VALLA Maroon Burgundy collection of red-toned Korean syrup gels

Bordeaux Jelly Nails: Autumn Reds with a Korean Twist

Deep wine tones, translucent colour and a glossy finish: Bordeaux jelly nails bring a fresh dimension to the classic red manicure. As featured in ELLE, Selena Gomez wore the look at the Rare Impact Fund Gala, with a manicure by Tom Bachik.

For nail artists who love Korean gels, there are several ways to interpret this autumn look, from sheer burgundy to sparkling ruby.

What gives Bordeaux jelly nails their depth?

The appeal is a wine-red colour with a translucent finish: light still passes through the colour, giving the manicure a glassy appearance. Korean syrup gels offer a way to explore that look. Choose a shade using the product swatches, since reds can lean towards berry, brown or purple.

VALLA Maroon Burgundy: the syrup approach

For a translucent interpretation, explore the VALLA Maroon Burgundy Collection. Its eight red-toned syrup gels, VS60–VS67, offer a natural starting point for wine-inspired nails with depth and transparency.

BY MUSE By Red: explore transparent reds

The BY MUSE By Red Collection contains six transparent red tint gels, including Maroon Flush, Red Berry and Garnet. Explore different expressions of red while keeping a translucent finish, or choose a contrasting shade for a subtle accent.

DGEL Red Label: add a jewel-like twist

Want more sparkle? The DGEL Signature Red Label Collection takes the palette into magnetic and reflective finishes. Its Ruby Line combines five reflective magnetic gels with three reflective glitter gels. This is a shimmering alternative to the simple jelly look, ideal for a jewel-toned accent.

Make the look your own

Choose translucent colour for a jelly effect, or introduce a magnetic or glitter accent for extra dimension. Finish with a glossy top gel, following each product’s application, compatible-lamp and curing instructions. Keep uncured gel away from skin.
