Tips for Making Black and Gold Nails Last
Metallic gold art and foil details are always the first to dull, so seal them under a glossy top coat and refresh it every three or four days. Black polish shows every chip, so wrap the free edge carefully and keep a matching black polish for tiny touch-ups; a good base coat also stops dark pigments staining the natural nail.
From one tiny matte gold heart to full leopard-print glamour, black and gold prove Valentine nails can be dramatic and romantic at the same time. Choose your level of shine, book the appointment, and let the gold do the flirting.
