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

4. Regal Burgundy & Gold Glitter Floral Accents

This manicure feels absolutely regal! It features a mix of coffin-shaped nails (or long squareletto). Some nails showcase a deep, slightly shimmery burgundy, others are full-on dazzling gold glitter, and some combine the burgundy base with intricate gold glitter floral or leaf-like designs creeping up from the cuticles. There’s also a beautiful gradient nail fading from nude near the cuticle to burgundy at the tip, also accented with gold glitter details at the base. This is definitely a more intricate look, perfect for holidays or a glamorous event.

• Get the Look at Home:
  1. Prep nails (coffin shape is shown) and apply base coat ☍ .
  2. Apply your chosen burgundy polish ☍ (perhaps one with a subtle shimmer) to some nails.
  3. Apply full coverage gold glitter polish ☍ to other nails (using the sponge technique helps here).
  4. For the floral accent nails: Apply the burgundy base. Once dry, use a fine nail art brush ☍ dipped in gold glitter polish (or gold acrylic paint mixed with a bit of top coat for better control) to draw delicate leaf or floral shapes starting near the cuticle and extending upwards. A dotting tool ☍ can help create small dots within the design.
  5. For the gradient nail: Apply a nude base ☍ . While still slightly tacky (or using a makeup sponge), apply the burgundy polish to the tip and blend it upwards slightly into the nude. This takes practice! Alternatively, apply the nude base, let it dry, then sponge the burgundy onto the tip. Once the gradient is dry, add the gold glitter details near the cuticle as described above.
  6. Seal all designs carefully with a glossy top coat ☍ .
