16 Winter Chrome Nail Ideas for a Festive, Frosted Mani

It's no secret that we're big fans of the chrome nail craze. From futuristic titanium and strawberry glaze to the head-turning fire chrome manis popularized by Selena Gomez, there's just something so alluring about this high-shine nail art trend.

Undoubtedly, what continually draws us to chrome manicures is that they can be worn all year round and for every occasion. To prove it, we've rounded up over a dozen winter chrome nail ideas to help inspire your next mani. Check them out below.

01 Cobalt Chrome Nails

Whether you're celebrating Hanukkah or just looking to embrace ultra-cool colors for winter, these cobalt chrome nails are worth checking out.

02 Silver Polka Dot Nails

We love this polka-dot silver French manicure.

03 Blue and Silver Swirl Nails

Blue and silver is a classic winter color combo (not to mention one that works well for anyone celebrating Hanukkah). This winter chrome nail look is more minimalist, with only the slightest hint of silver. Still, the impact is eye-catching.

04 Santa Hat Chrome Nails

How adorable is this Santa hat French manicure? The opalescent chrome base gives it a cool, whimsical vibe. 

05 Metallic Gold Nails

Gold might seem like a warmer tone reserved for summer, but we're here to remind you that it's a regal color deserving of the mani spotlight all year round.

06 Split-Tip Chrome French

This stiletto winter chrome nail look is a bit of an optical illusion.

07 Iridescent Moonstone Nails

Looking for solid-color inspo but in a cooler tone? 

08 Black and Silver Abstract Nails

While silver chrome nails are top of mind, check out this abstract nail art showcasing the shade. To get ultra-crisp lines, we suggest using nail tape or ultra-thin washi tape to section out your borders.

09 Silver Marble Nails

Embrace an icy nail look with a marbled silver mani.

10 Red Winter Chrome Nails

For a spicy and festive winter chrome nail look, you can never go wrong with red—especially a red velvet chrome set combining two of the year's biggest trends. Simply start with a black base and top it off with red chrome powder. Finish with a shimmery velvet on the French tip nails.

11 Purple Chrome Nails

Purple chrome nails might feel more autumnal, but as a cool shade, we say they can work for winter, too. 

12 Light Green Chrome Nails

Pale green metallic nails fit into two categories: chrome and hints of spring. They're soft and subtle, cool and inviting, all while looking ahead to warmer weather.

13 Simple Silver Swirl Nails

If you love the idea of minimalist silver chrome nails sans a pop of color, here's what it could look like. Pretty, no?

14 Chrome Winter Skittle Nails

This multicolored chrome manicure reminds us of a moodier Skittle nail look while evoking brightly-colored Christmas baubles.

15 Teal and Silver Chrome Nails

Teal is a retro winter hue that pairs beautifully with silver, glitter, and opalescent finishes. We like how the color is used in a jelly iteration here.

16 Pastel Opal Nails

For ultra-subtle winter chrome nails, consider a pastel glazed donut manicure.
