I live for a good spring nail trend—give me the pretty pinks, butter yellows, and dotted floral designs. Frankly, I don’t really care (like, even a little) that they’re basic manicure options—I consider these shades and designs cliché for a reason. They’re that good. But! Throw a little fresh and funky idea into the mix, and I’m quick to give it a go. Such is the case with my current obsession: the pastel chrome nail trend.
Blending the chrome that the nail world came to know and love with Hailey Bieber’s glazed donut nails, featuring a pretty pastel hue underneath, results in a cheery, shine-filled manicure that still exudes a sophisticated aura. Robin’s egg blue alone? It’s pretty. But robin’s egg blue with a chrome finish? Now, we're introducing some edge. “Adding an iridescent sparkle helps your manicure pick up all the sparkling sunshine,” says celebrity nail artist Miss Pop. “Chrome pastels are polite and sweet, but with an added touch of magic that gives grown-up mermaid vibes.”
