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

3. Elegant Almond Nails: Burgundy, Nude & Gold Gradient

This design is pure elegance on long almond nails. It beautifully combines solid glossy burgundy, solid glossy nude, and accent nails featuring a stunning gold glitter gradient over the nude base. The mix-and-match approach keeps things interesting, while the almond shape adds a touch of sophisticated drama. The glitter gradient provides that perfect touch of sparkle without being overwhelming. I particularly love how the glitter seems to ‘cascade’ down the nail.

• Get the Look at Home:
  1. Shape your nails into an almond silhouette and apply your base coat ☍ .
  2. Apply two coats of glossy burgundy polish ☍ to your index and pinky fingers.
  3. Apply two coats of a creamy nude polish ☍ to your middle and ring fingers (and thumb, if matching the picture’s pattern). Let all nails dry/cure.
  4. For the glitter gradient nails (ring finger and thumb in the image): Take your gold glitter polish ☍ . Apply a denser amount of glitter near the cuticle area and use the brush (or a sponge) to lightly drag/dab the glitter downwards, making it sparser towards the tip. You might need a couple of layers to build the gradient effect, letting each dry slightly in between.
  5. Finish all nails with a high-shine glossy top coat ☍ for a cohesive, polished look.
