These metallic manicures will have magnetic results for those bold enough to try them out.
From gold inspirations to varnishes that actually include magnetic particles inside them, the metallic look has taken many twists and turns since its initial popularization. Adding a chromatic and extra-shiny appearance to any nail look, these styles are typically integrated into manicures instead of pedicures, and make continual comebacks over the years. Golden looks tend to be more popular around winter seasons, while magnetic looks have really taken off in the summer season.
Bringing some nerdy science into trendy manicures, these metallic manicures add an extra visual element into nail looks. Sure to continue in popularity and undergo many more transformations, this style isn't going anywhere.
