What Are Holographic & Chrome Nails?
Holographic nails reflect a rainbow-like finish that shifts color depending on the light and angle, creating a sharp, multi-dimensional look. Chrome nails provide a smooth, metallic surface with a mirror-like sheen, offering a bold and modern appearance.
Both finishes are statement looks on their own—no extra art or embellishments needed. They suit any nail length or shape and are available in a wide range of shades, from soft pastels to deep silvers, rose golds, and more.
Our nail artists use high-quality products and precision techniques to ensure a flawless, even surface that shines beautifully and lasts.

Whether you love the cosmic glow of holographic nails or the edgy shine of chrome nails, our team can help you select the right tone and finish to match your personality and mood.
How to Care for Chrome & Holographic Nails
Want your nails to keep shining longer? Follow these simple but effective care tips:
Moisturize daily
Healthy nails start with hydration. Apply cuticle oil once or twice a day to keep your cuticles soft and prevent cracking. Pair it with a nourishing hand cream to lock in moisture so your nails stay glossy and fresh, instead of looking dull or dry.
Avoid harsh chemicals
Cleaning products, soaps, and even too much hand sanitizer can strip away shine or cause lifting. Protect your nails by wearing gloves when washing dishes, scrubbing, or handling chemicals. A little protection goes a long way in preserving that mirror-like finish.
Touch up your top coat
To extend the life of your holographic or chrome nails, apply a thin layer of clear top coat every 2–3 days. This not only refreshes the glossy shine but also acts as a shield against chips, scratches, and everyday wear.
Skip picking or peeling
It’s tempting to peel when you see a small chip, but doing so can damage the natural nail underneath. Instead, let the pros handle it. Book a quick touch-up, and we’ll fix the issue while keeping your nails healthy and intact.
Book regular maintenance
For nails that always look photo-ready, schedule routine salon visits. A professional refresh ensures your chrome or holographic finish stays smooth, shiny, and flawless—without you worrying about at-home mistakes.
