12 Burgundy French Tip Nails
Burgundy French tip nail ideas: micro French, deep smile lines, velvet tips, burgundy with gold, matte, V-tips and double lines on short and almond nails.
The palette
A burgundy French tip takes the year's favourite dark red and puts it on the one line that always looks clean. It is festive enough for December, smart enough for work, and it carries on looking right until February.
Because the base is sheer, burgundy tips also grow out gracefully. You can wear them for three weeks without the regrowth gap that comes with a full dark manicure.
How to choose your burgundy French
Tip width: a micro French is subtle and modern. A deep smile line shows off more colour and suits almond nails.
Base: sheer pink is soft and flattering. A milky base looks brighter. A nude that matches your skin makes fingers look longer.
Finish: gloss is classic. Velvet and chrome tips look more festive.
