To do nail chrome, start by applying a base coat and let it dry. Follow with a gel polish in a color that complements your chrome powder. Cure under a UV/LED light. Then, apply a no-wipe gel top coat and cure it. Gently rub the chrome powder onto the nail surface using an eyeshadow applicator or silicone tool for a smooth finish. Finally, apply another layer of the gel top coat and cure it to seal in the chrome effect. The result? Gorgeous, mirror-like nails!
