We've never met a Smith & Cult nail polish we didn't like. This unique metallic shade features a dark, creamy base with iridescent swirls of magenta. It's perfect for winter — or any time you want to add a little interest to your tips.
Zoya's Delaney shade has us all mesmerized. It's a royal, metachromatic color featuring shades of metallic pewter, blue, purple, and green. We love this one as a pedi color and fully support you wearing it on your fingers if you're really feeling bold!
Everyone needs a classic metallic gold in their nail polish wardrobe, and we highly recommend Essie's Good as Gold. This chic polish resembles liquid gold and is absolutely perfect to wear during this chilly time of year.
We love this wave-making metallic nail polish from OPI. It gives us serious oil-slick vibes and mimics the fun effect you get with chrome nails, minus the fuss of the chrome application!
This metallic champagne-pink color will match anything. There's no polish like high-shine, and this glimmery pigment from Marc Jacobs gives you an opaque sheen in just one or two coats.
Silver is striking! Catch coworkers off-guard with this bold and bright shade on a Monday morning. The iconic NARS enamel is incredibly glossy; literally nothing can get in the way of its — no, your — shine. Forget nail envy; this is nail confidence.
Army chic is always in, so naturally this khaki shade from British label Burberry made the cut. The online-exclusive polish offers a metallic twist to the neutral shade, and it's a highly pigmented formula, so one coat should do the trick.
Move over, pink. With this shimmering polish from butter LONDON, nails are about to get pretty in purple. Apply as a solo-shade mani, opt for dazzling tips, or experiment with intricate designs. No matter how you wear it, Fairy Lights will be the main focus.
Turn up your nail tone with this bold lacquer from Dior that's guaranteed to get any conversation started. We'd layer it on for a show-stopping holiday look.
Get an all-in-one DIY manicure with this Sally Hansen polish that has a base coat, color, and a top coat tied together. This color, Raisin the Bar, is a metallic mauve red that won't chip and has the shine of gel polish without the price.
