Chrome nails are one of the most popular nail trends for winter – but instead of a bold silver or gold shades (both of which look particularly good at Christmas), we’re opting for more natural colours and softer shades in 2025. Chocolate brown, bordeaux or taupe look elegant and wintry, especially with the metallic shimmer on longer nails.
