What Are Goddess Nails?

All about impactful uses of gold, nudes and whites, these heavenly manicures highlight a dream-like Greek goddess aesthetic. (Think flowing white togas and golden circlets.) A touch of sparkle and a long profile are additional hallmarks that set goddess nails apart. You can request them as wearable or extravagant as you prefer, with their sparing use of color offering a luxe-looking neutral.

With all the major color choices of the old money-inspired look we love, goddess manicures are all about upping the energy. They tend to be more maximal than the subtle, “clean girl” looks we saw in 2024. Unique and artistic flourishes, designs and textures give goddess nails the allure of hand-crafted golden jewelry that’s fit for a divine statement.
