For a smoother 'glazed' effect, use a very fine chrome powder and buff it gently into the nail. Seal thoroughly with the top coat to prevent chipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I achieve this look with regular nail polish?

Yes, but gel polish will provide a longer-lasting and glossier finish. Regular polish may chip more easily.

What if I don't have chrome powder?

You can use a shimmering top coat for a similar, though less intense, glazed effect.

How long will this manicure last?

With proper care, a gel manicure can last up to two weeks.

Is chrome powder safe to use?

Yes, when used properly. Ensure you are using cosmetic-grade chrome powder.

Can I use any color of blue?

While a pastel blue is ideal, feel free to experiment with other shades of blue, keeping in mind the desired soft and airy look.

What nail shape works best for this design?

This design looks great on any nail shape. However, almond and oval shapes tend to enhance the elegance of the glazed effect.
