This is the trend at its most intricate. Detailed designs of florals, beetles, or even bees are layered in rich jewel tones and outlined with metallic gold, turning each nail into a tiny work of art. The effect feels straight out of an antique Tiffany lamp: ornate, nature-inspired, and completely luxe.
"I love substituting black for gold metallic veining or using gold foil and gold accents in the design," says Percival, noting how metallic details elevate the look's opulence. It's a maximalist take, but one that feels perfect for special occasions or when you want your nails to double as jewelry.
