One nail look has steadily dominated major nail trends: chrome. Chrome nails have the versatility, ease and wow factor to go from work to play and everything in between. And among all the chrome looks out there, one stands above the rest: the ultra-reflective, super-classy mirror chrome nails.
Chrome Goes Classic
Chrome nails come in all shapes and colors. They’re known to be an easy way to pump up the effect of any manicure, and they’re simple enough to accomplish at home. Thanks to effect kits and chrome dips, like Tom Bachik’s brand-new chrome powders, you don’t even need a gel system to get an unbeatable shine.
But mirror chrome nails take us back to a simple and clean look that still maintains some edge. Metallics have already proven to be a big winner with mani trends, and this look narrows down on the most high-shine, reflective silver. The result is a mirror finish that reads upscaled and elegant, with just a touch of rockstar energy.
