The Best Black and Gold Nail Polishes and Styles – Discover the Ultimate Hacks!

Black and gold – two colors synonymous with style, elegance and classic glamor. Gold, offset beautifully by a deep, dangerous black, can shine in glorious warmth and splendor, whilst black looks sleek and slick next to gold.

Any occasion can be enhanced and uplifted by this two color combo, as can any manicure.

Designing your own black and gold nails is great fun, and there are so many variations. How about gold rhinestones on a bed of matte black polish, or crackle nails? If you’re feeling adventurous you could try using a nail pen to draw a unique design on each nail.

You can really let your imagination run free, and remember, whatever is trending now in the mani world, you can always start a new trend.

However, there are also plenty of black and gold nail hacks if you’re in a rush, and here’s my top three.

 

1) ILNP Black Gold Flake Nail Polish – Silhouette 

What Makes it Great

ILNP polishes are always eye-catching, and this is no different. A rich, lush black, with a galaxy of gold flecks. Twinkling like the brightest golden stars, this unusual polish gives a luxuriant decadence to your manicure. Suitable for any occasion, from daywear to the most extravagant black-tie event, Silhouette just keeps on giving, and it was nearly two weeks before I spotted the first chip.

Where it Could be Improved

Like many darker polishes, I had to apply two coats to get a streak-free finish.

2) Elite99 Cat Eye Nail Polish – Black with Gold Eye

What Makes it Great

This polish from Elite99 is fun, fun, fun. Using a magnetic wand while the polish is still wet, you can create some simply awesome effects. The gold particles, being attracted to the magnet, follow where it leads – swirls, lines, dots, anything is possible. I created spirals on alternate nails, with a diagonal swipe of gold on the others, and received countless compliments. When the first chip appeared after 16 days, I almost cried.

Where it Could be Improved

It became obvious that this polish didn’t want to leave me, so it took a bit of time and effort to prize it off my nails (or maybe that was just my reluctance to give it up).

The Final Verdict

Magnetic polish is awesome, and allows you to create some ultra stunning effects. You need this in your kit box!

3) Beetles Black Gold Glitter Gel Nail Polish Set

Beetles Black Gold Glitter Gel Nail Polish Set - 6 Colors White Silver Rose Glitter Gel Polish Kit Soak Off UV LED Nail Gel Kit, 7.3 ml Each Bottle Gel Nail Art New Year Gifts Box

What Makes it Great

Super cute and uber stylish, this set of 6 gel nail polishes from beetles comes with a black and shimmery gold polish, amongst other metallic shades. Gorgeous for a celebration, but why leave them for special occasions? They’re perfect for every day wear too, especially as they are non-toxic and have no harsh ingredients that could result in nail damage. Wear 1 color, or mix and match, maybe even try out some nail art. The possibilities are endless! These polishes are cured under a UV light so will last weeks without chipping.

Where it Could be Improved

These colors aren’t available individually, but when they’re all this pretty I don’t mind buying the set, especially when they’re such good value for money!

Gorgeous colors, easy to apply and long lasting. A great buy
