Burgundy has a warm appearance. You would use this manicure when you want to align with the warmth of the occasion.
Otherwise, winter is the perfect season for using this nail color. You can add cool colors to balance out the hot feeling of this shade.
Silver, pink, and purple are some shades that will lighten its mood. Also, white can balance out its effect to some extent.
Use accessories to suit the occasion. But also check the finish before choosing the accessories.
Matte finish is an especially tricky finish when it comes to choosing accessories.
