Chrome manicure in berry shades – the top trend for the 2025/2026 holiday season: 7 most stylish ideas

The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice. And if you want even more sweetness? You can dip your favorite fruit in sugar syrup and roll it in sugar — voilà, a true Fruit Riot. Or you can try this effect on your nails. Berry shades always look striking, elegant, and especially fitting in the colder season.

Although berries and “berry” beauty trends are usually associated with the warmer months, this winter our favorite rich pink and purple tones are getting a new, “icy” twist. They become… frozen. Berry chrome is increasingly appearing on Instagram and red carpets, and — believe us — achieving this effect is much easier than it seems.

Below you’ll find Frosted Berry manicure ideas to inspire you to experiment this season. Yes, chrome powder requires one extra step in your beauty routine, but the result is definitely worth it.

01 Frosted Berry Manicure

Notice how the bright berry shade perfectly complements the frosty shimmer. This expressive yet softly sparkling effect is exactly what was intended. 

02 Cranberry Chrome

You can also slightly tone down the shine of a berry manicure to achieve a more classic glazed effect. This cranberry-chrome design may look a bit “tangy” compared to other options in the collection, but the charming pearlescent accents add a touch of softness and sweetness to the look.
