Not only can anyone rock this color, but it can be done in a myriad of ways. We at Glam have curated a few simple ways to create the best coral glazed nails for anybody no matter what your style is.

The chrome will glimmer in the light and catch the attention of many without overpowering your hands.

Designs are a great way to show off your personality through your nails. After your nail technician is done with adding the chrome to your nails, have her paint on a few designs of your choosing. While we love the rainbows, you can also do hearts, stars, or even make it abstract if you would like.

There is no better way to upgrade your nails than to add a few gemstones. These little add-ons are great because you can add a few or go crazy and make different shapes or designs based on your taste.
