Pro Chrome Tips for Spring Nail Art
In this article, we’ve mentioned two types of special gel polish that ensure a flawless canvas for chrome nail art. However, you can also apply chrome powder on top of a cured top coat. For best results, use a no-wipe top gel. Then with a silicone applicator or sponge, buff the chrome powder into place. Start small and add more as needed, then wipe off the excess before applying a second layer of top coat and curing.
If you’ve had bad luck with chrome designs chipping, try not capping the free edge until the end. Also, consider using a rubber base gel for extra resistance to damage. A high-quality top coat will also protect your masterpiece.
