Unlock Pinterest Perfection: 7 Gorgeous Burgundy and Gold Nail Designs You Can Create at Home

1. Classic Glossy Burgundy with Gold Foil Accent

This first look is a fantastic entry point. It features chic, medium-length square burgundy nails with a high-gloss finish. The elegance comes from the simplicity, elevated by a single gold foil accent nail on the ring finger. The contrast between the smooth, deep burgundy and the textured, metallic gold is just stunning. This design is incredibly versatile and works beautifully for both everyday wear and special occasions.

• Get the Look at Home:
  1. Start by prepping your nails: file them into your desired square shape, push back cuticles, and apply your base coat ☍ .
  2. Apply two thin coats of your favorite glossy burgundy nail polish ☍ to all nails except the ring finger, letting each coat dry thoroughly (or curing if using gel). Apply the burgundy polish to the ring finger as well.
  3. Once the burgundy on the ring finger is dry/cured, apply a thin layer of nail foil glue ☍ over a portion of the nail – you can cover half, dab it randomly, or concentrate it near the cuticle or tip. Let the glue become tacky (it usually turns clear).
  4. Press a piece of gold nail foil ☍ , shiny side up, firmly onto the tacky glue. Rub it gently with your finger or a cotton swab, then quickly peel the foil sheet away. The gold should transfer onto the glued areas. Repeat if needed for more coverage.
  5. Finish all nails with a high-shine glossy top coat ☍ to seal the design and add that gorgeous luster.
