This Rich-Looking Colour Combination Is Taking Over Our Party-Season Manicures

When it comes to nail art designs that exude elegance, few combinations are as chic as burgundy and gold, IMO. Not only is this combo a sophisticated winter nail trend I've been seeing a lot of lately, but these two rich-looking shades strike the perfect balance between sophistication and sparkle—perfect festive soirées to everyday winter manis. Burgundy, with its rich, wine-toned depth, acts as a luxurious base to perfectly complement the gold nail art accents, which adds that eye-catching sparkle we all fall for during the lead up to the party season.
One thing that makes burgundy and gold so irresistible is their versatility. Whether you’re into sleek minimalist looks with a hint of shimmer (think a gold French tip) or bold, intricate designs that command attention, this duo has you covered. Gilded French tips, metallic foil nail art and ombré gradients are great nail art options to wear these two luxe shades together. Of course, they're ideal as a party season manicure but are equally stunning year-round to elevate your manicure too.
