Foiled Metallics

Metallics never really go out of style — they just evolve and get more awesome. "This season’s new power metallic is emblazoned with foiling and glitter," says Arnold. "Heighten sophistication by contrasting a gold chrome nail with black edging, or doing a peachy nude nail with a slim silver perimeter, as seen on the runways at Norman Ambrose and The Blonds." To get the look, Arnold recommends picking up some gold leafing at your local craft store, applying it to wet polish with some tweezers, and sealing your million dollar mani with a top coat to protect it.
