Deep burgundy looks luxurious because the outline is neat and the finish is even. The easiest way to get there at home is to slow down and use less polish on each pass.
Prepare a stable surface
Remove old polish gently, wash and dry hands, and set a small towel under the working hand. Shape the free edge with a file suited to your nails. Keep tools clean and avoid cutting living skin around the nail. A base coat suited to the polish system can help with even application and staining; follow the product directions.
Paint in controlled passes
Wipe excess polish from one side of the brush. Place a small bead just above the cuticle and guide it toward the tip, then fill the sides without flooding the skin. Two thin coats generally look smoother than one thick one, but let each coat dry according to its instructions. Work one hand at a time and steady the painting hand against the table.
Finish without rushing
Use a small cleanup brush where needed and apply a compatible top coat. Allow enough drying time before reaching into a bag or handling fabric. If polish chips early, review preparation, coat thickness, and drying time before adding more layers. Keep the bottle closed and stored as its label recommends.
