Up until now, I have never experimented with metallic nail polish but I’ve discovered that it’s much more versatile than I realized. See, the holidays are a funny time because half the time I’m bundling up in bulky sweaters to keep warm and the rest of the time I’m dressing up for holiday parties. But the classic chrome manicure can take anyone from day into evening easily.

From glittery gold to vampy purple, here are the best metallic nail polishes to take you through the holiday season.
