Gold is the main decoration of the modern image of women. It is now fashionable to perform evening looks and manicures in a golden version. Just a few years ago this color was considered provocative and too expressive in appearance. But now fashion stylists have convinced modern fashionistas and proven that gold is still an ideal means for decorating women. As for manicure, you can often find incredible decorative elements in its design: rhinestones, glitter, broths, kamifubuki and foil. All of the above types of decor for decorating elegant marigolds are now made in gold. We invite you to discuss the most interesting ideas and color combinations for fashionable manicure, where the main role is played by the gold color.
Current options
For several years in a row, gold manicure has been very popular among fashionistas. It’s probably hard to meet a girl now who hasn’t tried a golden design for her nails at least once. This manicure option is very easy to perform and therefore you can do it yourself without any difficulty. This of course depends on all the complexity and variation of the design. For a simplified version, there are special varnish coatings that contain small particles of gold glitter. You can also experiment with glitter powder.
Design options in green tones
Choosing a manicure design is not an easy task. And all because modern nail artists have in their arsenal many decorative options, shades of coatings, and they never run out of ideas. In this diversity, you can get lost and confused, trying to choose one option out of dozens of possible ones.

Stripes
Striped print is a classic that never loses its relevance. Stripes can be done on several nails or just one. They can be of different thicknesses and directions, located both horizontally and vertically, diagonally, intersecting.
You can paint the stripes with a thin brush or use silver or gold foil adhesive tape. Both options go well with green coating. By the way, under a matte top, shiny silver or gold ribbons look even more interesting.
Rubbing
Rubbing is the smallest particles of acrylic powder, which allow you to create a dense, shiny, mirror-like coating on your nails. For a green manicure, masters offer silver and gold rubs.
The chameleon rub looks very impressive. With it you can create the “Chafer bug” design: all the nails are covered with a beautiful shade of green, and an iridescent rub is applied to 2-3 fingers.
French manicure
French manicure, more often called French, was invented back in 1960. In its classic form, the French jacket is made in two shades - soft pink and white. But recently, classic combinations have been replaced by bold, unexpected multi-colored “duets”. Dark green gel polish can also be used for a French manicure, painting the tips of the nails with it or vice versa, filling the main part of the nail plate.
The combination of techniques looks interesting. Some nails can be coated with dark green varnish, and a French polish can be done on 3-4 nails, combining green tips with a soft pink base. The design will be even more impressive if you cover your nails with a matte topcoat.
Ombre and gradient
The ombre effect can be created on each finger by stretching the color from the tip to the cuticle. The gradient on the nails of the entire hand looks no less impressive, with a smooth transition of color from a lighter shade on the little finger to a darker one on the big finger. The palette of green shades is so wide that choosing beautiful colors for a gradient is not difficult.
Geometry
Stylish, eye-catching and a proof of good taste, the geometric design can be made in any color, including green. You can combine black or white dots, lines, cells, circles with dark green gel polish.
Yuki
Yuki flakes are small, thin pieces of multi-colored foil used to create eye-catching sparkling designs. With their help you can create a trendy stained glass design. The flakes are randomly laid out on the nail plate, after which their contours are outlined with black gel paint, imitating stained glass.
For a bright green manicure, you can use Yuki's rainbow flakes, and calmer color combinations can be achieved with silver, white, and gray decor.
Velvet sand
A green manicure can be decorated with a three-dimensional pattern created using velvet sand. This material is easy to use and comes in a variety of colors, which explains its popularity among nail artists. The design is applied to the coating with gel polish, then sprinkled with velvet sand and polymerized in a lamp. The drawing should not be too complex or detailed. Geometric shapes, dots, monograms and lines look beautiful under the velvet sand.
Broken glass
The Broken Glass design is created using holographic foil. It is cut into small pieces of arbitrary shape and glued onto a sticky layer of gel polish. Broken glass on a green background looks bright and expressive. Pieces of iridescent foil create a shimmering shine on the nails. This design can be a successful addition to a holiday look.
Droplets
In autumn manicure, the “Droplet” design occupies a special place. Using a dot or thin brush, small drops are placed on the nail plates with a transparent base, which remain voluminous after polymerization of the material. If such drops are “splashed” over a monochromatic coating, the effect of rain falling on the nails is created.
Modeling
Acrylic modeling is gaining popularity again. Sculptural volumetric design is performed on long and medium-length nails. The most popular are floral motifs: flowers, buds, leaves. For the design to look stylish and relevant, volumetric elements should not be too bulky. They can be combined with rhinestones, broths, and foil. If a dark green color is chosen as the background, it is better to use beige, soft pink, peach, and white acrylic for sculpting. The photo below shows a beautiful manicure with acrylic sculpting.
Kamifubuki
Small round sparkles that shimmer in different shades are kamifubuki. This decor appeared in the arsenal of nail artists not so long ago, but has already become the “protagonist” of such popular designs as “Disco Nails” and “Confetti Design”.
Bright multi-colored kamifubuki will add vigor and playful mood to a dark green manicure. Plain silver or gold confetti looks more restrained, but no less beautiful, on dark green gel polish. If the manicure should not attract too much attention, the shine of the kamifubuki can be muted by covering the nails with a matte topcoat.
Broths
Having appeared in the nail industry, broths immediately attracted the attention of craftsmen and fashionistas. They made it possible to create voluminous design options, among which the “Caviar Manicure” became a hit. Today, nail artists rarely offer this type of design to girls; it is outdated and does not look as impressive as it did 5-7 years ago. But the broths were not written off, they just found a new use.
Beautifully and neatly, with their help you can complement the inlay of nails with rhinestones. You can use broths to create an imitation of chains, frame stones with them, and complement designs. In combination with green gel polish, shiny gold, black, white, and gray broths look beautiful.
It is important not to overdo it in design. Nails completely strewn with small balls will look too massive. It is better to use broths to place accents on several nails.
cat's eye
Even a novice nail artist can create a predatory cat eye design. The main thing is to have in your arsenal a special magnet and gel polish with shimmering particles. The magnet attracts shiny particles to a specific point on the nail plate, creating a spectacular shimmer. In a dark green shade, a cat's eye looks simply irresistible!

Sequins and rhinestones
Shiny nails can be created using glitter. On a dark green background, both silver or gold sparkles, as well as multi-colored, iridescent, and bright ones shimmer beautifully. Glitter can come in different sizes, shapes and textures. An interesting design would be one in which glitter is used to create a gradient from the tip of the nail to the center.
A manicure with rhinestones, never losing popularity among girls, made in dark green shades, looks luxurious. Today, small stones of interesting shapes and colors are in fashion. Silver and holographic crystals do not disappear from the arsenal of nail artists, but rhinestones in natural shades are now very popular: brown, green, blue, gray.
Inscriptions
One of the most popular trends of the season among young fashionistas is inscriptions on nails. They are done manually, with a thin brush, or using a slider design. The second option, as a rule, allows you to get a more accurate result, and the first does not limit the master’s imagination.
One of the branches of this design is logos and brand names on nails. When using them in design, it is important to accurately recreate the style, repeat the font and select the appropriate shades of decor.
Knitted patterns
Volumetric knitted manicure is more relevant than ever in the autumn-winter period. A “soft sweater” can be created on your nails using acrylic powder. If the main color of the manicure is green, knitted patterns can be made on one or two nails coated with beige varnish. Against a light background, the sculptural design looks more expressive.
Monograms
Green is a natural shade. Its popularity is gaining momentum in all areas of the fashion industry, including evening fashion. Floor-length emerald-colored dresses made of flowing fabric, thin lace in green tones look luxurious. A manicure in green tones will successfully support this outfit. But in order not to overdo it with greenery, you can paint monograms or flowers on your nails with this shade. It is better to select the background color from the nude collection.
With drawings
Drawings of leaves, flowers, tree branches are successfully combined with dark green gel polish. In addition to floral themes, in autumn manicure, imitation of raindrops, animal drawings, and prints are popular. Laconic silhouette drawings look stylish. On a green background, the black contours of various figures look elegant and unobtrusive.
With foil
Shiny golden “islands” created using transfer foil can add variety to the most boring manicure. You can complement green gel polish with silver foil; this manicure will be cooler and suitable for winter.
Foil can also be used to create a liquid metal effect on your nails. A drop of silvery liquid metal contrasts beautifully with the green coating, and the holographic foil shimmers interestingly.
Dark green with silver
Ideally, dark green gel polish combines with silver decor. For design, you can choose glitter, foil, shiny stripes, rhinestones, confetti, and beads. A beautiful frame can be created by gluing silver rhinestones along the upper contour of the nail, right at the cuticle. Silver stickers in a geometric style look impressive on green nails.
With gold
Green and gold combine no less beautifully. Even if the gold decoration is just foil or shiny gel polish applied to the tips of the nails, the manicure will still turn out to be solemn.
It is very important not to overdo it with shiny elements and use them sparingly. You should not use more than 2 types of gold decor in one manicure. You can even use different materials on different hands, for example, on the nails of the right hand, put a couple of drops of “liquid metal” using gold foil, and on the left hand, cover the nail with glitter, as in the photo below.
Combined with beige
Green and beige are one of the most trendy color combinations of the season. Beige gel polish is usually used as a background for the design, and green nails are left monochrome, without design. By the way, a manicure that uses green gel polish with beige looks equally beautiful in both glossy and matte versions.
Dark green with white
Similar to beige, pure white can be used as a background for drawings and three-dimensional designs. In this case, the contrast between the two shades of coating is more pronounced, and therefore the manicure as a whole looks brighter and more expressive.
Green and white can be “made friends” in a manicure and on one nail, for example, by performing lunar nail art using these shades. The hole is covered with white, and the rest of the nail is covered with green.
You can draw a picture with white color on a green background, and to balance the composition, cover one of the nails, for example, on the little finger, with light gel polish.
Rich green with yellow
Those looking for bright ideas for the summer may like the “duet” of rich green and yellow coating. This juicy color combination can be complemented with a bright pattern of fruits, for example, kiwi or lemon, flowers, palm leaves.
Design with green and blue
Green and blue gel polish can easily “get along” in one design. The main thing is to select shades of the same tonality, that is, they should be both cold or both warm. You can connect them together using decor, for example, chameleon foil, the highlights of which should be placed on the nails in both green and blue.
Dark green with pink
Do you want something gentle, romantic and a little naive, and have you chosen a dark green shade of gel polish? Then combine it with a delicate light pink color. You can cover 2-3 nails with it, and leave the rest for green. The combination of soft pink and dark emerald turns out to be truly marvelous.
To “link” dark and light nails with a single idea, on soft pink ones you can make a simple design with dark green gel polish, for example, draw a couple of smooth lines or draw several monograms. Dark green can also be used to paint the tips of pink nails or lunula.
Glitter polish
Almost all girls love to shine and shine in public. Therefore, many of them prefer to use varnish coatings or decorative elements in a shiny version for manicure design. An excellent tool for a quick manicure is a polish with gold glitter. It is very convenient to use. Moreover, this design can decorate any length of the nail plate. Even the shortest nails can be transformed with a unique polish. Moreover, gold sparkles are combined with all colors of varnish.
Glitter
Almost every cosmetic store and every manicurist has special containers with shiny glitter. This is a universal tool for creating an incredibly beautiful manicure. With its help, craftsmen can make a variety of monograms and decorate designs. Also, in some cases, several nail plates are completely covered with glitter. In many options, gold-colored sparkles are used for such purposes. Of course, all designs and their implementation depend on the whims of the future owners of manicure.
Technology of applying velvet sand to nails
Creating a manicure with powder is very simple. If you carefully study all the details, then even a beginner can do this design on your nails.

- drawing lace patterns or monograms;
- image of abstract lines and geometric shapes on the nail plate;
- velvet jacket

- Nails are pre-prepared and filed to the desired shape.
- Then apply varnish or shellac once, which is thoroughly dried.
- The next layer is immediately sprinkled with the product on top.
- Next, dry the volumetric coating thoroughly.
How to apply sand to gel polish
Velvet manicure with gel polish has increased wear resistance and a long service life. The creation of such a design is distinguished by its drying technology: an ultraviolet lamp is required for its polymerization.

- Next, drying the volumetric manicure with shellac under ultraviolet rays should take 5–6 minutes.
Sand patterns on nails
It’s quite easy to create voluminous patterns on your nails using a velvet solution. You should use gel paint with a sticky layer as a basis, since it is very difficult to draw lines with shellac, especially for beginners, because it spreads.

- Afterwards they are sprinkled with the product. If desired, you can press on the surface, but then the volume will be less noticeable.
- The pattern should be dried thoroughly, only then carefully remove the excess with a brush.
