Leave it to Rihanna, the queen bee of nail polish, to take an opaque, shimmery metallic color to the next level. Chrome is more of a powerful gold-and-silver version of its true silver sister gunmetal and it is also much darker than pale gray.
I still can't quite believe that metallic nails are still this much of a sensation. Even LC can't get enough of glittery metallic nails! Below are a couple of rocker-cool chrome polish suggestions for Summer. Enjoy!
Essie Steel-ing the Scene ($8) is a bronzey-pewter (effectively a chrome) shade of nail polish that contains flecks and packs a lot of punch. For those of you who are too shy to wear this on your nails, it makes for a great toenail color.
Tropez Super Pearl Nail Enamel in Black Pearl ($1.99) is a deep, opaque gray that looks amazing with one sheer coat of Tini Beauty's Gold Haze Topper as a topcoat. The result is a metallic, high-shine glossy finish — and the best part is that it's a unique color!

I now is summer,
1but this colors
look so good....
i still love my
Sally Hansen Blue
Gunmetal polish...
Kinda cute...since I hate Gold Nail polish and adore all things silver
2I like it, but I prefer brighter colors in the summertime.
3They're all right. I don't like Rhianna's long nails though, never have.
4I hate it.
5Those nails need to seriously go, like right now! But the color is amazing.
6i like it...but i loathe gold nail polih and love everything solver ..........
7I really like this trend, but since it's summer I like wearing brighter nail polish.
8I like the chrome colors. I was looking for something like this this weekend but came up empty-handed.
9I like it!
10The colors are pretty, but there's nothing like hot pink nails in the summertime!
11I love the Chrome nails look but Rihanna's nails are too long and square for this color.
12Ew.....thats kinda gross looking.I like pastels a lot better
13This is pretty but I think it would look best on short manicured nails. IMO long nails couldn't carry it off.
14Yea, I too love her outlandish trend setting colors, but I wish that her manicurist would trim her nails and round the edges! I also wish the Essie shade had a little more "Omph" to it. I'm sure covering it with a little Seche Vite will make it more appealing...!
I have passed this chrome trend (Ladies there ARE better shades, don't let these 2 scare you off!) and nary a blip on the beauty scene I noted.
15I THINK that the time for this colors hay-day will be with the coming fall fashion. I like the idea of bright colors for warm weather, but I just colored my (now short) nails a midnight-cherry-purple this evening so who am I to talk? ~_~
luv shimmery golds and silvers, but I don't think I could pull off a gunmetal - it looks too witchy...
16Do any of you remember Chanel's "Metal Argent" (which means silvery metal)? That pretty much fits the chrome bill. I was wondering when shades like that would make a comeback:-)
17Looks fun!
18i would only like it on peoples toenails not fingers.but i still kinda like the color!:<</p> 19
