To achieve chrome gel nails, follow these steps:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Apply Top Coat: Apply a gel top coat and cure it fully under the lamp.
- 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.
- Final Top Coat (Optional): For added protection and shine, you can apply another layer of gel top coat and cure.
