Metallic nail ideas
Metallic nails have a soft metal shine in gold, silver, bronze, rose gold or colored metals. They feel festive, but in small details like thin lines or tips they also work for every day.

Questions about metallic nails
Gold or silver: which suits me?
Gold often flatters warm skin tones and silver often flatters cool ones, but both work for everyone. Trying both on with AR is the quickest way to see.
Are metallic nails the same as chrome?
Not quite. Metallic polish has a softer, brushed shine from shimmer particles. Chrome is a smoother, mirror-like finish made with powder.
How do I wear metallic nails every day?
Use metal as a detail: a thin French tip, a line or a small accent on a nude base.
