While gold usually reigns supreme, silver has been having a moment lately, especially in beauty. Silver manicures, in particular, have been taking over our social feeds. The beautiful thing about silver is that it’s practically a goes-with-everything neutral, so you don’t have to worry about your nails clashing with your outfit.
Another silver lining—pun intended—is that there are so many variations on silver nails. It runs the gamut, from a simple coat of silver polish to a silver chrome French mani. Need proof? Check out these 13 silver nail ideas for some major inspo.

Yes, these nails are silver, but when the chrome is at this level, you get to see practically every color in the rainbow when they catch the light. Silver has never been so multi-faceted.
Super Star

Some motifs never get old, and stars are one of them. The juxtaposition of matte black stars on a shimmery silver base makes the design feel fresh and unexpected.

Since silver is a head-turner on its own, it’s often thought of as a one-and-done hue. But this design proves that silver can also be a starting point. Paint an abstract rainbow, add butterflies, and you have a super unique look.
Silver Squiggles
