A Valentine nail idea that’s pretty, girly, and a little bit edgy? Yes, yes, and yes, please. Burgundy and rose gold nails with an abstract camo pattern are the perfect beauty look for V-Day. Between the graphic, contrasty design and the romantic color combo, this nail art is apropros for love’s big day–and cool enough to wear long after February 14 has come and gone.

These bold camo nails will steal the show and make a statement on your next special night out. Using a sweet, feminine palette of burgundy and rose gold, on a neutral-colored base, results in a nail design with dimension.

Want to recreate this Valentine nail idea yourself? Follow the tutorial steps ahead!

Burgundy and Rose Gold Nails

Supplies:

Soft blushy-neutral nail polish (I used Veque’s Benisse)
Deep burgundy/maroon nail polish (I used Sally Hansen’s Beet It)
Rose gold nail polish (I used Sally Hansen’s Golden Quartz)
Top coat (I used KB Shimmer’s Clearly On Top Quick Dry Top Coat)

Instructions:

Paint one coat of soft neutral polish on the nail and wait five minutes to dry.
Using the burgundy polish, paint randomized half circles and round shapes around the border of the nail (the brush is wide which will make curvy shapes easier), similar to the picture as shown.
Repeat drawing curved shapes on the border of the nail, this time using the rose gold nail polish, similar to the design as shown.
Wait for the nail art to dry for a few minutes, then finish with a coat of your favorite top coat.
