The maroon shade has historically been associated with power and wealth, making it a perfect choice for festive occasions or an elegant accessory to an evening outfit.
Women often choose this color during the fall and winter because it appears dark and eye-catching against pale skin tones. Since the maroon polish is easy to apply, can be used alone or as a base for other, more intricate nail art designs, and won’t fade for weeks at a time, it’s an ideal choice for women who like to keep up with nail fashion trends.
When choosing a maroon shade for your manicure, you’ll want to look for long-lasting polish in shades like deep garnet reds or blood reds. Avoid special effects or shimmer polishes unless you want to create a sophisticated French manicure style. Painting your nails maroon is a great way to add color and interest to your nails without going overboard. If you’re applying the polish on bare nails rather than over another color, you can purchase your maroon polish in the same shade as your skin tone or a shade darker.
For a look with more depth, try layering two different hues of maroon over each other. For example, try layering a lighter shade of maroon over top of a darker one. The contrast will create depth in your nails and give you great coverage while maintaining an elegant look.
If you want to try something different with your maroon manicure, consider painting the nails of one hand a deeper tone than the other. It creates a dramatic look that is sure to draw attention. Whether you’re getting ready for that annual holiday party or want a unique nail color, painting your hands maroon will surely surprise and delight those around you!
