Whether you prefer simple nail art, classic French manicures, and negative space manicures, or complicated abstract designs and all of New York Fashion Week’s current nail trends, there is a rose gold set to suit your nail shape and style.
Silver manicures and yellow gold nails have dominated salon requests for years because to their glamorous and exquisite appeal, similar to shades of nude, pink, white, and red nail lacquer. However, it would be wrong of us not to include their mood-boosting, glow-inducing, rosier sister shade in the seasonal manicure rotation for fall, winter, spring, and summer.
After all, have you seen all the rose gold nail designs flying around Instagram? Spoiler alert—we did, and we’re here to reveal what we discovered. Find 34 rose gold nail art ideas below, suitable for both simple and extravagant manicures.
1. Rose Gold Swatch
Let’s get started with an easy-to-create nail look. To achieve this look, simply swipe a coat of metallic nail paint across the center of each nail. Don’t forget the topcoat!
2. Rose Gold Triangles
Forget about cuticle half moons. We adore this rose gold manicure with baseline triangles.
3. Rosy Galaxy
The swirly blend of white, gold particles, and rose gold shimmer creates the ideal milky galaxy finish. Each nail is slightly different, making this an incredibly distinctive and one-of-a-kind alternative.
4. Disco Dots
For a party-ready appearance that screams bachelorette manicure or New Year’s Eve nails, try this sparkly, rose gold set with lined up sequins that mimic a disco ball.
5. Green and Rose Gold
Paintbox (the makers of this look) describes this mani as “heaven and earth”—and we couldn’t agree more.
6. Marble Swirls
If you’re not sure whether you should go all-in on a rose gold design, how about a marble swirl stripe instead?
7. Rose Gold Foil
We love the look of these blush pink manicures with rose gold foil glitter accents. You, too? You should bookmark them for your future appointment.
8. Rose Chrome
We had to stop mid-scroll when we saw these rose gold nails with a chrome polish. Aren’t they fabulous? When you arrange your next nail appointment, be sure your manicurist can perform this dip powder magic.
9. Rose Gold and Nude
Glittery rose gold triangles continue into pale nude tips, creating a minimalist manicure we can’t get enough of.
10. Cherry Blossom
Rose gold diamonds are central to this cherry blossom manicure. The 3D accent adds more dimension (literally) to the modest floral design while coordinating with the rose gold tint.
11. Rosy Base
These rose gold nails are simple yet gorgeous. To recreate the look, begin with a baby pink base and use striping tape to split off the bottom quarter of your nail. Fill the area with metallic rose gold polish, and voilà.
12. Rose Gold Accent Nails
These baby pink nails appear even more elegant with rose gold glitter-dipped pinkies and a hint of sparkle on the ring fingers.
13. Solid Rose Gold
Rose gold is a lovely color, and it can be a terrific focal point on its own. Of course, a glittering chrome finish, as shown in this manicure, may only heighten the allure.
14. Allover Holographic
These chrome nails make a subtle homage to the rose gold nail trend. Find a funky-colored polish or experiment with nail stickers.
15. Holographic Rose Gold
Say hello to a very simple rose gold nail style. All you need for this look is a roll of holographic rose gold nail striping tape.
16. Metallic Ombre
We follow the rule: the more metallic, the better. This darker rose gold tint that fades into gold is a unique take on the color trend. Silver star studs are also used to provide drama.
