Gold, however, like any other fish, it is difficult to imagine without the sea, therefore, in the manicure there are a variety of marine shades: from turquoise to dark blue and even black. Also relevant are all manifestations of yellow, green, white, blue. Among the primary colors must be golden. However, the glitter of gold on fish scales can be replaced with rhinestones, sequins and other additional components.
In addition, in such a manicure neon tones are in demand, allowing to make the image more vivid and vibrant.
Who is it for?
It is difficult to call a universal manicure with a pattern of goldfish on nails. Nevertheless, it is suitable for very young girls and women in age.
The main thing when creating a nail design is not to overdo it and remember age lovers of the original manicure, as well as where she will go with him. After all, it is clear that a too bright and catchy manicure will be inappropriate for a woman in years working in a large company.
It is worth noting that you can do a manicure with fish on both short and long nails, regardless of their shape.

Currently, the masters offer the most diverse nail design featuring goldfish. Among them, the most striking and popular prints can be noted, which you can try to do on your own at home.
To draw a goldfish on a black background, you will need:
- gel varnishes of black, yellow, neon, orange;
- white watercolor for nails;
- brushes of different thicknesses;
- varnish with a golden hue;
- top cover.
They begin to design the nail with a background coating - in this case it will be black. One thin layer of dark gel polish is applied to the nail plate and dried with a lamp for 1-2 minutes. The adhesive layer is not peeled off.
On the finished background, a white watercolor sketch is made: the body, tail and fins of the future fish. To fix the pattern, the nail is dried again.
The next stage is color design. To do this, paint the fish’s tail with yellow varnish and make several spots on the body and fins. Then, the tail is shaded with neon and orange and the other parts of the silhouette are painted, there is no need to clearly distinguish between yellow and orange - the transition between them should be smooth, slightly blurry. When the fish is ready, the nail is again dried under the lamp for three minutes to fix the picture.
To make the fish become golden, on the tail and fins make several strokes with a golden gel polish and again fix the result under the lamp.
At the end of the manipulations, the fins are circled in black, the back, eyes and tail are highlighted. Then, to give the picture expressiveness along the same contours with a slight indentation, they pass with white paint.
It remains to complete the final touch of an unusual and beautiful manicure - cover with a top and dry.
Fairy fish on a white background. To create such a design, watercolors for nails in the following colors will be required:
- sweet raspberries;
- sweet orange;
- gooseberry;
- black Orchid.
In addition, for the background you will need a white gel polish.
After preparing the background framework with an “orange” watercolor, a fish is drawn on the nail plate, adding a few touches of “gooseberries” and “sweet raspberries”. The finished silhouette is slightly washed off with a top and dried under a lamp.
Having mixed “orange”, “raspberry” and “black orchid” they draw shadows on the fish and around it, emphasize the contour with a thin brush and dry it again under the lamp.
Having fixed the main drawing, strokes are highlighted on it once more in white and black and the eye is drawn, after which the nail is again dried under the lamp.
In order for the fish to become truly fabulous, in the end it is decorated with sparkles.
Goldfish on a sea background. In this case, the following materials are used:
- white gel polish;
- gel paints of blue, bright green, burgundy, neon and orange;
- Gold and brown gel polish.
First of all, the nail plate is covered with a thin layer of white gel polish and dried in a lamp. After that, a blue color is applied to the nail in a chaotic manner. Then, without cleaning the brush, add green (you can also use a bright blue color) strokes and dry the nail again.
When the background is ready, the so-called undermining is done on it in white and the drawing is dried again.
They color the fish in bright burgundy with the addition of neon and orange. After the next drying, a drop of golden gel polish is put on the nail, from which the golden threads are “pulled” along the tail and fins with a thin brush. All this is again sent to the lamp.
The eye is drawn to the fish in dark brown color, and accents are also placed by it. After everything is ready, the drawing is fixed, covered with a top and sent to the final drying.
In addition to these options, there is also another design of marigolds with fish: with sequins and medium-sized rhinestones.
