burgundy transition causes a mesmerizing effect, and if there is no difference in the sequence with pastel colors, then it is worth observing it.
It’s difficult to design with very short nails; in other cases it can be twigs, flowers, or simple monogram patterns.
For festive designs, you can use gold and silver; golden Christmas trees on a burgundy background or a light ombre of silver sparkles on the tip of the nail will add to the mood.
Don’t forget that you can make all the fingers a single color, except for two or three on which various designs will be applied; you can weave in dark red shades there, or you can simply combine everything with a matte finish. Take a look at this photo selection if you don’t like anything from the examples above:
Burgundy manicure with drawings
The burgundy base is great for applying designs. These can be simple flowers, leaves, berries, cobwebs, etc. If you do not have artistic talent and are not confident that you can draw a beautiful pattern yourself, you can use stickers or stamping.
A manicure with painted cherries will be relevant in the summer. Christmas tree decorations can decorate a New Year's manicure. A heart drawn in burgundy will be relevant for Valentine's Day. And the cobweb drawn on a burgundy background will allow you to become the star of a Halloween themed party.
Nail length
The beauty of the coating and length, these two concepts are closely related to each other, because you can have an ideal manicure with the most fashionable design, but the length is unsuitable for your hands, or, on the contrary, a wonderful length, but such a disgusting state of the cuticle and coating that the impression is terrible .
Before you start putting your hands in order, study your hands and nails, then look at the photo and read the necessary information to understand what length is yours. Even if you are going to go to the salon, do not be lazy, read, so you can find out the competence of the master when performing the procedure.
Short
On short nails, it is better to try either not to make an accent, or to do it in such a way as to visually decorate the hands. Gloss will be your savior, because due to the play of light with beautiful highlights, the short length is not so striking.
You can decorate your nails with a cat eye effect, or with a matte finish. You need to be more careful with other decorations, although you don’t have to be afraid of minimalism and playing with rubbing.
Average
On medium-length nails, you can already play with the shape and be bolder with designs. Square nails with short length also look good if the nail bed is long enough. The almond shape with medium length will visually elongate the handle, and the burgundy color will add elegance.
Due to the fact that the “canvas” becomes larger, you can create more designs on it. All that remains is to take into account the fullness of the hand and fingers, length, etc.
Maximum
Long nails are an excellent canvas for a matte effect, even with a plain finish. With the form, everything will depend on desire and your characteristics.
By the way, on a separate shelf you can put sharp burgundy-colored marigolds under a matte top; this has attractive notes, and even gothic ones. One thing is for sure, the pens will not go unnoticed.
In terms of designs, everything depends on your or the master’s imagination.
Decorating a burgundy manicure
Some believe that the use of rhinestones in creating manicures has already lost its relevance. But designers are rushing to prove the opposite using the example of a burgundy manicure.
In addition to pebbles, burgundy manicure can be decorated with pieces of foil. Regardless of whether you choose a golden or silver shade of foil, you will get a spectacular scattering of glass shards on burgundy nails.
Sugar coating will look creative on a burgundy background.
The simplest option for decorating a manicure will be stickers. Here you don’t need to bother with drawing the pattern; just use ready-made stencils or glue the selected picture.
Even if we are talking about such a rich color as burgundy, you should not be afraid to experiment when using it in nail art. The right combination with other shades and decor will allow you to create a stylish and bright manicure that will not go unnoticed.
