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

5. Matte Burgundy with Gold Glitter Lunar French Tips

I adore the modern twist on classic designs here! This look features short, rounded square nails with a sophisticated matte burgundy base. The accent is a chic reverse French or lunar manicure, where a crescent of fine gold glitter hugs the cuticle line. There’s also a full accent nail in a complementary pale gold or champagne glitter. The matte finish on the burgundy really makes the gold glitter pop.

• Get the Look at Home:
  1. Prep your nails and apply a base coat ☍ .
  2. Apply two coats of burgundy polish ☍ to the nails that will have the lunar tip.
  3. Apply two coats of a fine pale gold/champagne glitter polish ☍ to your chosen accent nail (e.g., the ring finger).
  4. Let the burgundy nails dry completely. Then, using a very fine nail art brush ☍ , carefully paint a thin crescent moon shape along the cuticle line with the same gold glitter polish used on the accent nail. French tip guide stickers designed for the cuticle area can also be helpful here if you have them.
  5. Once everything is perfectly dry, apply a matte top coat ☍ over the burgundy nails and the gold crescent. Apply either a glossy or matte top coat to the full glitter nail, depending on your preference (glossy often enhances glitter).
