Black Chrome Nails Are Taking Over

We’ve seen a lot of nail trends come and go as the seasons change. Fruity nails are a vibe for the warmer months but tend to die down when fall and winter arrive. Tortoiseshell manicures have the opposite effect and thrive in autumn. But one look that’s remained a solid choice no matter the weather is chrome nails. To date, the trend has captured our attention with various colors like blue, brown and pink. However, the latest style, black chrome nails, is the one chic look we’ve all been missing. Sleek, polished and oh-so-edgy, these dark and shiny manicures are taking over Instagram. If you haven’t already given them a try, you’re in luck. We’ve rounded up the best black chrome nail looks to lean into. Keep scrolling to find your next manicure and thank us later.
