Applying eyeshadow to achieve the chrome nail look, popularized by Hailey Bieber, involves specific steps after applying a base color. The reference video demonstrates the process which assumes you already have a base color applied to your nails.
Here’s a breakdown of how to apply eyeshadow to chrome nails:
- Apply Base Color: Start with a base color. In the video example, two full layers are applied to ensure even coverage. This is especially important if you have longer nails where the free edge might show through.
- The goal of the base color is to provide a smooth, opaque canvas for the chrome effect.
- Having 2 layers helps you from seeing the white shade of the free edge of the nail.
- Apply Chrome Powder/Eyeshadow: Once your base coat is dry and you have applied a top coat and cured it, you can then apply the eyeshadow.
- The eyeshadow (or chrome powder) creates the reflective chrome effect.
By following these steps, you can successfully apply eyeshadow to achieve the chrome nail look.
