Chrome Nail Polish Designs
Chrome nail polish has been a huge trend this season: with its reflective shine and various color combinations, it is a scene-stealer look that you can mix and match with almost any look and outfit. With these 25 chrome nail arts, you’ll get inspired to create your own chrome manicure.
1What is A Chrome Nail Polish?
Chrome nail polishes (also called “mirror” polishes nail polishes) are known to be reflective, metallic nail polishes that feature various different shades. What we love about this design the most is its versatility: you can easily wear it on its own or style with other nail art designs, such as marble or matte nails. It is definitely an edgy and modern choice, and it takes confidence to rock it, but you are guaranteed to fall in love with it! To recreate this nail art, we recommend searching for a chrome nail polish (such as the Sally Hansen Chrome Polishes), or for metallic chrome nail stickers if you’d like to spare time and effort with the application process. On the other hand, if you would like to sprinkle just a bit of chrome shine to your manicure, buy some metallic detail stickers (such as polka dots or flowers) or a chrome powder, which you can easily tap on your polish to make it reflective.

This manicure proves that peacock, chrome and glitter looks absolutely amazing together. Besides the dark blue chrome polish, this nail art also features a beautiful, turquoise polish and detailed peacock feathers on a white base. If you are not a manicure expert yet, try to find peacock stickers instead of trying to paint it on with a brush.

If you are not sure if this trend is for you, start by only applying chrome polish to your tips. This French manicure features blue, green and purple chrome polish with a geometric edge and the beautiful, triangle placement of the small clear crystals. Because of the long shape, this whole manicure looks perfect.
9Matte & Chrome
Mauve and rose gold look amazing together, especially with a mix of metallic and chrome nail polishes. While the matte mauve polish covers the nails, the rose gold chrome nail polish is only on the tips of the nails, creating a sophisticated look. We love how this manicure still has an interesting twist with the unique tip shapes.

23Orange Queen
This orange, almost copper chrome nail reminds us of a beautiful sunset, but it’s definitely a versatile nail art that can be worn anytime for any occasion. The detail that we love the most is the gorgeous, golden crown that makes the whole manicure more “royal” and luxurious. You can also use bronze or red crystals to make it even more interesting.
24Mix & Match
Although it’s definitely a loud and over the top polish choice, chrome nail polish can work beautifully together with other different techniques and textures as well. We love everything about this nail art the contrast between the tan and black and the unicorn chrome polish, the length and shape of the nails and of course, the different chrome polishes.
25Subtle Chrome Details
Another way to add chrome polish to your manicure is to use subtle detailing, such as small stripes or polka dots. Because of its reflection, it is a shiny, scene-stealer detail even if you don’t apply too much of this. With this manicure, we love the placement of the chrome elements as well as the nude and pink nail polishes!
26Lavender Princess
Last, but definitely not least, we had to feature this lavender princess nail art. While the dark purple chrome nail polish is simply gorgeous with its reflective “mirror” shine, the lavender matte polish with the crystals is just as gorgeous. To recreate this nail art, start off by shaping your nails and making them a bit shorter – this way, your manicure will be very sophisticated and classy.
