Simone Biles has proven herself to be the ultimate nail lover [2], and you're going to want to see her latest set [3]. On Aug. 3, the Olympic gymnast posted a mirror selfie wearing a Gucci sweater and straight hair. Also on full display were her chrome nails [4], which were nothing short of a masterpiece.

Biles's nails were filed into a short, round shape [5] and painted a shiny metallic-silver color. A top coat added some extra sheen, making the manicure look like its namesake metal. Biles opted out of any nail art, as the bold color is a statement all on its own.

Chrome nails have been trending since early 2022, after being spotted on celebrities like Zendaya [6] and Dua Lipa [7] during award season. Since then, metallic polish has been incorporated into looks like the french manicure [8]. They're also great for amplifying nail-art trends like textured finishes [9] and waterdrop designs [10].

With summer winding down and fall Fashion Week around the corner, prepare to see an influx of chrome-inspired looks making the rounds on your social feeds once more. In the meantime, if you want to start perfecting your own version, take a page from Biles's book and take a closer look at her nails below.
