Silver metallic nails are beautiful, aren’t they?
Silver metallic nails are different from silver glitter nails in that, with metallic finishes, the pigment particles tend to be smaller.
The paint itself looks a little bit more like the type of paint you might find on automobile hardware, building hardware or in model airplane kits.
Metallic nail polishes can have a chrome or mirror effect, brushed effect or even a light glitter effect.
To give an idea of what’s out there, below you will find swatches of 4 different metallic silver nail polishes.

Each of these silver metallic nail polishes is very reflective and eye-catching. Which one is best for you is more a matter of what finish you like, than which one is most beautiful, as they’re all pretty for different reasons.
