Trendy gold manicure: nail art worth trying this summer

Gold manicure is on trend, and it's the perfect nail design for a sunny summer, beauty experts say. We suggest adopting a couple of stylish ideas for a fashionable manicure with gold for a bright season.

If you're ready to try out the trendiest summer 2021 manicure, gold nail art is the design to start with. Just imagine how iridescent shiny details will be great to bathe in the sun, raising your spirits every day.

“To make a manicure with gold relevant, you need to make it minimal. In simple words, gold should be an accent. Think of it as an accessory for your nails," says popular Hollywood nail designer Michelle Humphrey.

Whether you choose a French manicure, a reverse French manicure, a gradient design, stripes, stars, designs, or abstract shapes, the idea is to play with the gold accents rather than painting the entire nail completely gold. Humphrey advises to combine chrome and metal parts not only with contrasting colors of varnishes, but also with neutral ones, for example, nude, black or white. This is also a great solution for "naked" nail art, because the design on transparent nails is a trend out of time and seasons.

“Gold will always look spectacular in a negative space manicure, where the natural shade of the nails is combined with some kind of design,” the master notes.

Those who follow current trends should try green manicure with a gold accent – this is one of the most fashionable combinations of the spring-summer season. If you are a constant adherent of the classics, choose a white and gold manicure or a black manicure with gold. Both options go great together. Below you will find plenty of inspiration to play up the trendy manicure in whatever style and technique you like.

Manicure with gold stripes

Fashionable and beautiful manicure with stripes is one of the main nail trends of 2021. In summer, striped nail design is especially relevant, but we would advise you to move away from the hackneyed marine theme and rely on more relevant nail art options. A gold stripe manicure is the perfect solution for a stylish summer.

Gold foil manicure

Foil has long been considered a universal element of nail decor, since it can be applied to literally any manicure idea. It looks good on nails of different shapes and lengths, harmoniously fits into various designs and is successfully combined with both transparent and nude coatings, as well as bright, deep shades, including burgundy, chocolate, emerald, blue, black.

Now French manicure is going through two extremes – mega-trend super-thin stripes and no less popular design with wide stripes for full nails. Which one to choose is up to you, but we know one thing for sure: a jacket in gold color will always look advantageous, whether it is a manicure for a wedding or for every day.

Manicure with gold sequins and rhinestones

A radiant glitter manicure is appropriate not only for the New Year and Christmas, but also at any other time when the soul asks for a holiday. Whether it's a shiny jacket, negative space or nail art with a polka dot pattern, sparkly accents can fit anywhere. Another trend worth trying is voluminous manicure with stones and pearls. If you don't wear jewelry with rhinestones and gold beads around your neck, try it on your nails.

Reverse french with gold

Holes and reverse stripes of glitter or small pieces of foil are another variation of a fashionable manicure with gold. This design looks spectacular and elegant, it can be combined with bright shades of nail polishes or combined with the same “naked” manicure.

Geometric manicure with gold

Minimalism in manicure is welcomed always and everywhere, so you definitely can't go wrong with laconic nail art in a geometric style. Here you can use the appropriate stickers for nails in the form of stripes and shapes, combining them with other summer motifs.

Abstract manicure with gold accents

Gold accents can really shine in abstract nail designs. Ornate lines and patterns, careless strokes and blots, a combination of incongruous – abstraction is different and always produces a wow effect. Pair glitter details with trendy summer hues: white, yellow, orange, lavender, hot pink, or try a striped blue manicure with gold, as in the example below.
