There’s something about burgundy that refuses to stay in the archives. She’s rich, moody, a little mysterious, and this fall, she’s back on every fingertip worth watching. Burgundy nail polish has officially reclaimed her crown as the shade of power dressing—quiet, sensual, and wildly self-assured. It’s that perfect in-between color: not as loud as red, not as brooding as black, but commanding enough to make people look twice when you reach for your coffee.

Fashion houses from Paris to Milan are deep in their burgundy era, dropping lacquer shades that melt between wine, cherry, and oxblood. The vibe? Grown woman energy. The kind of polish that looks right at home holding a cigarette, typing an essay about heartbreak, or scrolling through old photos of people you’ll never text again. It’s timeless in the least boring way possible—a small rebellion wrapped in gloss.

This isn’t just nostalgia talking. The new wave of burgundy is tactile. Think glossy like patent boots, matte like a Bordeaux lip, and dangerously close to dried blood. It pairs with gold jewelry, camel coats, and the kind of perfume that smells like secrets. You could call it classic, but that would be an understatement—it’s royal, but raw.

Burgundy’s return this season isn’t about elegance alone; it’s about mood. The kind of confidence that whispers instead of shouts. Whether you’re painting it on before a date, a job interview, or just another existential crisis in the mirror, burgundy doesn’t just decorate—it declares. This winter, she’s not a color. She’s a state of mind.

These are the Fizzypicks we can’t stop painting our nails with this season:
