For anyone who is looking to illuminate their fingertips this season, gold nail art is a perfect way to perfect your manicure for summertime’s party circuit. Whether you’re hitting the dance floor or simply looking for some sparkle, gold nails are no longer restricted to the holidays. As we embrace midsummer temperatures, here are a few gorgeous nail art ideas which involve pops of gold.

Refresh your talons with navy blue and gold nail art: For a striking effect, try integrating gold with contrasting white and navy blue nails. Polish three fingernails with a dark navy nail lacquer, and paint another nail with a glittery gold shade. Meanwhile, accent your middle fingernail with cool jagged stripes of white, gold and blue for a chic, eye-catching finish.

Accessorize your matte grey polish with gleaming gold tips: If you prefer simplicity, paint your nails with a solid matte slate grey shade. For a finishing touch, polish the tips of each fingernail with shining chrome gold nail polish. Apply a top coat, and prepare to stun as you get ready for the party circuit.

Accent your fingertips with gold, black and white patterns: Bring the season’s quirky prints into your nail art statement, by polishing each fingernail with black and white geometric patterns. Embrace bold asymmetrical designs, with stripes of varying widths and lengths. Next, adorn your nails with tiny sections of shimmering gold polish in order to create visual interest.
