With party season just around the corner, we’ve found ourselves reaching more and more for glitter and festive nail designs like silver, gold, and chrome.

Vanessa Hudgens is definitely on the same wave length. As for how we know that? The actor’s very own nail artist, Zola Ganzorigtis, who’sknown for creating glossy looks like glazed donut nails, shared this latest manicure on her Instagram. And now that we’ve seen it, we’ve been nail-influenced.

Instead of opting for a silver or gold chrome, Hudgens showed off a set of delicious copper chrome nails. A fall- and winter-friendly take on the chrome and mirror nail trends, they also serve as an especially easy way to elevate any wintertime look and are therefore perfect for the holiday season.

How to recreate copper nails

Ganzorigt covered Vanessa Hudgens’s extra-long, pointed nails with chrome-plated copper, an effect best achieved with a chrome powder that is sealed with a top coat.

But that’s not to say copper-colored nails have to be high-gloss to be on trend. It’s much more about the shade than the finish. Regular nail polish in this shade can also make for a simple, on-trend mani, and it’s just as seasonally chic.

The best thing about metallic polishes is that they last longer than others. That’s because of the glitter particles in the formula, which means your manicure will be looking fresh for up to a week. Win-win, right?

Copper nail inspiration

Feeling inspired? Request chrome finish atop your go-to latte nails, or you can easily DIY the look with press-ons or regular chrome polish. You can also paint your own nails the professional way, assuming you’re fairly experienced in working with gel.

Ready to try the trend for yourself? Here’s some inspiration for your next copper nail manicure, inspired by Vanessa Hudgens.
