Best Metallic Nail Polish

Shine Bright Like a Diamond With 15 of The Best Metallic Polishes

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Wearing metallic nail polish can add an extra dose of glam to your otherwise casual beauty look, or even become a statement manicure for a special occasion. The reflective finish is so fun, you'll want to graduate from your go-to silver, rose gold, or bronze hues, to wearing metallic blues or purples everyday. With so many options available, it can be hard to decipher which are the best of the lot. Luckily we've looked far and wide for high-quality formulas and hues that are so shiny and shimmery, they could be mistaken for another piece of jewellery.

Check out the best metallic nail polishes, ahead.
