Silver nails usually go one of two ways: full chrome that looks like liquid metal or glitter-heavy designs that belong at a holiday party.
Cute, but not exactly the kind of manicure you’d wear every day. But Gracie Abrams? She just found the sweet spot—brushed silver nails that feel effortless, wearable, and honestly, kind of genius.
She debuted the look at the FireAid Los Angeles Benefit Concert on January 30, performing alongside Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, and Olivia Rodrigo.
Instead of high-shine, high-maintenance chrome, she kept things cool with soft silver nails. The finish? Slightly matte, still metallic, and way easier to pull off than the flashy versions we usually see.
Celebrity manicurist Betina Goldstein, who also created Gracie’s viral 3D bow nails from the Met Gala, worked her magic again. She shaped them short and rounded—no sharp claws, no extra length, just simple, clean metallic nails that go with everything.
A Metallic Mani That Won’t Blind You
Silver nails have a reputation. They’re either so glossy they reflect light like a mirror (looking at you, Kylie Jenner) or packed with glitter to the point of no return. Nothing wrong with that, but let’s be real—it’s not exactly an everyday vibe.
Gracie’s take is different. The brushed effect tones down the shine just enough to make silver nails feel casual but still put-together.
It’s metallic without looking futuristic, stylish without trying too hard. If silver usually feels too bold, this version makes it way more approachable.
Wear It With Anything
The best thing about this manicure? It goes with everything. You don’t have to plan your outfits around your nails because these work no matter what.
Jeans and a hoodie? Still looks chic. A dress? Even better. A full glam look? It fits right in.
Metallics tend to feel high-maintenance, but this brushed silver proves otherwise. It’s cool, it’s simple, and it doesn’t demand attention—but it definitely gets it.
Gracie Abrams just made silver nails the easiest trend to wear, and honestly? We’re all about it.
