The singer&#8217;s nails were filed into a short, square shape, complete with baby French tips and a shimmery sheen that caught the light.<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_19-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-embed mntl-sc-block-embed\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_21-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Really though, the idea is nothing new.

Almost every big nail artist has shown us their own version, and they&#8217;ve even popped up in fun colors like butter yellow and baby blue.\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-spotlight--mid-circ mntl-sc-block-spotlight--mid-circ mntl-block \">\n<h2 id=\"midcirc__heading_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc__heading mntl-text-block\">Related Stories<\/h2>\n<div id=\"midcirc__card-list_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc__card-list mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__title_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__title mntl-text-block\">&#8220;Pink Sugar&#8221; Nails Are Here to Sweeten Your Winter Mani Rotation<\/div>\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__image-wrapper_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__image-wrapper mntl-block\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Hailey Bieber taking a mirror selfie with pink chrome nails\" class=\"lazyload midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/zT82XMQapLLhL8eOGtIfI52RdWs=\/400x300\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/pinksugarnails-b54b1e12172d4f63a9c823aeed98ae8d.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/zT82XMQapLLhL8eOGtIfI52RdWs=\/400x300\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/pinksugarnails-b54b1e12172d4f63a9c823aeed98ae8d.png\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"img--noscript midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Hailey Bieber taking a mirror selfie with pink chrome nails\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__title_2-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__title mntl-text-block\">It&#8217;s So Easy to Fall In Love With February&#8217;s Best Beauty and Style Launches<\/div>\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__image-wrapper_2-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__image-wrapper mntl-block\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Julia Mervis poses for her Campbell and Kramer capsule.\" class=\"lazyload midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/F7AqBOt0mlqxgsNPgN_RkL1xUsM=\/400x300\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/julialede-fc59b07e80014397af0f7df53cc9c7f4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/F7AqBOt0mlqxgsNPgN_RkL1xUsM=\/400x300\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/julialede-fc59b07e80014397af0f7df53cc9c7f4.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"img--noscript midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Julia Mervis poses for her Campbell and Kramer capsule.\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> How to Get the Look <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_26-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> While Truong shared that she used Mia Secret&#8217;s Gelux Gel Nail Polishes in Naked and White topped with the brand&#8217;s mirror chrome powder in CM104 to get Mai&#8217;s look, there are so many ways you can go about it. I&#8217;m sure your salon will know just the thing to do if you request a chrome French.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Or, if you already have a favorite French manicure nail combo, go with that and request a light layer of chrome powder on top.\n<\/p>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_30-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-portrait figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"964\" height=\"1349\" alt='A \"frosted\" French manicure by Iram Shelton.' class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_4-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/ZJS7P_pizy9jBONQADSXgwOeJys=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/iram-b878e9ea268e401ab163ad8298d6d4c7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/ZJS7P_pizy9jBONQADSXgwOeJys=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/iram-b878e9ea268e401ab163ad8298d6d4c7.jpg\" width=\"964\" height=\"1349\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt='A \"frosted\" French manicure by Iram Shelton.'><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>@iramshelton\/instagram<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_31-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> You could also grab a set of press ons for easy application.
