New York Fashion Week's Fall/Winter 2025 shows are underway, and the nail trends from the runway have been a great source of inspiration. So far, this season's stages have proved that one of our favorite trends, gold chrome, is here to stay. While backstage at The Blonds and Alice and Olivia, stiletto-shaped tips made their rounds, decked out in 3D designs and foil accents that are super bold.
Ahead, we're rounding up the very best nail inspo from New York Fashion Week to screenshot ahead of your next nail appointment.
1. Short and square chrome

This short square set seen backstage at the Stylist's Choice runway show was the perfect reminder of why we love chrome nails: they're simple yet add some spark to your tips. This copper chrome finish pops on a dark base, but the possibilities are endless with chrome nails, and you can try it with any color you want.
2. Gilded gold chrome tips

Also spotted at the Stylist's Choice runway show were these almond-shaped gold chrome tips that pair the popular metallic color with 3D details to add texture.
3. Hole-punched stiletto tips

Model's at Kim Shui's FW2025 presentation rocked pointed stiletto tips with metal hole-punched accents.
4. 3D Emerald

The Blonds is known to have show-stopping beauty looks for its runway shows, and the brand never lacks in the nail department. This season, these bejeweled emerald nails (which look totally inspired by Wicked) caught our eye.
5. Gold foil accents

We love a foil accent manicure like this one spotted at Alice and Olivia, with gold flecks on a jet-black base. Of course, you can copy a similar look with any foil and nail polish variation.
6. Perfect pearls

Models at Alice and Olivia also rocked this intricate almond-shaped set topped with pearls to match their accessories.
7. Iridescent neutral

While we love bold nail art, a solid, shiny coat of neutral polish has never done us wrong. Take the nails at LaPointe, for example, which were topped with a coat of iridescent nail polish that added just enough glimmer as models walked down the runway.
