Today there are many options for designing fingernails and toenails. The tricks of fashionistas and designers are amazing. And what colors are not involved in this! We decided to devote this article to one of the most popular shades for decades - burgundy.
With rhinestones
Slightly more extravagant people resort to a different way of emphasizing their pedicure - using rhinestones of different sizes and multi-colored stones. Orderliness or chaos in their display is a personal matter for everyone. You can strew the entire nail with stones or, conversely, glue one sparkling crystal to one of the fingers in the center of the surface.
Gel polish
The use of special tools and devices allows the pedicure to last much longer (up to a month). Applying gel polish requires a little skill, since the product is quite liquid and can get on the skin of your fingers, and the red pigment is firmly embedded in the surface. To do this, you can smear your fingers with a thick cream or use a thinner brush. Gel polish allows you to apply all kinds of designs and decorate your nails.
Popular shades
A burgundy pedicure means a single-color coating of nails with a rich red color. Moreover, this shade has two varieties at once, which are most popular among the fair sex. We are talking about wine and dark burgundy colors.
Maroon.
The design of dark shades of burgundy is a coating that in color leans more toward brown. This tone goes best with decorative black and white patterns. As for the holiday theme, dark burgundy is not the best option. This color is more suitable for a single-color coating and creating a classic, everyday pedicure for the fair sex who values restraint and elegance. Even without additional elements, dark burgundy looks dignified, expensive and noble.
Wine Bordeaux.
The wine shade is very similar to dark burgundy. It differs only in its redder tint, which is noticeable mainly in the sun and when a matte finish is applied. This tone is considered more fatal and mysterious. It goes best with gold, silver and emerald. The shade also looks advantageous when creating a gradient from a wine tone to a dark burgundy or even black.
Color combination.
It was said earlier that choosing a harmonious combination for the perfect burgundy pedicure is quite problematic. But if you are not satisfied with the monochromatic coating option, then you can use universal additional shades that look harmonious with strict burgundy.
White.
White is a universal color when creating a pedicure. It goes with almost any varnish due to its purity. An exception are shades of burgundy, which have a positive attitude towards white and look good with it on nails of any shape.
White color can be used as an additional shade or an equal shade. The first version of nail design involves diluting a plain burgundy finish with white patterns, ornaments, and stones. The equal use of such varnish is to paint the entire nail (ring and/or little finger). This design looks quite restrained, stylish and original.
Gold.
If you want to make a burgundy pedicure more festive, elegant and noble, dilute the burgundy with gold. These two shades go perfectly together (as long as you use the complementary color sparingly). Gold can be presented both in the form of patterns and in the form of rhinestones. The first option is more casual, the second is festive.
Silver.
The opposite of gold, silver can also be used when decorating nails with burgundy color. Silver shades are calmer and more restrained. It is recommended to complement plain burgundy with silver patterns, stones, and designs when creating a summer pedicure. Silver will make the design a little lighter and fresher.
Benefits of salon treatments
It happens that visiting a salon turns out to be an even more profitable solution than carrying out the manipulations yourself. For example, before going on vacation, such a step may be the only right one. Why carry a suitcase with everything you need? Why steal precious time from the sun and the beach if you can solve the issue of a pedicure a couple of weeks in advance before leaving?
The work performed by the master will look aesthetically pleasing and will serve faithfully for quite a long time. How much does a pedicure cost in a salon? The price depends mainly on the means used, as well as the region of residence. For example, a modest craftswoman from the provinces will offer her services for 400-550 rubles. But a guest of the capital’s salon will have to shell out at least 2,000 rubles. But in the second case, the quality can be many times higher.
When choosing a master, pay attention to reviews and photos in the portfolio.
Popular Design Ideas
Once you have chosen the colors and coating technique, all that remains is to choose the final design. Lovers of the classics will be able to be content with a monochromatic glossy varnish of rich color. But to make the pedicure more original, you will have to dilute the burgundy shade with additional elements. You can use one of the most popular options...
With rhinestones.
Bordeaux and rhinestones are already a fashionable pedicure. The fact is that this shade itself is noble. It requires an appropriate cut (gold, jewelry). And neat rhinestones perfectly complement it in this sense. Small stones of white, emerald or golden color can decorate the base of the nail or create an original pattern. When designing, you should be guided by personal preferences in fashion trends.
With glitter.
Another option for cutting an elegant burgundy is sparkles. With a shiny, loose mixture, you can paint the entire nail (for example, only the ring finger) or partially (creating an imitation of lunar nail art). The main condition is to know when to stop. Do not overload the already rich burgundy with bright decor. If you want to decorate all your nails with glitter, then cover them with a matte top coat. In this case, the design will look more neat and stylish.
With an image.
If you want to decorate a burgundy with a pattern, then you will have to choose from several options: plants (roses, poppies, tulips), decor (snowflakes, bows, lips), standard patterns. You can use both sliders and hand painting. The most common and already classic combination is Bordeaux with a glass of wine, stems with flowers and bows.
Burgundy color in pedicure is an ideal option for both long and short nails. The rich shade looks good on any shape and almost instantly raises the self-esteem and mood of its owner. Masters are constantly creating new, unique paintings with this tone. Don't forget to follow the latest pedicure trends and create the best nail designs!
Preparatory procedures
Surely many have thought more than once about how much a pedicure costs in a salon, and then decided that it would be nice to learn how to do everything on their own. There is a rational grain in this approach.
What does a beginner need to remember? First of all, you cannot start painting until your nails are in perfect condition. Burgundy in this regard is more capricious than many other shades. He will certainly highlight all the shortcomings.
Therefore, before you start, thoroughly treat the skin, get rid of dead cells, tidy up the cuticles, and sharpen the ends. It is also advisable to treat the surface of the nails with a sanding buff. If necessary and if you feel dry, lubricate your feet with nourishing cream, being careful not to get it on your nails. Before applying varnish, the nail plates must be thoroughly degreased.
Techniques used
Burgundy pedicure is not limited to plain varnish. Modern techniques allow you to create unique designs using rich and fatal shades. Transitions, partial painting, matte coating - all this makes the final result more original and interesting.
French.
We are all accustomed to French manicure using a white shade. This design looks very gentle, unobtrusive and discreet. Now imagine the same classic French jacket created with the help of burgundy: bright, original and even a little daring, but no worse!
The burgundy French pedicure is considered a stylish design that is ideal for girls who cannot decide between classic and flashy. A small strip of rich, noble shade on the edge of the nail instantly attracts the eye and arouses genuine interest. This covering option is perfect for those ladies who are not afraid to attract attention.
Ombre.
The transition from almost black to a wine shade is stylish, catchy and sexy. Ombre is a real trend of the season, which is preferred by an increasing number of representatives of the fair sex. This is due to the originality of the design and its shimmer, provided it has a glossy finish. The matte pedicure looks no less stylish. But in this case, the beauty of the iridescence is replaced by an unusual transition from dark and light shades. In any case, burgundy ombre is a stylish option for confident girls.
Lunar.
An alternative to the classic French jacket is a stylish moon pedicure. In this case, almost the entire nail is painted - only its base remains clean. This pedicure option is not suitable for those with short nails. For its harmonious appearance, a sufficient area of the nail plate is required. At the same time, lunar pedicure design (like lunar manicure) looks good when adding rhinestones.
With an image
You can create an interesting pedicure by applying drawings. This can be achieved with brushes, using stencils or a sponge - it depends on what final version is expected to be seen on the nails.
French
It is not recommended to apply a burgundy jacket (with a dark base) in a contrasting design - the nails will look much shorter, creating the impression of being chopped off. However, there are two ways to create a good French pedicure using burgundy varnish:
- a silver or golden stripe drawn parallel to the tip of the nail is applied to the dark surface;
- The burgundy tip is applied to a transparent or light base.
Lunar
All the same rules can be applied to a new product in the field of nail design - lunar pedicure. A burgundy hole on a transparent background will look poor, violating the harmonious concept of the entire image. A light recess on a dark background looks much more interesting. For this, all colors that match burgundy are used.
Ombre
Due to their self-sufficiency, very few colors can complement burgundy without allowing it to become dominant. For this reason, 2 shades of burgundy are used as two varnishes when creating a gradient - a less saturated one and a darker one, going into black.
#1 Solid red pedicure 2022
A monochromatic design is one of the most advantageous options for nail decoration. Choose dark shades of red for your manicure: burgundy, wine, cherry, eggplant and others.
If desired, you can complement the pedicure with a scattering of rhinestones in the root zone. A pedicure with gel polish and glitter looks great. This design does not require additional decor. Due to the shiny granules in the gel polish, it looks more interesting and brighter.
#2 Matte red pedicure
With the onset of the autumn-winter season, the popularity of matte pedicure increases in many ways. A matte red pedicure looks gentle and beautiful, especially if it is complemented with rhinestones, kamifubuki or bouillons.
Matte red pedicure goes well with silver and gold glitter. Place the glitter in the root zone, highlight it with a lunar design, and make streaks or smudges with silver sparkles.
