OK, let’s talk about the wine red nails I did the other day. I’ve always been a fan of classic red nails, you know, that strong, stunning red that just screams confidence. I saw somewhere, maybe it was an interview with a celebrity or something, that even Kate Moss digs a classic red when she does her nails. So, I thought, why not take it up a notch and go for something a bit deeper, like a wine red?
First off, I gathered all my supplies. You gotta start with a good base, right? So I prepped my nails—cleaned them, pushed back the cuticles, the whole nine yards. If you don’t prep right, it’s not gonna last, and what’s the point of doing your nails if they’re gonna chip the next day?
Next, I applied a base coat. This step is crucial, folks. It helps the polish stick better and protects your natural nails from getting stained. After the base coat dried, I went in with the star of the show—the wine red polish. I picked this gorgeous shade from my collection; it’s deep, rich, and just perfect for that sophisticated vibe I was going for. I applied the first coat, making sure to get even coverage. It’s all about those smooth, even strokes. Then I let it dry completely. You don’t want to rush this part, or you’ll end up with smudges.
After the first coat was dry, I went in with a second coat. This really brings out the depth of the color. It’s like adding another layer of richness to a fine wine—it just gets better. Once that was dry, I thought, “Hmm, why not add a little sparkle?” I mean, who doesn’t love a bit of glitter? So I carefully added a layer of glitter polish to a couple of accent nails. It wasn’t too much, just enough to catch the light and add a bit of glam.
Finally, I sealed everything with a top coat. This is the final touch that gives your nails that glossy finish and helps them last longer. Plus, it protects the glitter from falling off, which is a total win.

Here’s a quick rundown of what I did:
And there you have it—my wine red nails adventure. It was fun, relaxing, and the end result was totally worth it. I’ve been getting compliments left and right, and honestly, I feel like a million bucks. If you’re thinking of trying out a new nail look, give wine red a shot. It’s elegant, it’s classy, and it might just be your new favorite.
