If there’s one thing this season is not, it’s low-key. Metallic and high-shine chrome effects are key trends and rank highly on the nail hit list.
Make a statement with sheer gold or rose gold hues, as seen at both Alberta Ferretti and Mary Katrantzou, or go trash-tastic with silver foil mosaics or cracked metal strips. The trick, cite the experts, is to layer and cover with clear gloss to create a 3D effect.
Get the heavy metal looks with iZ Beauty of London’s Chrome Pigment (£6-£12). It couldn’t be easier to apply – simply brush the Chrome Pigment on top of a No Wipe Gel Polish, using an applicator (such as an eyeshadow sponge) in small strokes, buffing until the chrome is visible. Brush the excess away and seal with another coat of the No Wipe Topcoat to reveal mirrored high-shine talons. The Chrome Pigment powder is available in Emerald Gold, Liquid Gold and Mirror Shine. For a holographic finish, try the Rainbow Daze powder and take the look further by applying the powder over a coloured base.
