When it comes to the hottest manicures in Hollywood right now, chrome manicures are truly at the top of the list of ultimate "cool girl" manicure tricks.
Celebrities have been rocking just about every mirror-like nail color in recent months. Dua Lipa rocked a disco-inspired silver manicure, Hailey Bieber debuted chocolate nails and Beyoncé had a bronze moment on her renaissance tour , while Kourtney Kardashian Barker got a cream glazed donut pedicure...and that's just scratching the surface.
Along with equally popular colors like vampire black and festive red, blue chrome nails are an underrated manicure that experts predict will be hugely popular in the winter months ahead.
"Frost" Blue Chrome Nails
While fall is often associated with cozy warm tones (think Halle Bailey's pumpkin spice halo nails or Sydney Sweeney's grilled tortoise-print designs), winter 2024 is bringing a wintry, cooler palette.
"I'm sure blue pastels with chrome accents are going to be popular all winter long, giving them an icy, snowy feel," manicurist Rachel Joseph recently shared with Bustle.
“Winter shouldn’t be all about pastel colors,” said Michelle Nguyen, founder and CEO of PLA. "I love seeing some soft and bright colors during the colder months."
Nguyen predicts that blue "winter frosted toes" will be a popular pedicure choice this season, so suggests applying a colored powder in "crystal blue," such as PLA's Good for the Sole or Baddie O'Clock. "Your toes are sure to pop and look good even in the winter."
Ice blue nail polish is the key point
