Best Rose Gold Nails To Try In 2024

Here, the white swirl design on the ring finger stands out as the accent nail. The variety of shades and French tips go together without looking too busy. These long almond shaped nails are a beauty industry favorite! Add a layer of clear top coat like Bellacures does for a high-shine glossy finish.

Deep Rose Gold Nails
I always love the designs done by nail expert Natalie Kirk, and this is one of my favorites! These deep rose gold nails feature a contrasting nude base which lets the overall color stand out more. Also worth noting is the shape. It isn’t as sharp as stiletto nails and isn’t as round as oval nails — these strike a nice in-between.
