23 chic silver nail ideas to wear all winter long

What makes a good winter manicure? Cool tones, frosty finishes, trendy designs…basically everything you’ll find when looking for silver nail ideas.
Silver is a long-standing cool-girl winter nail color. It looks festive enough for the holidays — and especially appropriate for New Year’s Eve — while still standing out from the sea of red and green glitter. But since it also plays the role of neutral (silver jewelry goes with everything, after all), you can wear silver nails throughout the winter season.
Even the simplest silver manicures have such diversity: you can opt for a polish with a metallic or glitter finish, a semi-translucent base or a subtle frost in just one coat. At the salon, you can request a futuristic mirrored chrome effect or get creative with silver nail art. Whether you prefer a minimalist look, like a sparkly micro-French tip, or a statement manicure, like disco ball nails, there are plenty of ways to match color to the shape and mood of your nails.
