Sorry, Neutral Nails—I'll Be Opting for These Expensive-Looking Nail Designs This Month

As much as I love neutral nail trend or a good ol' minimalist French mani, there's one nail colour that I know I can rely on without fail if I want to make my manicure to look ultra expensive, and it's burgundy.

There is something so elegant about this deep purplish red hue, and much like glossy black and deep chocolate brown shades, this colour always comes back into style as an autumn nail trend.

Although I love a simple burgundy manicure, after having a look on Google Trends, I've noticed more and more people searching for burgundy nail designs this season. We've definitely become more experimental with our manicures over the past few months, so I totally understand why everyone is looking for a new, fun way to wear the burgundy nail trend. (The burgundy French-tip manicure is a particular favourite.)

Luckily for you, I've found lots of amazing burgundy nail designs that are bound to earn you endless compliments. From chic French tips to abstract nail art, I've included something for everyone, so if you're looking for a new way to wear this expensive-looking nail colour, keep on scrolling for all the inspo you could ever need...
