Sofía Vergara just ditched her go-to neutral nails for this chic plum-wine shade

Offering a chic and juicy twist on autumn's trendiest hue, Sofía Vergara's plum wine nails are the look to request if you want to ooze sophistication this season.

If you're yet to verse yourself in the most popular autumn nail designs, burgundy is undoubtedly among the must-wear shades this year, thanks to the classy and expensive feel it brings to every nail shape and length. Currently topping the short autumn nail trends, it remains a timeless colour – not unlike your favourite neutral nails.

That said, we're always open to a slight update, especially when it comes with a cute name; with their rich, purple undertone, Sofía Vergara's plum wine nails offer just that. Swapping her signature milky pink nails for this rich hue, this is one of our favourite looks yet...

Why we're dashing to request Sofía Vergara's plum wine nails

From brownish cabernet to the iconic Rouge Noir (a popular Chanel nail polish shade, if you didn't know), burgundies always make chic and expensive-looking picks – especially in the autumn and winter months when dark nail trends reign supreme. This opinion is clearly shared by Sofía Vergara, who swapped her more understated, milky white manicure for a hue that we can only describe as "plum wine."

Stepping out on the 11th of October, Vergara adorned her almond nails with a rich, purple-burgundy polish that perfectly matched her YSL clutch bag (a great styling tip to keep in mind when styling your own burgundy manicure). The hue is warm and almost spicy, reminiscent of last year's popular mulled wine nails tend, making this look perfect for both autumn and winter wear.

Despite being a bolder colour compared to neutral nails, this manicure still feels very versatile and has a subtle side to it – especially when worn with similarly dark clothing. In fact, you may get along better with this deep tone if you find bright or classic reds a tad too much of a statement.

How to recreate Sofía Vergara's nails

As for recreating Vergara's manicure, while she has longer almond nails, this shade looks equally chic on squoval and shorter square nails. We would also recommend applying one of the best nail strengtheners as a base coat, then two to three coats of your chosen plum-wine shade. As a final flourish, top your colour with a clear, glossy top coat to ward off chips and boost shine.

If you're heading to the salon (rather than going DIY), simply request your chosen nail shape and length, then select a burgundy polish with a slightly purple undertone.
