What to Expect During Your Chrome Nails
- Base colour application — We begin by applying a gel base colour that serves as the foundation for the chrome effect. The base colour influences the final chrome shade — for example, black base for a deep metallic chrome or white base for pearl chrome.
- Curing — The base colour is cured under an LED/UV lamp to ensure it's fully set and ready for the chrome powder application.
- Chrome powder application — Our technician carefully applies the chrome powder using a specialized sponge or applicator. The powder is gently rubbed into the nail to create a smooth, even, mirror-like finish.
- Finishing — Once the chrome effect is achieved, we apply a clear top coat to seal and protect the finish. This step ensures your chrome nails stay brilliant and shiny for weeks.
- Final curing — The top coat is cured under the LED/UV lamp, setting the chrome finish for long-lasting durability.
