There's something about a silver manicure that, for me, has always screamed party season. But thanks to a recent viral 10-minute TikTok video by creator Amanda Sujin, in which she swatches all of her favourite silver nail polishes, I've become certifiably obsessed with silver nails for the summer. 'It's neutral and so cool,' insists Amanda, and, honestly, I couldn't agree more. You see, silver nails are surprisingly versatile. Want to make a statement? Opt for a metallic chrome effect with a glass-like shine. Into more of a minimalist vibe? A pearlescent silver with a touch of shimmer adds a subtle glow to nails. Even better, silver nails play well with everything: from a breezy linen shirt and jeans to a wedding guest dress — a silver manicure is pleasingly neutral.
