I love neutral nails, but if there's one nail polish that I know I can rely on to make my manicure look ultra expensive, it's burgundy. There is something so elegant about this deep purplish red hue, and much like glossy black and deep chocolate brown shades, this colour always comes back into style every autumn. In fact, this year we are also seeing burgundy take over the fashion world, with everyone opting for chic burgundy handbags, ballet flats and knitwear.
Although I love a simple burgundy manicure, after having a look on Google Trends, I've noticed more and more people searching for burgundy nail designs this season. We've definitely become more experimental with our manicures over the past few months, so I totally understand why everyone is looking for a new, fun way to wear the burgundy nail trend.
Luckily for you, I've found lots of amazing burgundy nail designs that are bound to earn you endless compliments. From chic French tips to abstract nail art, I've included something for everyone, so if you're looking for a new way to wear this expensive-looking nail colour, keep on scrolling for all the inspo you could ever need...
