Blush and burgundy are one of those can’t-fail combos, which is likely why these hues are such popular wedding colors. Aside from working beautifully for bridesmaid dresses, florals, and decor, these two hues make bridal manicure magic. Two-color nails in pink and burgundy look perfect with cream satin and lace, which is why we think this look is so stunning for brides–especially in fall.
This romantic color combo not only bridges the gap between spring/summer and fall/winter, but it’s a modern wedding manicure option that’s sleek, sophisticated and sexy. Pink and burgundy effuse a romantic mood that can perfectly complement a bridal party palette or even the bridal bouquet.
Don’t get us wrong: This manicure isn’t only wedding-appropriate. In these timeless hues, you can rock the two-color nail polish trend for special occasions or to chic up your everyday look. Either way, your nails and this color combo make a perfect pair.
Blush and Burgundy Two-Color Nails
Supplies:
- Burgundy nail polish (I used Veque polish in Opera)
- Highly-pigmented blush nail polish (I used Veque polish in Ristretto)
- Top coat (I like Essie’s Gel-Setter
Instructions:
- Paint the nail using burgundy polish in a single thick coat, and let dry for 5 minutes.
- Use a high-pigmented blush color and paint the nail in the same shape you would normally, except start about halfway up from the base of the nail to keep a border of burgundy polish at the base as shown.
- Paint another coat of blush polish if color is thin or you want to even out your work. Let dry for about 5 minutes and add your favorite top coat!
