Chrome nail polish comes in a variety of colors that your typical nail polish should come in. You can get a range of really bright colors such as reds, pinks, greens, blues, orange, yellow and so on. But these colors do not bring out the chrome look that you are really after. What most bright chrome colors look like after they’re painted on and dried, is regular nail polish with bits of glitter or other “added” shine effect. What we mean is that they do not really bring out that metallic look.

Bright colors do not bring out the chrome look

What does bring out that shiny, metallic look are colors such as silver, gold and bronze! Because these colors are metallic based already, the shine factor really comes out when you use these types of colors. Of course the brand and the type of color are really important as well.

Top coats are also important to finish off that chrome look and add extra shine. Check out our reviews section for what we think are the best chrome nail polish brands and their best colors.
