Choosing the right burgundy gel polish shade for your skin tone

Burgundy nail colour is one of the rare shades that flatters almost every skin tone, but certain nuances will look even more harmonious depending on your complexion.

• Fair skin: Cool tones with slight violet or wine reflections create an elegant contrast. Shades like Violeta or Hollyhock illuminate the skin while adding chic depth.
• Medium and olive skin: Warm, ruby nuances close to a burgundy red showcase golden undertones beautifully. Dark Pansy is a safe bet for a rich, vibrant look.
• Dark skin: Intense colours blend beautifully, such as Aubergine or Prune, which create a spectacular velvet effect.

Your shade can also be chosen according to nail length: on short nails, a deep burgundy brings a modern elegance. On long nails, the colour reveals its full intensity and makes a bolder statement.

Manicure inspiration and colour combinations for burgundy gel polish

Burgundy gel polish offers an endless playground for nail artists and minimalists alike. Its versatility makes it just as suitable for classic looks as for more intricate creations.

For a sophisticated look, metallic pairings work wonders. A burgundy like Dark Pansy accented with a touch of gold delivers a luxurious result, ideal for an evening out or an elegant outfit. Nude paired with a shade like Violeta softens the depth of burgundy and creates a modern contrast. Deep blacks like Hollyhock enhance a glam-rock edge, while a crisp white alongside an Aubergine accent provides a very graphic, minimalist finish.

When it comes to trends, burgundy is perfect for:

• An ultra-fine burgundy French manicure;
• A glazed powder for a shimmering velvet effect;
• A monochrome look transitioning from red to plum;
• A marbled accent nail, especially on trend for 2025.

A burgundy red manicure works in every season: deep in autumn, sophisticated in winter, intense and luminous in summer when contrasted against sun-kissed skin.
