The classic French shape in the warmest metal there is. Rose-gold chrome on the tips of a short almond catches light at the end of every gesture while the milky base stays completely calm, which is the balance that makes a metallic wearable in daylight. It is warmer than gold and softer than copper, and it suits warm and olive undertones better than any silver-family finish — it photographs beautifully, too, which is not nothing.

How this look is done

  1. 01Base coat and two thin coats of a sheer milky base across the whole nail.
  2. 02Apply and cure a no-wipe top coat so the chrome powder has something to bond to.
  3. 03Rub rose-gold powder onto the tip only, fading it down slightly so the edge is soft rather than a hard line.
  4. 04Dust off the excess, seal with top coat, and cap the free edge properly.

Who it suits

Warm and olive undertones above all, where rose gold echoes the skin's own warmth. It pairs naturally with rose-gold or yellow-gold jewellery, and the short almond keeps the metal in proportion.

How it wears

Chrome on a tip is the highest-wear spot on any manicure — re-cap the edge every few days. The sheer base means growth stays invisible for the full run.

Softer or bolder

Gold chrome is brighter and more festive; pearl is the softest of the three. Fading the rose gold further down turns the French into a gradient.
