How to get burnt orange matte almond nails at home

  1. Prep: push back cuticles, buff the shine off the nail plate and wipe with alcohol so the base coat grips.
  2. Shape: File the sides in a straight line toward the center and round the tip softly, like the top of an almond.
  3. Apply base coat.
  4. Paint two even coats of burnt orange.
  5. Finish with a matte top coat — no glossy layer on top.
  6. Massage in cuticle oil to make the manicure look salon-fresh.

Pro tip: Matte top coat can look patchy over thick layers; keep color coats thin and even.

Burnt orange matte nails: FAQ

Does matte nail polish chip faster?

It doesn’t chip faster, but matte finishes can look shiny or scuffed at the tips after a week. Refresh with another thin matte top coat.

Are almond nails strong?

They are stronger than stiletto because the tip is rounded, but the narrow tip is more fragile than square. Medium length with gel or builder gel is the sweet spot.

Does burnt orange nail polish suit my skin tone?

Burnt orange and copper shine on warm and deep skin; peach and coral lift fair and neutral skin.
