Okay I’m obsessed with burgundy nails but mine always end up looking like I murdered someone which is not the vibe I’m going for. Tried doing them myself last week and used way too much polish so they looked all chunky and weird.
My roommate took one look and said “did you dip your fingers in paint” which honestly wasn’t far off from what happened in my bathroom disaster zone.
Went to get them done professionally and the nail lady kept asking if I was sure about the color like I was about to make some terrible life choice. Now I have them and they’re gorgeous but I keep second-guessing myself because my ex used to say dark nail polish was “trying too hard” and apparently his dumb opinions are still living rent-free in my head.
These nail ideas are what actually looks good without making you question every decision you’ve ever made or look like you belong in a horror movie.
Here are my absolute favorite burgundy nails and I’m so sure you’ll love them too.
