How do you paint chrome gel nails?

Published in Nail Art Techniques 1 min read

To achieve chrome gel nails, follow these steps:

  1. Prep your nails: Start by washing your hands thoroughly with a mild soap to remove any bacteria and oils. This ensures proper adhesion of the gel polish.
  2. Apply Gel Base Coat: Apply an even layer of gel base coat to your nails and cure under a UV or LED lamp according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Apply Gel Polish: Apply your chosen gel polish color in thin, even coats. Cure each coat under the lamp. Usually, two coats provide optimal coverage.
  4. Apply Top Coat: Apply a gel top coat and cure it fully under the lamp.
  5. Chrome Powder Application:
    • Dip a sponge eyeshadow applicator into the chrome powder.
    • Brush the chrome powder onto your nails, gently rubbing it in to create the chrome effect.
  6. Final Top Coat (Optional): For added protection and shine, you can apply another layer of gel top coat and cure.
