Maroon nail designs
Maroon is red with the brightness taken out. It is the color people pick when a true red feels too loud for work, and it is one of the few dark shades that looks warm on morena skin rather than harsh.
Design ideas: these are generated references for a style. None of them shows a KuQueen session, and we do not publish a client’s nails without asking her first.
The family runs from a brownish oxblood through wine to a plum-leaning burgundy. Brown-leaning maroons suit warm skin best. The purple-leaning ones are better on cooler hands.
Maroon holds a finish well. A velvet cat eye or a glazed chrome over maroon gives it depth that a flat cream does not, and a maroon French tip keeps it light enough for the office.
Maroon and wine sit naturally with the colors of the Christmas season, so a maroon set booked in late November can carry you through to the new year.
