We’ve seen the chrome nails trend take over this summer, with gorgeous glazed shades. However, now that fall is upon us, this chic trend has evolved, to incorporating stunning shades of brown. Initially popularized by Hailey Bieber’s iconic glazed donut look, adding a chrome sheen to brown nails is the perfect way to elevate your classic fall brown manicure. There are endless possibilities with this trend, from dark chocolate brown to light latte shades, and even creative twists on the French manicure. Today, I am excited to share some beautiful brown chrome nail inspiration with you, and guide you through the steps to recreate this trendy manicure at home. So, stay tuned and get ready to elevate your nail game for fall!

How to Get the Look
1. Prep Your Nails:
Start by cleaning and shaping your nails. Push back the cuticles and buff the surface of the nails to create a smooth base for the polish.
2. Apply Base Coat:
Apply a clear base coat to protect your nails and help the polish adhere better.
3. Apply Brown Polish:
Choose your desired shade of brown polish. From dark chocolate to milk chocolate or even latte brown, there are many options. Then, apply two coats, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly.
4. Apply Chrome Powder:
Once the brown polish is dry, apply a chrome powder over the nails. Gently rub the powder in using a sponge applicator until you achieve a shiny, chrome finish.
5. Seal the Look:
Then, apply a clear top coat to seal in the chrome powder and add extra shine. Allow the top coat to dry completely.
6. Clean Up:
Finally, clean up any excess polish on your skin or cuticles using a small brush dipped in nail polish remover.
7. Optional – Add Designs:
If you want to add an extra flair to your manicure, feel free to add some fun designs or accents. For this, try using a thin brush or nail art tools and gems.
