These elegant nails are ideal for those extra special dates in your diary such as weddings, parties and holidays, for an extra touch of glamour that could even be matched with your accessories.

At your next salon appointment, Huber-Millet says to ask for ‘Chrome Finish Nails’ and be sure to show a photograph or explain your desired finish as this will change the colour of the polish they use.

“For instance, a milky white base with pearlescent powder creates a classic, ethereal effect, while a pink or nude base offers a more modern, chic vibe,” Huber-Millet says.

Though they are perfect for occasions, Huber-Millet encourages: “Pearlescent nails are great for everyday wear, offering a sophisticated and polished appearance that complements both casual and professional outfits.”

If you want to recreate the look at home Huber-Millet says The Gel Bottle is a long-lasting brand to invest in: “Some of my favourite colours include Marshmallow and Silk, which look stunning with a Pearl or Mirror Chrome Powder. Alternatively, you can achieve this look with polishes like CND Vinylux Negligee, Essie Gilded Galaxy, and Nailberry Star Dust.”
