We all know that adding a little chrome to a manicure makes it better. A chrome manicure has a mirror-like sheen that looks gorgeous in person and on social media, and the appearance is also extremely adaptable. Chrome nails come in a variety of hues, from vivid green to soft pink.

Rock them as an accent nail style, or pair them with trendy nail patterns to create timeless nail lewks like the French manicure. So basically, there’s a chrome nail style out there to fit every vibe you’re going for.
And while chrome manicures have been popping off all year, two-tone chrome nails are coming to the fore. Celebrities who have pulled off the look include Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, and Sydney Sweeney. This indicates that mix-and-match colors are going to be trendy in the near future.
So if you’re sold and want in on this new nail trend, we’ve got some inspos just for you:
Frosted Donut
Blend your white French tips into a light pink or brown, then top with chromatic micro-powder for glossy, natural-looking nails. As a result, there will be a touch more shine to the minimalist glazed donut style.
Purple Ombré
Opt for purple tips that flow into a soft pink shade to modernise the ombré style for fall, and then coat your nails in an extra-shiny chrome to create a metallic finish. These two colours will mix together even more effectively because of the high shine finish.
Peachy
Achieve a stunning marbling effect by mixing a couple of colours, such as pink and orange, under a chrome powder. You can create a sparkly mani that resembles sherbet with sprinkles on top by adding playful finishing touches, like these tiny diamonds.
Rose Gold
Another wonderful approach to reduce the reflection of a conventional chrome manicure is to use the two-tone trend. Instead of using a metallic chrome powder if you don’t want the whole metallic impact, choose a more muted peach tint and paint your base a colour that complements your skin tone.
Hot Cocoa
Take inspiration from your favourite beverages, like iced coffee and espresso, and choose a mocha chrome for your next manicure. While caramel-colored manicures are in vogue for autumn, chocolate chrome nails will offer a bit more appeal.
Holographic
When you can’t decide between two colours at the salon, two-tone chrome is your best option. A little chromatic powder can let you combine two of your favourite colours for a striking colour combination.
Strawberry Glazed Donut
The glazed donut nails came first. Next, there were donut nails covered in chocolate glaze. Naturally, strawberry-glazed donut nails quickly gained popularity, and we’re just as in love with this style as we are with the others.
Multi-Coloured
Try two polishes in comparable tones on each finger for a futuristic manicure, such as light and dark blue or pink and red. A fun 3D impression can be achieved by choosing an aura pattern and an ombré combination, covering it with chrome, and adding an intriguing swirl of clear acrylic.
Barbiecore
For the ultimate Barbiecore-everything manicure that will perfectly complement the year, dip your fingertips in a purple lacquer, paint your nail beds baby pink, and then dust everything with pearlized holographic chrome powder.
Icy White
For something clean, you can opt for a white to pink ombre design. It’s the ideal silent luxury interpretation of two-tone chrome nails because of how sleek and simple it looks.
Creamsicle
A mani inspired by a creamsicle is the epitome of summertime beauty. We adore the way orange polish blends seamlessly with delicate chrome accents to produce a stylish gradient effect.
Opal Chrome
Consider holographic chrome powder over a sheer polish for a more subdued chrome-like effect.
Pale Pink Chrome
For a more organic look with the chrome nail trend, use a chrome powder over a clear base. But in reality, no powder was used to produce the mani shown above.
