For instant autumnal luxury, we'll be rotating these 5 brown chrome nail looks all season long

A collage of brown chrome and shimmer nails: on the left is a close-up of a hand with a copper and brown shimmery manicure by nail artist, Julia Diogo/@paintedbyjools, followed by a pictured of a hand with a chrome brown French tip manicure by Fliss Alton/@gelsbyfliss, and finally, on the right is a picture of a hand with an almond-shaped dark brown chrome manicure, also by Fliss Alton. All images are featured in a white and grey marble-look template, with brown glitter nail polish spills.

For a manicure that mirrors the warm copper and chestnut tones of falling leaves, the flicker of cosy log fires, and the way hazy daylight dances over raindrops and frost, brown chrome nails are the answer.

As we barrel towards the chilliest months, brighter 2025 nail trends are officially being retired in favour of cosy autumn nail designs. Dainty polka dot nails in warm colour combinations are replacing pastel French tips, while burgundy has swiftly become the new red. Naturally, brown nail designs are also making their stylish return, but we've spotted one light-catching iteration, in particular, garnering requests. Brown chrome nails are, of course, not exactly a new concept; in fact, they're often a go-to in the autumn/winter, but following trends like cat eye nails, they're all the more popular this year.
