Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1: Prep Your Nails:

Start with clean, trimmed, and shaped nails. Push back your cuticles gently and ensure your nail surface is smooth.

Step 2: Apply Base Coat:

Apply a thin layer of base coat to all your nails and cure it under your UV or LED lamp according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 3: Apply Gel Polish:

Apply your chosen gel polish color and cure it under the lamp. This will serve as the base color for your chrome nails. You can choose a light or dark shade depending on the final look you want to achieve.

Step 4: Apply No-Wipe Gel Top Coat:

Apply a layer of no-wipe gel top coat to one nail and cure it under the lamp. This top coat will serve as the bonding layer for the chrome powder.

Step 5: Applying the Chrome Nail Powder:

Here comes the magical part!

Take a small amount of chrome nail powder on an applicator sponge or silicone brush.
Gently rub the powder onto the nail with a gentle, tapping motion. Make sure to cover the entire nail evenly.
Step 6: Buff and Brush Off Excess Powder:

After applying the chrome nail powder, use a soft brush or an eyeshadow applicator to buff the nail gently. This will help smooth out the powder and create that stunning mirror effect.

Step 7: Seal the Chrome Effect:

Apply another layer of no-wipe gel top coat to seal and protect the chrome effect. Cure it under the lamp.

Step 8: Clean Up Excess Powder:

Using a cotton pad or lint-free wipe, dip it in rubbing alcohol or gel cleanser and gently clean around the edges of your nails to remove any excess powder.

Step 9: Apply Top Coat:

Finish your chrome nails by applying a final layer of top coat to seal the entire design. Cure it under the lamp.

Step 10: Final Touch:

After curing, wipe your nails with rubbing alcohol or gel cleanser to remove any tacky residue and reveal the dazzling chrome effect.
