This season’s manicures, from glazed chrome to micro florals.
From glass-like chrome to hand-painted micro florals, this season's manicures lean into detail without tipping into high-maintenance territory.
What's trending
- Chrome and glazed finishes over a neutral base.
- Micro florals on one or two accent nails instead of a full set.
- Soft, milky nudes as an alternative to classic French tips.
Most of these look more intricate than they are — a glazed chrome effect, for example, is just a powder pigment pressed over tacky top coat, something you can do at home with the right tools.
