Okay but maroon nails are currently owning my entire soul and I need to talk about it
Real talk. I didn’t even know I liked maroon this much until last fall when I randomly picked it at the salon because “red felt too loud” and suddenly I was getting compliments from strangers in the grocery store. One lady literally stopped me in the chip aisle to ask what color it was.
Another confession. Last winter I wore maroon nails for six weeks straight. Six. My nail tech started calling me “Miss Burgundy” and I never corrected her because honestly? I loved it.
Fast forward to now and I’m fully back on my maroon nails bullshit. I went down the Pinterest rabbit hole so hard my algorithm thinks I’m getting married in a castle. Send help or just paint my nails for me at this point.
20+ Trendy Maroon Nails You Can’t Get Around This Year
Glossy Maroon Nails with Gold Foil Accents
The gold foil catches the light in the most obnoxious rich-aunt way and I’m obsessed.
Matte Maroon Nails with Glossy Tips
This combo makes me feel like I should be smoking a cigarette in a Paris café while ignoring everyone. I don’t smoke and I’ve never been to Paris but the fantasy is free.
Maroon French Tips on Nude Base
Classic French but make it moody. I did these for a job interview once and got the job. Coincidence?
Deep Maroon Nails with Silver Glitter Accent
One glitter nail to remind everyone you’re still fun.
Maroon Ombre Nails with Soft Black Fade
The fade into black is so dramatic I felt like a vampire all week. In the best way. My coworker asked if I was okay. Yes Susan, better than ever.
Short Maroon Nails with Minimal Line Art
Short nail girlies we don’t have to scream to be heard. Sometimes a tiny gold line is enough to serve.
Maroon Almond Nails with High Shine Finish
The shine on these is so aggressive I kept catching my reflection in them like a narcissist. Almond shape just hits different, fight me.
Maroon Nails with Pearl Accent Nail
The pearl detail is so classy I almost felt bad drinking boxed wine with them. Almost.
Dark Maroon Nails with Subtle Chrome Overlay
Chrome maroon is what happens when rich meets dangerous. I want to wear these while driving a sports car I definitely can’t afford.
Maroon and Swirl Nail Design
I tried swirls once at home and it looked like I finger-painted with ketchup. These are the professional version I cry about.
Maroon Coffin Nails with Glitter Tips
Coffin shape plus glitter tips equals main character energy. I felt untouchable wearing these.
Maroon Nails with Gold Stripe Details
The stripes are so clean I want to frame my hands. Simple but expensive looking. My favorite combo.
Maroon Square Nails with Micro Shimmer
You can’t even see the shimmer until the light hits and then bam. Magic. I kept walking under streetlights on purpose like a psycho.
Maroon Nails with Floral Accent Art
Fall called and wants its vibe back. The tiny flowers make me feel soft even when I’m internally screaming.
Maroon Aura Nails with Soft Center Glow
These aura ones feel spiritual. Like I should be drinking red wine and reading poetry under the moon. I drank Diet Coke and watched reality TV instead. Still counts.
Okay I’m officially spiraling. My nail appointment is in three days and I’ve changed my mind 28 times. I’m this close to just walking in and saying “make me look rich and slightly unapproachable” and letting fate decide.
Also lowkey think we should match this fall. Nothing crazy, just both quietly serving vineyard heiress energy while complaining about being broke. Text me which one you’re doing because I need an enabler.
Happy maroon season babe. Go be moody and gorgeous 🍷💅✨
