- UV/LED Gel Base Coat

- Perform full nail prep: file, buff, push back cuticles. Apply a thin layer of gel base coat and cure.
- Using pastel gel polishes and a blending sponge, create a seamless ombre gradient across each nail, curing after each thin layer until desired opacity is achieved.
- Apply a no-wipe gel top coat (crucial for chrome adherence) and cure just enough so it's tack-free but not over-cured.
- Using a silicone applicator, firmly rub the Unicorn chrome powder onto the nail surface until a smooth, iridescent sheen appears. Brush off excess powder.
- Seal the entire design with a final layer of no-wipe gel top coat, ensuring to cap the free edge for durability, and cure fully.
Expert Tip
The secret to the 'photo-real' effect lies in a perfectly smooth gradient base and the precise application of the chrome powder over a perfectly cured, tack-free gel layer. Practice your blending and don't rush the chrome application for that flawless, liquid-like shimmer.

Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water or steam for the first 24 hours post-application.
