1. Gold & White

This classic color combo looks stunning together. But let’s face it, gold looks great with any color, on any set of nails, no matter what. 


Get The Duo: Pure White + 24k Gold Chrome

2. Black & Nude

As far as nail color ideas go, black and nude isn’t exactly the craziest thing we’ve ever seen. However, it is an absolute stunner, and we’ll never stop recommending it.


Get The Duo: Laven-Dare + Black To Black

3. Blue & Green

Blue and green look fabulous together — but only if they’re the right shades. And these two shades are definitely the right ones. 


Get The Duo: Skies The Limit + Tropic Like It’s Hot

4. Gold & Nude

There are a lot of nail color ideas on this list that include gold or nude, and that’s not a coincidence. Gold and nude look amazing with lots of different colors and look even more amazing together.

Pure white nails can be hit or miss, but it’s almost always a hit when it’s paired with a vibrant pink.

Have we mentioned lately how much we like nude? Because we really like it. Especially when a dark, rich red is laid on top of it.

10. Black & Purple

This color combo reminds us of an 80s windbreaker, and we really couldn’t ask for anything more special than that.

Every time we see these two colors together we’re reminded of cotton candy. And who doesn’t want to be reminded of cotton candy?
