Both glamorous and classy, white and gold nails communicate a level of elegance that other color combos cannot.
The shimmering luxury of gold combined with the neutral white can dress up your nail look and create a feeling of fanciness that will carry you through any event.
This look can be either bold or subtle depending on your mood. Keep it subtle by starting with a sheer white base coat and then applying gold tips to your nails. This French manicure style is a fresh twist on the traditional look, but it recalls the classics. You can also paint a thin, vertical gold stripe over a sheer white for another type of look.
The more low-key the gold, the tamer your nails will look.
However, if you really want to go for the glamour, try using a frosty gold color as the base coat and applying a white stripe over top. This technique will completely change the tone of the white and gold nail look and punch it up another level. Complement your Goldilocks nails with gold jewelry or accessories to really get that golden girl look.
For a more playful spin, you can also use dots instead of stripes. Gold dots on a white background can be subtle, but the brighter and more opaque the white, the bolder the look. The power of a flat white is often underestimated, but softened with some regal-looking gold dots can bring it back down to earth for a very wearable look.
White and gold nails can be beautiful at any time of day, and they can easily transition from work to play time. This nail trend is sure to catch on like fire.
