Why Is Everyone Obsessed With Burgundy This Season?

It’s worth noting that this isn’t a particularly new fad. In fact, it happens pretty much yearly. Our newfound love of burgundy make a reappearance just as the leaves change, with the shift in season urging us to swap out summery brights for the rich, warm tones associated with fall.

But this year, the specific shade of red is more popular than ever. A leading hue in streetstyle and salons, burgundy has influenced a number of fashion, hair, makeup and various other beauty trends this season. And now, it’s made its way into the hands of nail techs.

Salons are giving this seasonal trend the timeless treatment by combining it with this year’s go-to nail look: French tips. The classic French manicure has proved time and again its resilience in the face of the trend cycle – and the addition of burgundy makes the mani feel all the more fresh and relevant.

How To Wear The Trend

You can go elegant and classy with a simple burgundy French manicure – with nails shaped in almond, square or rounded sets. Or, if you want to bring a little more modernity to the table, you can add some abstract shapes, double line your tips, introduce different textures or even embellish each nail with pearls, ribbons and gemstones.

And, with Christmas around the corner, you can carry your burgundy French manicure into party season with the addition of glitter and chrome finishes.

How To Ask For A Burgundy French Manicure In The Salon

If you’re sticking to a classic design, then this will be a fairly simple manicure set to request. Ask you nail tech for a French manicure with deep burgundy tips. From there, you can use the tech’s selection of polishes to narrow down the colour.

If you’re after something a little more extravagant, then you’ll need some reference photos. Collect a few images on Instagram and Pinterest of nail designs you like, and together you and your nail tech can pick one to recreate in the salon.
