12. Burgundy shimmer
For a more subtle take on the classic red manicure, go for a few shades darker with this rich, sultry burgundy color! These dark red nails still fall into the red category, yet are slightly more humble in shade, which we know some of our readers prefer:)
This nail design is ideal for all nail shapes which makes it all the more versatile.
13. Dripping in blood
When you think of red nails, is your first thought Christmas nails or Halloween ones? They overlap somewhere and these nails are proof of that.
Called blood nails, but since they lack the gore, they can be festive nails too. Simply add some glitter and sparkle and you’ve got yourself an edgy nail design! You can also get this effect with matte red nails, the options are yours to choose from. This red nail design is ideal for those with short nails since the design is not at the tip end.
