Blue and silver are a classic winter color combination (and one that works well for those celebrating Hanukkah). This winter chrome nail look is more minimal, with just a hint of silver. Still, the impact is eye-catching.

Gold may seem like a warmer shade reserved for summer, but we’re here to remind you that it’s a majestic color that deserves to be the center of your manicure spotlight all year long. This particular shade is Trophy Life ($14) by Holo Taco.

This chrome stiletto nail look for winter is an optical illusion of sorts. It was created using black and silver chrome polish that gives the appearance of metal shifting in tone, when in fact it is a split-toe design.
