Such a technique gives a win-win result: on the one hand, a festive background is generated that emphasizes the solemnity and importance of the event, on the other, there is a certain restraint in emotions, a self-esteem is demonstrated.

The good news is that such a design can be done in a comfortable home environment, which significantly reduces cash costs and reduces long hours spent in a beauty salon.

It is worth considering that various options can be generated from several templates. If you make a fantasy, you will always get something original and unique. Any template can be a starting point for creating a unique manicure. For example, on a burgundy nail, you can draw fantastically beautiful ornaments of gold tone. Such a composition will look unusual.

Over the past ten years, fashion-conscious girls have become partial to minimalism. This can explain the fact that designs began to appear when small golden stones are drawn along the perimeter of the nails. To recreate them is not difficult, while the effect can be very significant, such a manicure always looks irresistible.

Sometimes satiation comes from the presence of a golden manicure, in this case you can "switch" to various patterns that can be painted with varnishes of various compositions and pigments.

One cannot but add that the charm of golden hues is that even to neutral patterns you can add small blotches of this color, while something unusual will always come out. Golden manicure is an almost endless field for fruitful experiments.

All-weather gold manicure is another attractive feature of it. It looks great both for those who walk in sneakers and for ladies who wear high-heeled shoes to go to the theater or restaurant in the evening.

It is very fashionable to wear a manicure on which there is an image of gold scales on the background of the ocean. The “water” theme always looks advantageous and democratic at the same time.

Office clothing can always be tinted with golden “moon” shades. Such a design is not too striking, at the same time focuses on femininity and nobility.

Sexuality in clothes can be emphasized by nails that glitter with gold glitter. Also, a variety of ornaments that can be arranged along the entire plane of the nail in the most incredible combinations will never go out of fashion.

An asymmetric composition also has its merits. This emphasizes:

• the creative beginning of the owner of a manicure;
• independence of her thinking;
• ability to independent judgments and conclusions.

It is these factors that can explain why asymmetric design holds the lead for a long time.

Also, nails are often decorated with a special textured foil, applying gold to one nail (it can be the little finger), the remaining fingers remain in black colors.

A design in tones of gold and silver will never go out of fashion, such a combination will be unchanged in popularity. The most basic example would be a chessboard-style coloring. Looks good black and gold color, as well as green and gold.

Nowadays, you can buy gel varnishes in which there are sparkles, including gold. The smaller their fraction, the thinner and smoother the layer will be, but you can experiment here ad infinitum. Also, a field for creating original images can be a mixture of different shades.

Varnishes with reddish gold and white shimmer are in good demand. The so-called duochromes also look spectacular when a game of various shades occurs.

The method of applying gold sand is very interesting. Before this, you should carefully prepare the nails, apply the primer correctly. Often use special varnishes that mimic:

• wet sand;
• gold or silver foil;
• various fabrics.

Metallic varnish that shimmers in the light and looks very advantageous does not go out of fashion.

Among the shortcomings, it is worth mentioning that it is not easy to apply such substances. It’s better not to work with such compounds on your own, but to entrust their application to the master. Gel polishes require applying not in one or two layers, moreover, they must be perfectly even.

Making a gold manicure yourself is not difficult. Will be needed:

• foil;
• colorless varnish;
• protective covering.

If everything is done correctly, then the manicure can last more than a week. It is recommended to take golden varnishes that change color depending on the light intensity. The technology for applying them is as follows:

• nails are painted with black varnish (except for the little fingers);
• colored composition covers the nails on the index fingers;
• foil is attached to them, which is then removed after drying;
• then the nails are coated with a colorless coating.

The completeness of the image can be made without the use of "gold", for example, use rhinestones. So, in any case, the masters advise. Rhinestones can look harmonious in any pattern, their combination with gold is another direction for creativity. 80% of the combinations of rhinestones and gold look good. If you say that a combination of rhinestones and gold manicure is suitable for any girl - this will not be an exaggeration.

The charm of the golden manicure lies in the fact that at the right moment it can look very solemn, almost prim. French manicure can sparkle with new colors, if you just change the white color to gold. In this form, you can put forward for any occasion in a chic restaurant or indoor night club.

Such a design is not shameful to do even on the day of marriage. Stylists advise using foil to create a jacket. Places of "smiles" are processed with special glue. Special strips are made of foil, which are glued as templates. Then gold paint is applied, after drying the templates come off. To keep the manicure for a long time, it is coated with a topcoat.

For nails, you should take varnishes, in principle, any, most importantly, that they are the right density. The reason is simple: liquid substances do not allow you to create the necessary midtones of appropriate saturation. Checking when buying how thick the varnish is is quite simple. You should tilt the bottle left and right. If the fluid flows too quickly, it will be uncomfortable to use it.

Gold manicure looks good when varnishes with various effects are applied. Now the color is metallic, which shimmers in the sun. Girls usually use a gel polish that lasts on the nail for a very long time (unlike ordinary varnish). Golden gel polish is very expensive and it is not so easy to find it, so professionals recommend using the so-called “rubbing” method. Required for this:

• sparkles;
• main coating;
• pusher;
• top
• primer;
• sticks;
• fixing solution;
• UV lamp.

Spangles are applied to the base layer and gently rubbed, then everything is dried under the lamp. Such a procedure can be carried out in several layers, achieving the effect of a mirror or gold leaf.

A manicure with a golden background or drawings and prints is an important element in creating a unique and original image of any woman.
