Burgundy nails are everywhere this fall and winter, no surprise there – the shade is rich, moody, and looks good on everyone. It’s sitting right up there with other 2025 deep red obsessions like cherry red, maroon and cherry mocha, but burgundy’s versatility is what keeps it in every nail girlie’s rotation. Whether you’re going glossy, chrome, or loading it up with trendy accents, this beauty works for every aesthetic. Here’s all the inspo you need to wear burgundy right this season.
1. Burgundy Chrome
If you’re only hopping on one nail trend this fall/winter, make it burgundy chrome. It’s deep, dramatic, and super-shiny – exactly what you want peeking out from under your sweater sleeves.
2. Blooming Gel Flowers
The 2025 blooming gel flower craze is not slowing down just because it’s coat season. Drop a single, soft-blurred bloom on your set for a nail-art moment that pops but still lets that deep, sultry red be the star.
3. Line Art
When you’re not in the mood for full-on nail art but still want compliments, this is it. Go reddish-purple on most nails, then add one milky accent with a slim burgundy line and a strip of gold foil.
4. Rhinestone Accents
If you want your nails to feel both dramatic and extra cute, this is the way. Keep most solid, then add a couple of French tips for negative space contrast. Finish with cuticle rhinestones for that perfect bit of sparkle.
5. Burgundy French
Classic French, but swap the white for a burgundy smile line. Instantly more seasonal, instantly more interesting. Works on every nail shape, but almond tips make that wine tone look extra rich.
6. Metallic Accents
Chrome accents are huge in 2025, and they work perfectly with burgundy. Go for an aura base, then add silver French tips, outlines and celestial details. Instant dimension, instant sparkle. ✨
7. Bows & Sparkles
Burgundy is THE backdrop for 3D bows and star twinkles. The moody base keeps the cutesy details from looking sugary, so you can live in both the dark-nail trend and coquette mania at the same time.
8. Cherry Art
Tiny cherry accents on burgundy nails? Too good to pass up. This mani nails the balance between deep, earthy color and playful detail – plus, cherries are still one of the biggest nail art trends of the year.
9. Ombre Design
Burgundy ombre is peak cold-weather energy. Fade that deep red shade into clear, then glaze it with chrome powder for a moody gradient that catches the light. Two major 2025 trends in one set, and it looks flawless every time.
10. Accent French Tips
When full-color set feels too safe and art feels too much, split the difference. Half your nails in glossy solids, the rest with French tips. It breaks up the color block while keeping the wine shade the main event.
11. Mix & Match
Mix-and-match manis are still in play for the colder months. Layer in animal print, florals, cut-out French tips, and gold beads for that perfect mix of pretty and dramatic – deep red will pull it all together.
12. Floral Nails
Bestie, floral art in fall and winter? Absolutely. Slap dainty blooms on one feature nail over that moody base and suddenly the whole set has this sweet little “aww, she’s cute and seasonal” moment.
13. Solid Burgundy
Sometimes the flex is a perfect single-color set. Glossy burgundy nails are that “can’t mess it up” classic – the pigment is dense, it flatters every skin tone, and it makes even the shortest nails look polished.
14. Polka Dots
The polka-dot nail trend translates perfectly into the cooler months with burgundy. Pair it with beige, alternate the color between Frenchies, and dot it all over. Add a flower accent if you want extra vintage cuteness.
15. Negative Space
Negative space is your cheat code for making deep colors feel lighter. Keep most nails full burgundy, but add side swoops on a couple nails to break up the color wall without losing the cozy berry vibes.
16. Burgundy & Gold
Gold is burgundy’s best friend. Keep most nails full-coverage, then swirl in gold chrome lines on an accent nail or two. The warm metallic bounces light off the red base and gives it that sparkle-season glam.
17. Aura Fade
Burgundy aura mani? A full serve. The smoky fade makes the color look layered and rich, like it’s glowing from inside, and it takes burgundy from pretty to absolutely show-stopping. You need this set in your life.
18. Abstract Nails
Deep red aura again, but we’re not stopping there. No ma’am, we’re throwing in abstract line art too. It’s giving artsy-girl in the best way – you get the soft gradient glow and those graphic lines make every angle look different.
19. Micro Art
Micro accents are everywhere in 2025, and for burgundy, micro dots are the cutest match. Alternate between dark red and nude nails with accent dots near the cuticle. A small detail that gives your set an editorial vibe.
20. Tortoise Shell
Tortoise nails take over the second temps drop, and 2025 is no different. That warm, vintage-coded pattern next to rich burgundy is peak fall nail energy. And if you want extra NailTok cred, sneak in a tiny cherry accent.
21. Cat-Eye Effect
Cat-eye effect hits different in darker hues, pulling every ounce of drama out of the shade. So, deep red base, magnetic polish, and you’re done – you get shimmer, depth, and that light-beam flash every time you move your hands.
22. 3D Flowers
3D nail art is huge in 2025, so why not give burgundy the textured treatment? Mix solids, Frenchies, and pink bases, then pile on 3D gel petals and raised swirls until your set is serving trendy-girlie perfection.
23. Swirls & Glitter
Most nails stay full-color, but the accents are where it’s at – dusty pink base, a burgundy swirl, and gold glitter tracing the curve. If you want something elegant and festive, this is your burgundy manicure.
24. Animal Print
The wild side of burgundy? Leopard or cheetah print accents. You get just enough pattern to be interesting without committing your whole set to it, and yes, animal print is still holding strong in the trend cycle.
25. Heart Art
Mixed layout of full-color nails and Frenchies again, but this time we’re adding an accent heart because we’re cute like that. Just a little detail, but it makes a big difference – perfect for living your best girly-girl life.
26. Dark Burgundy
This is burgundy at its most luxe. That deep base paired with just a touch of gold detail makes for a perfect nail-jewelry moment – the kind of look that works with literally every outfit you’ll wear this fall and winter.
27. Pearl Nails
Classy girlies, your next set is calling. Take those burgundy French tips and give them a pearl glow-up – the rich wine shade plus pearly accents is the easiest way to make your nails look extra fancy this season.
28. Celestial Nails
Reddish-brown base topped with metallic starbursts and a pearl stickers – it’s the star-girl nail-art all dressed up for cozy season. Those metallic flashes will make your nails a total double-take moment.
29. Burgundy & Neutrals
Burgundy nails mixed with beige and gold glitter give you the full package – dimension, sparkle, and contrast. The neutrals make the red stand out even more, and the gold pulls everything together for the ultimate sparkle-season look.
30. Short Nails
Full-color burgundy always works on short nails, but if you want more nail art cred, mix in negative space swirls and swirl accents. The curved detail gives movement to the set without crowding the shorter length.
TPI’s Polish Recs
If you’re stuck on which polish to grab, these are my personal ride-or-dies. OPI Malaga Wine is that perfect deep red that goes with everything, while Essie Wicked leans a little maroon and brings all the rich drama you want for fall and winter. And for those days you’re craving a hint of shimmer, Zoya Blair is an absolute stunner.
