  Frequently Asked Questions

  What is the best base colour for chrome nails?

  The best base colour depends on the effect you want. Black enhances the chrome’s reflectiveness, but white or coloured bases can create different tones.

  Should I cure the gel polish fully before applying chrome powder?

  Yes, gel polish should be fully cured. Chrome is applied over a no-wipe top coat, not directly onto gel polish.

  What is the best way to apply chrome powder for a smooth finish?

  Use a sponge applicator, silicone tool, or gloved finger to gently rub the chrome into the tack-free top coat in circular motions until smooth and reflective.

  Is there a reason my chrome powder is not sticking properly?

  Yes, common reasons include:

  • The top coat was under-cured or over-cured.
  • The surface wasn’t smooth enough.
  • Too much or too little pressure was applied during application.
  • A top coat with too many slip agents was used.

  Do I need a special top coat for chrome nails?

  Yes, a no-wipe top coat is required.

  How can I prevent the chrome from chipping or peeling?

  Apply the chrome powder, then lightly file the free edge. After filing, apply a thin layer of base coat, followed by the top coat. This helps seal the chrome and prevent chipping.

  How can I make chrome nails last longer?

  Apply the chrome powder, then lightly file the free edge. After filing, apply a thin layer of base coat, followed by the top coat for extra durability. Also, advise clients to avoid harsh chemicals and excessive water exposure.

  Can I use chrome powder over builder gel or acrylic?

  Yes, but a no-wipe top coat must be applied first before rubbing in the chrome.
