Wanna Feel Like A Million Bucks? Try One of These Gold Nail Looks This Month

There’s no need to choose, right?! Mix gold and silver for a chunky, trendy, and oh-so-luxurious cool-girl mani. This 3D nail art makes your mani pop and will def be a good conversation starter.

I can’t be the only one who sees this mani and immediately thinks of "Bejeweled" by Taylor Swift. Like, “best believe I’m still bejeweled, when I walk in the room, I can still make the whole place shimmer” is on a constant loop in my head looking at these. The big, costume-like gemstones on each nail are total perfection. FYI: Your nail artist can create those with real stones, or using hard gel that they've mixed with polish to create their own.

Green and gold always look soooo good together. I’m obsessed with every little detail of this mani, from the rhinestone shapes to the thoughtful 3D builder gel on each gold French tip.

Listen, gold doesn’t have to mean audacious. Sometimes, a simple sheer shimmer is just what we need, and this one does the trick. If you prefer a more opaque base, try a neutral nail polish underneath before swiping a couple coats of a polish like this. The sunkissed finish has me on Google Flights trying to book a trip to a tropical beach ASAP. All that glitters…

These are giving serious regal vibes. Using a thin nail art brush will get you that golden braided look on the edges of each fingertip, and then dressing ‘em up with emerald and silver rhinestones? Chef’s kiss.

Just looking for a lil gold accent? In my ~professional~ opinion, there’s pretty much nothing more perfect than a cute coquette bow to get the job done. The golden touch looks gorg with any nail polish base and dresses up any plain manicure super easily.

A gold mani doesn’t mean you have to go all out on gold everywhere (but more power to ya if that’s your thing). Adding touches of gold paired with burgundy makes for a moody mani with a mix of designs (studs, 3D, negative space—you name it).

All gold errythanggg? Yes, pls. A gold cateye mani with stars is pretty much what sparkly, luxe nail dreams are made of. If you’re trying this one at home and aren’t sure you can swing star nail art, you can buy nail stickers to keep things easy.

Is it too early to be dreaming of summer sunsets? According to these nails and also me, the definitive decision maker on this, the answer is no. So why not go for the summery, floral, golden mani already? Florals take this gold design into a tropical place rather than the usual gilded, glam vibe.

If you love a French manicure but want to switch things up from the classic white French tip, let me present: a golden nugget Frenchie. Also a lil different: the nail shape. It’s called a lipstick nail shape since the angled tip kinda resembles the top of a lipstick… I see the vision!

Aura nails: By now, either you or someone you know has worn ‘em at least once. Personally, I’ve done them more times than I can remember. This pastel aura with golden accents is exactly the winter-to-spring transition mani we all need.

Two words: chrome stars. Need I say more? These oversized golden chrome stars pop on a nice basic background color. I’m thinking they would look stellar with a matte base coat too.

Channel your Greek goddess energy with a trident-inspired golden manicure. The sweeping curves and pointed stiletto nail shape is totally Aquamarine meets Poseidon.
