Manicure gray and gold. Golden manicure: photos and step-by-step instructions for creating it at home.

Having burst into the New Year 2017, mirror gold manicure has remained with us, and its popularity is growing every day. It involves the use of different textures and patterns, combined with any polish color and seems to be becoming a classic nail decoration. Gold manicure is the ideal frame for small masterpieces.

It is worth considering in detail ideas for combining it with black, white and red. All of these shades are classics and are often chosen for special occasions.

Manicure black and gold

A daring black manicure with a gold jacket looks very impressive. It’s easy to match this design with accessories: a black leather handbag or clutch, black shoes. One ring is enough to make your hands look elegant and well-groomed.


Black and gold manicure can be done in several ways. You can make it using black gel polish and stamp the edge with gold foil. Instead of foil, craftsmen often use mirror dust.

Don’t forget about the fine glitter, which is applied with a fan brush. They perform golden ombre. The edge on the edge of the nail plate in such cases turns out to be thick gold, but gradually turns into a deep black color.

Red and gold manicure

Red polish is a classic. It goes with many tones, suitable for almost any occasion. When a golden accent is made in such a design, it is emphasized festive mood. Red can be cold or warm, just like gold. Cool shades are more suitable for light, untanned hands. Warm color is for dark-skinned beauties.


The photo shows an example of a cool red shade and gold casting. This option hides regrown gel polish well.

You can add gold accents using craquelure varnish. It cracks as it dries, producing gold flecks. We remember the rules for applying crack varnish: for a fine network of cracks, apply the product in a thin layer, for large ones, in a thick layer.

Sand varnish will give a matte surface, but if desired, it can be coated with a shiny top. There are varnishes in which the base is transparent, but there are figured particles of foil. They are more or less large, of different shapes. There are also products with tiny shimmer particles. This varnish is used to cover one or two nails.

White with gold - tenderness and dignity

White and gold manicure is often chosen for a wedding celebration. But it looks good both in the office and on vacation. Pairs well with jeans and a white pullover. Relevant both in summer and winter.

Such designs are made on a white base, that is, the main color is white. On gold, white patterns look rustic. Here are several design options performed on a white background:

  • A transverse gold thin strip is made in the middle of the nail. It is better to do it using the casting technique - this will give the effect of a gold ring placed on each nail.
  • A gold strip is drawn vertically, from the cuticle to the free edge, in the center of the nail. You can make two or three thin ones or one thicker one. Gold varnish will do. If it is not dense enough, yellow paint is applied underneath it to create a beautiful dense gold stripe.


  • Using tape, you can create a “Lightning” design. After coating with white gel polish, a stencil cut from masking tape is glued to all nails. Next, the gold motif is applied in any way: you can use mirror dust, gel polish or regular varnish.

Golden stamping

The palette of gold coatings ranges from copper to lemon-silver shades. Therefore, choosing the appropriate tone of gold will not be difficult. Fashionable printing of patterns on nails - stamping - has replaced drawings. This design has a lot of advantages: all the patterns turn out the same, which the artist cannot guarantee.

There are so many options for this design that fashionistas’ eyes run wild. There are large canvases for imprinting a pattern, and there are small images for imprinting. For example, to create the effect of Indian fabrics with gold threads, a large print that completely covers the nail is suitable. This pattern looks beautiful on a turquoise, red or dark green background.

Stamping goes well with gold rhinestones. They place emphasis on the intersection of thin lines of the pattern. One nail (usually ring finger) can be completely covered with rhinestones. Place a vertical strip of large stones in the center, and small ones along the ridges.

Exist different shapes stones: squares, diamonds, sticks, rings, gears, stars, crescents, drops... You can’t count everything. Each girl will choose something different when creating a golden manicure.

Golden mirror

Perhaps this is the most effective option. It is done on a black background (this is how fine mirror powder better creates the appearance of reflection) and imitates metal surfaces. When choosing a powder, it is important to check what shade of gold it gives.


The gold manicure, the photo of which is presented above, is made on a black base. Some nails are completely mirrored, while others have gold stamping. The nails on the middle fingers with a moon jacket are covered with a matte top, on top of which gold circles of different sizes are depicted.

On one finger you can see a very interesting nail design. Gold casting was made on a brown background. And also a nail with a scale effect, made using the “knitted manicure” technique.

Now there are a lot of design options. The so-called “striped manicure” is considered stylish. To make the drawings even, mask them with masking tape.


Shown in the photo original design for nails without a free edge. However, this did not stop us from creating a design that was relevant this year.

It is performed according to white background using gel polish. After polymerization white stick on strips that mask and preserve it. In total, three of them are glued to each nail: at the cuticle, on the upper edge and in the center.

Then the nail is coated with black gel polish and polymerized. Then they mask out half of each black stripe. Perform a mirror rub and polymerize again. Remove the disguise and cover with top.

Another idea is to use different gold textures. Make one nail mirror (nameless), the other - gold with a shiny top, the third - with a matte top. On the remaining two fingers you can do a moon manicure or a French manicure with a mirror.

How to make fashion design yourself?

Nowadays, many people are interested in creating designs using tape. There is a special thin colored foil tape on sale. It is sticky and lasts a long time. The designs made with its help are different straight lines. Even a beginner, with sufficient care, can handle them easily.


The tape is placed in different ways. In the photo we used it, masking the corners of the nails at an angle. After the coating has dried, tape is glued over the golden background, then a contrasting varnish is applied and dried.

The main thing in this design is not to remove the tape ahead of time, so as not to get a torn, sloppy edge. Try this option. Golden highlights will accompany you all day, lifting your spirits. And your friends will think that you visited a fashionable nail artist.

Every woman would like to give herself a golden manicure, photos of which are full of pictures on the pages of beauty salons. Bright nail design leads to increased attention from the outside, men, work colleagues, passers-by.

Gold coating on the nail plate is chosen by brave girls who love to be the center of attention. Do not forget about the design using golden elements in the manicure ornament - this is an excellent solution for modest women.

You can create different designs with golden sand if you study the application technology. A French manicure with a gradient effect looks harmonious, where the transition is a gradual decrease in the amount of glitter.

Advice! Alternative way applying glitter - mixing gel polish with glitter and then applying the coating to the nail.

How to choose gold gel polish

Manufacturers of gel polishes offer a variety of metal coating choices. The density of gold varnish depends on the amount of glitter in the base. Fine shimmer promotes even coverage. Mixed textures look interesting: large particles flash against a uniform background, adding shine and originality to the manicure.







Professional nail care lines offer gel polishes with silk, foil, and sand effects. Hard coatings in the form of stickers are common for home use.

The gold color scheme is also varied and depends on the preferences of the master. On sale are varnishes with shimmering particles, white and red gold, duochromes, iridescent versions of blue, greenish and lilac shades. In separate bottles you can find golden varnishes that change color when in different forms lighting.







The advantage of metallic varnishes is their harmonious flow. Nail design using glitter looks festive and extraordinary. The only disadvantage of the coating is the difficulty of application. To ensure uniform distribution of color, the attentiveness and concentration of the master is important. Lack of experience working with coating leads to gaps and unnecessary stripes. Gel polish needs to be applied in several layers, which takes longer than when working with regular polish.

Advice! Choose a shade of gold that matches the tone of your hands. For those with a reddish undertone, cool shades are recommended. A beige or yellow base looks good in combination with a tan.

If you don’t have a lot of time or perseverance, a real salvation is a black manicure with pieces of foil. The idea is to cut the foil into chaotic small pieces and glue them on top of a black background in any order.

Advice! When applying foil to the nail, make sure that it fits tightly on all sides. Otherwise, uneven edges will remain and the manicure will look sloppy.
