Chrome nails are trending: 21 metallic designs to save and screenshot for your next mani
A hard, shiny metal, chrome is traditionally used to protect other, softer metals. This is why toasters, ovens and kettles tend to have a chrome outer, as well as tall buildings or skyscrapers. Stick with me, I'm going somewhere with this unsolicited science lesson.
Recently, chrome has been making its way into our beauty routines with chrome nails trending on Instagram, TikTok and red carpets worldwide.
What are chrome nails?
When it comes to nails, chrome is being used as a visual effect, mimicking the reflective, glossy nature of the metal. Less shimmery than glitter or micro-glitter, chrome nails have a signature uniform gleam that sparkles when polished.
Why are chrome nails trending again?
Recently popularised by celebrities like Lizzo (whose chrome nails somewhat stole the show at last year's MTV VMAs), chrome nails feel like the edgier older sibling of the softer trends we saw last year. Think glazed doughnut nails and micro-flower designs.
