The end of the year is upon us, and it’s time to celebrate with one of the season’s chicest manicure trends: champagne nails. These luxurious nail designs combine soft metallic tones, chrome finishes, and shimmering accents to create looks that are equal parts elegant and festive.
“Champagne nails are trending right now because they’re simple yet elevated—perfect for New Year’s,” says celebrity nail artist Trenna Ann. “They match any outfit and pop with the addition of chrome powder, making them a sophisticated evolution of Hailey Bieber’s iconic glazed donut nails.”
Beyond chrome, celebrity nail artist Brittney Boyce encourages experimenting with shimmer polish, magnetic cat-eye effects, and velvet finishes to personalize your look. The versatility of champagne nails allows you to keep it minimal or go bold, all while maintaining their signature sparkle.
