Why is Dark Burgundy of interest to a nail technician?
When putting together a collection of professional semi-permanent nail polishes, it’s a good idea to start with versatile colours.
The must-haves generally include:
- nude;
- Milky;
- white;
- red;
- burgundy;
- pink;
- brown ;
- black.
Dark Bordeaux perfectly complements this palette.
It is equally suited to a client looking for a classic manicure as it is to a more on-trend request, such as a French manicure, nail art or a very intense glossy finish.
For a nail salon, this is therefore a colour that is easy to incorporate into a range of services.
Dark burgundy on short nails
Burgundy looks particularly elegant on short natural nails.
You don’t need to have very long nails to enjoy a deep colour.
For short nails, try, for example:
Short, rounded nails
A full burgundy manicure with a glossy finish.
Short square
Dark burgundy creates a more graphic and structured finish.
Squoval
The blend of square and rounded shapes offers a modern and easy-to-wear look.
A dark colour applied neatly to short nails can create a very elegant and minimalist manicure.
Dark Bordeaux on almond-shaped nails
The almond shape works particularly well with deep shades.
Dark Bordeaux visually accentuates the shape of the nail and creates a sophisticated look.
You can create:
- a glossy burgundy manicure;
- a burgundy micro-French manicure;
- a nude base with burgundy details;
- gold nail art;
- a burgundy and milky manicure;
- an accent nail effect.
For a simpler manicure, a solid colour with a glossy top coat is all you need to create an elegant look.
French Bordeaux: an alternative to the white French manicure
The French manicure doesn’t necessarily have to be white.
A Dark Bordeaux French Manicure gives this technique a modern twist whilst retaining a refined look.
Try:
Nude base micro-French Dark Bordeaux
or
Milky base French Bordeaux
On short nails, opt for a thin line so as not to make the nail appear shorter.
On almond-shaped or longer nails, you can create a slightly more defined French manicure.
Dark Bordeaux and Milky: an elegant combination
Milky white and burgundy make an excellent combination.
The Milky shade brings light, whilst the burgundy adds depth.
A few ideas:
- 3 Milky nails 2 Dark Bordeaux;
- Milky base Bordeaux French tip;
- Milky with a thin Bordeaux line;
- Dark Bordeaux with a Milky accent nail;
- Minimalist Bordeaux nail art on a milky base.
This combination also allows you to offer a burgundy manicure to clients who do not wish to wear a dark colour on all their nails.
Dark burgundy and gold
For a more sophisticated finish, burgundy can be paired with a few gold details.
You can add:
- a thin metallic line;
- a small gold leaf;
- some glitter;
- an accent nail;
- a minimalist geometric detail.
The contrast between the deep burgundy and the gold creates a look that’s particularly suited to festive occasions, events or evening manicures.
Dark Burgundy or Bordeaux Red: what’s the difference?
LuluNails offers several shades in the red and burgundy range.
The choice depends on the desired result.
Dark Bordeaux
Best chosen if you’re looking for a deeper, more intense colour.
Burgundy Red
An excellent option if you want to retain more of the red tone.
Elegant Burgundy
Another sophisticated variation within the Bordeaux family.
Bordeaux Brown
A shade that blends the warmth of brown with the depth of red more effectively.
Having several similar shades allows a professional to offer exactly the right colour to suit each client’s style and skin tone.
How do you apply LuluNails Dark Bordeaux Semi-Permanent Nail Polish?
Dark colours require precise application as even small imperfections can be more noticeable.
Step 1: prepare the nail
Start by:
- push back the cuticles;
- remove any loose skin from the nail plate;
- shape the nail as desired;
- lightly mattify the nail if the procedure requires it;
- carefully remove any dust.
Avoid touching the nail plate with your fingers after preparation.
Step 2: apply the Base Coat
Apply a thin layer of compatible Base Coat.
Avoid contact with the skin and cuticles.
Cure in accordance with the protocol for the base coat used.
Step 3: apply Dark Bordeaux
Apply a thin layer of LuluNails Bordeaux Foncé Ref. 199.
For a deep colour, it is best to apply several thin coats rather than a single very thick coat.
Cure:
60 seconds under an LED lamp
or
120 seconds under a UV lamp
according to the product instructions and using a compatible lamp.
Step 4: apply a second coat
If necessary, apply a second thin coat to intensify the colour.
Cure again.
Always ensure that the uncured product does not come into contact with the skin.
Step 5: Finish with a Top Coat
Apply your LuluNails Top Coat to protect the colour and achieve the desired finish.
To show off a deep burgundy shade to its best advantage, a high-gloss finish works particularly well.
Cure according to the Top Coat’s instructions.
Can Dark Bordeaux be applied over a Builder Gel?
Yes.
For example, a manicure can be built as follows:
natural nail → preparation → Builder Gel → Dark Bordeaux → Top Coat
The Builder Gel provides the structure, whilst the semi-permanent polish provides the colour.
Thisis particularly appealing to clients who wish to strengthen their natural nails whilst wearing a burgundy colour.
Can Dark Bordeaux be applied over a Rubber Base?
Yes, when a compatible Rubber Base is used in accordance with its application instructions.
A nude Rubber Base can also create an even base before applying Dark Bordeaux.
For nail art, you can even leave some nails with the nude Rubber Base and apply Dark Bordeaux only to the others.
When is the best time of year to wear Dark Bordeaux nails?
Dark Bordeaux is often associated withautumn and winter, but it can be worn all year round.
Autumn
Pair it with chocolate, beige, nude, khaki or gold.
Winter
Wear it with a glossy finish, paired with black or a few sparkly details.
Spring
Use it in a micro-French manicure over a nude or Milky base.
Summer
A short, dark burgundy manicure can create an elegant contrast with lighter-coloured clothes.
There is therefore no set season for wearing this colour.
