Chrome nails experienced a surge in popularity primarily in 2017 and 2018.
According to nail artist Kate Proulx from Sick Nails in New Haven, Connecticut, chrome nails had a "major moment" during this period. As shared in a Glamour article published on March 30, 2023, she notes that nail technicians are now revisiting chrome powders after their previous peak in popularity. This indicates a resurgence in interest for chrome manicures, but their initial widespread popularity occurred earlier.
