Gold Diggers: Trending Sparkly Gold Nails

Maybe Dolce & Gabbana are to blame–what with their irresistible glittering Byzantine fall 2014 fashions–or perhaps women are taking the phrase gold digging to a modified extreme; but either way, we’re not complaining! Deborah Lippmann’s sparkly gold polishes have us in a 24-karat frenzy!

Spotted on beauty editors at the unveiling of Deborah’s latest lacquer launch in New York City May 20, above, were chunky gilded manicures with holographic particles, and nothing could look more chic on the tips of our fingers as we type this very article.

Pictured above is Boom Boom Pow, $20, which is infused with real 24-karat gold dust!

How regal gold will look with couture (as in the D & G models above and below), as well as casually, with jeans and a t-shirt and an oversized amber ring.

The dichotomy of rich sparkles contrasting with casual denim looks haute yet hip. Ditto for a summer dress. Gold looks right right now when applied sheer, and of course it travels effortlessly into fall worn over an opaque metallic gold like Deborah’s Nefertiti, $17, below, with autumn’s opulent colors and textures. Shine on.
