Use a very thin layer of no-wipe top coat before applying chrome powder for a smoother, more reflective finish. Less is more when applying the chrome powder.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best base color for chrome nails?
Black gel polish is generally recommended for the most intense chrome effect, but other dark colors can also work.
Can I use regular nail polish with chrome powder?
It's best to use gel polish with chrome powder for optimal adhesion and longevity.
How long will chrome nails last?
With proper application and care, chrome nails can last up to two weeks.
What is no wipe top coat?
No wipe top coat doesn't leave sticky residue after curing so chrome powder can be applied directly to it.
Where do I buy high-quality chrome powder?
Reliable beauty supply stores or online retailers specializing in nail products usually offer good quality chrome powder.
Can I apply multiple layers of chrome powder?
Usually one layer is sufficient. Applying too much might ruin the mirror effect.
