Why We Love Wine Color Nails
The wine color palette plays home to a wide variety of reds — think purple, magenta, ruby, garnet, and even tawny. This is a color that can help you find your very own style statement, establishing an icon in the fashion world. And if that isn’t enough to seal the deal, this rich, vibrant color can even make you feel invincible!
However, keep in mind that wine-colored nails can be a tad dominating at times.
To ensure they don’t stick out like a sore thumb, consider pairing them with beige, black, navy, nude, and white dresses.
It’ll help add just the right amount of heat, drama, depth, and sensuousness to your look, so your personality can take center stage.

Expert Tips to Give Your Mani Staying Power
Want to get the most out of your wine color nails?
Treat this guide like the nail Bible to maintain your polish for longer than a week:
- Buff your nails after filing; it seals the keratin layers, adds shine, and prevents rough edges, giving you the perfect canvas to work on.
- Tread very carefully when your nails are wet. In an ideal world, that means being mindful of the time it takes for your polish to set. If you rush this process, it will smudge your nail art and ruin your mani.
- Hot air keeps your nails from drying properly and causes the polish to bubble, which can make it more susceptible to chipping. So, use a cool air setting or sit under a fan at room temperature to aid the process.
- Apply a top coat every 2-3 days to keep your polish from peeling over time. Choose any finish (matte, glossy, etc.) to take your nail game to the next level.
- Look for nail polish with moisturizing agents to keep breaks and splits at bay.
- Avoid getting your nails wet too often. The water and/or cleaning products can seep beneath the polish, lifting the pigment and causing it to chip prematurely.
Remember to push your cuticles back with a wooden stick before painting your nails; it prevents the polish from bonding to the cuticle and keeps it sealed to the nail, making it less likely to lift. It also prevents the onset of bacteria, which is another plus.
