Step by step: burgundy micro french nails

  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 a sheer, glossy nude base.
  4. With the thinnest liner brush you have, paint a hair-thin burgundy line right on the edge of the nail.
  5. Clean the line so it hugs the tip evenly on every nail.
  6. Seal with a glossy top coat.
  7. A drop of cuticle oil at the end makes the photo-ready difference.

Pro tip: Micro French lines are 1 mm or less — a striper brush with very little product gives the cleanest result.

Burgundy micro french nails: FAQ

What is a micro French manicure?

A French manicure with an ultra-thin tip line. It looks minimal and polished and suits short nails especially well.

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 burgundy nail polish suit my skin tone?

Blue-based reds and burgundies flatter cool and neutral undertones; on warm or deep skin, choose shades with a brick or brown hint.
