There are certain nail combinations that are a must depending on the time of the year.
A warm bright polish for the summer? That’s obvious. As the temperatures drop, a rich burgundy color graces our nailbeds. But, what about something fancier than the regular color palette?
For fall and winter, we have a different color combination in mind, which is a little less traditional and a bit more opulent for the season. Up your nail game, with a luxurious combination of black and gold.
This extra touch of luxe is perfect for the holiday season or if you want a fancy look for everyday life.
Black and gold nail designs are the perfect way to level up your manicure game. The colors can be customized in various ways to suit anyone’s personal style.
Their versatility means the color combination can be worn with everything, and provides a touch of elegance. There are endless variations – like black with gold chrome or matte black with gold foil – that add a bold statement to a manicure.

Gold foil is the perfect choice to add a hint of warmth to all black nail designs. The touch of luxury is perfect for any nail shape, whether it be short nails or almond shapes.
This design sees varying strips of black polish and gold foil accents, with unique patterns on each nail.
Incorporating another color, into your black and gold nails, like this soft pink, is such a simple way to brighten up the whole manicure.
Once you have the black and pink fully painted and dry, add a few swipes of a top coat, and gently tap small pieces of gold foil on the base color until flat.
Black nail polish can give off a mysterious, and even sophisticated feel to it, whereas a gold set of nails can present as luxurious, and extravagant—and by combining the two together into one manicure, you’ll get one glamorous manicure that encapsulates the perfect balance between the two colors.
To add the perfect finishing touch for the festive season – add glitter. Glitter can be added to a few accent nails or splashed onto tips for a touch of sparkle.
For an eye-catching look, arrange glitter into geometric patterns that will certainly be an everyday glamorous look.
The allure of matte nails is the texture and smooth look. A non-shiny finish is not only rich and sumptuous, but can just as easily be accented with designs.
For a fun play on texture, a black matte base looks sleek against contrasting gold accents or gold glitter. Alternating nails offer an impact via glossy black nails, which contrasts well with the matte.
Gold contrasts with the matte and creates a muted but very upscale manicure.
A variety of expressive designs, including rhinestones and star patterns. Accents, especially in gold, are a great pairing for a fun manicure.
Swirl nail art is intriguing, especially when the intricate designs are done in gold.
There’s something captivating about these intricate patterns, especially when the base is kept minimal.
The ideal gold shade complements every skin tone and nail length, and is the perfect touch of glamour.
