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 three different metallic silver nail polishes.

Julep Jahnavi swatch, a brushed warm silver nail polish

Julep Jahnavi

Jahnavi 5012 is from the March 2015 Maven Julep subscription box called “Classic with a Twist.” 

It is a warmer toned metallic pearl silver nail polish. It has a “brushed metal” look and it does show polish lines, which could be related to it being seven years old now. Though, it is striking.

L.A. Colors Live

Live CNP409 is a silver metallic glitter nail polish that’s opaque in two coats. 

This silver metallic glitter in this polish really sparkles and though it is still quite smooth, it has the most visible pigment particles of the three. This one looks like a paint you might find in some automotive finishes.

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.
