Frequently Asked Questions
How is the 'glazed' effect achieved with blue polish?
The blue glazed effect is created by applying a very fine, iridescent chrome powder over a partially cured no-wipe gel top coat, which sits on top of a vibrant blue gel polish base. The powder creates a pearly, light-reflecting shimmer.
Can I get this blue glazed look with regular nail polish?
Achieving the true 'glazed donut' effect with regular polish is challenging. The specific tackiness of gel polish and the fineness of chrome powder are essential for that seamless, iridescent shimmer. While you can use a pearly top coat, it won't replicate the depth of chrome.
What shade of blue works best for this design?
Mid-tone to lighter shades like sky blue, periwinkle, or ocean blue work beautifully as they allow the iridescent shimmer of the chrome powder to truly pop. However, darker blues can also offer a sophisticated, moody glazed look.
How long do blue glazed donut nails typically last?
With proper application and aftercare, your blue glazed donut gel manicure can last 2-3 weeks without chipping or losing its signature gloss and shimmer, just like a standard gel manicure.
Is the chrome powder safe for nails?
Yes, cosmetic-grade chrome powders are formulated to be safe for nail application. They are non-toxic and designed to be encapsulated within gel or top coat layers, posing no harm to your natural nails.
Will the blue color fade over time?
The blue gel polish base is sealed beneath layers of top coat and chrome, making it highly resistant to fading. The vibrant blue will retain its intensity throughout the life of your manicure.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Moisturize hands and cuticles regularly to keep the skin healthy.
- ✓Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water exposure immediately after your appointment.
- ✓Do not pick or peel your gel polish, as this can damage your natural nails.
- ✓Always return for professional removal to protect your nail health.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top coat and chrome layer to break the seal.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone for 10-15 minutes, allowing the gel to lift.
- 3.Carefully push off softened gel with a cuticle pusher, avoiding scraping your natural nail plate.
