Tips And Tricks

Using gels 

Applying chrome powder of your choice on a dried black layer of nail gel will get you the most spectacular mirror effect. Black gel will allow a vivid chrome effect on your nails. However, depending on the color of your first layer of paint, one powder will provide a different shimmering effect. Hence, you can try something fun and creative by switching to various nail gel colors.



Application on the gel brush

Perhaps you prefer gel colors in a brush. Not a problem! Apply a layer of topcoat to the cured gel. After it has hardened, rub it with chrome powder and finish with a double layer of gleaming top coat.

Hybrid nail application

This novelty powder is also suitable for use with gel polish. Just remember to use a top coat without a dispersive layer. It must be applied with care and precision, especially around the cuticle.

Following curing, you can apply chrome powder. If you want a multi-toned look, all you need is a small amount of powder on an applicator.
