25 Burgundy Nail Ideas For a Sumptuous Early Fall Manicure

If red polish is a classic manicure staple, consider burgundy nails its elegant, more refined sister. Cherry red is an obvious choice, practically a neutral by manicure standards, but it’s not exactly a universally flattering shade. (Controversial statement, we know.) Burgundy polish, however, complements pretty much every skin tone, nail shape, and length. Plus, its darker, earthier presence, offers a depth that transcends seasons, from beautifully accenting white summer linens to really grounding as the temperatures begin to fall.

The sultry color is gorgeously effective all on its own but lends itself nicely to intricate nail art and even more maximal trends. Don’t believe us? Scroll on for some of our favorite burgundy manicures.
