I love this. So I ordered the chrome with your link on Amazon. I wanted to sample the different colors so I used the plastic swatch thingys. First I used my efile to remove the shine then I cleaned them with swipes
This mani has my whole heart!! Totally obsessed!! Thanks for sharing as always!! Super excited to be back on the saddle and giving myself the self care we all deserve! Love you!❤
So I love this. Tried it yesterday and my nails came out amazing. And then today the chrome/gel peeled right off! I’m using a tiny little lamp so I wonder if the gel didn’t cure enough. I’ve been doing dip for 6 months but this was my first foray into gel.
Love these. I have some cheomes, but I haven't tried my hand at chrome nails... yet! I did miss the musical interludes in this video. But this set is gorgeous! Thanks for the inspiration, Marla!
ong I am so glad you spoke to peel off base - I tried using it thinking it would give me a week, gave me less than 24hours because I am a mumma, I am constantly with my hands in water lol
Love this mani!! You are my favorite nail content creator by far!! Just so talented!! I do have some chromes but have never used them yet but you have definitely got me wanting to drag them out!❤
First!…..OMG, “slappin the bass”!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂 And YESSSSSSS TO chrome!!!!! I’ve been on the kick lately too! Although I got a super late start to it, I’m totally here for it now 😍🔥😘 great video as always Marla 😘
Oops sorry, here’s the rest of my comment. After cleaning with swipe I used a bonder then rubber basecoat then another layer of tinted rubber base coat then I cleaned the tacky layer and applied the chrome shade. Well 3 of the 6 came out perfect but the other 3 were streaky. The pearly white, rose gold and pink were good. The gold, navy and put are streaky. Any ideas why? Thanks love your videos.
LOVE! I've not been on in a while. I am my mom's main caregiver now. She has dementia. Sorry for rambling . I have a question about the base coat you put on did you cure at all before you put the top coat on? Thank you Much 💜
I think I’ve seen you can do chrome with dip liquids….would you mind doing a video with that method or just chroming without gel. I’m allergic but I’m so in love with this manicure! 😂
I love your careful application. Your nails look very natural. So many are just way too thick and just very oddly shaped. The goal should always be your nails but better. I'm glad to hear you like Modelones products. I started using their gel polish and am very happy with their products. I've ordered from them directly and they have some nice discounts but shipping takes forever. Can I ask why one might prefer dip powder over gel?
Hey love! Thank you so much for your kind words! Some prefer dip for the extra strength, some are allergic to gel products. Totally personal preference otherwise!
Really like this! Have you ever layered translucent colors to create another color in a venn diagram kind of way? I have an idea in my head for an abstract design of an asymmetrical translucent bright blue blob overlapping an asymmetrical translucent bright pink blob to create an intersection of a purple blob. Not blurred edges like watercolor, nice crisp lines. I'd need to buy bottles for it and don't even know what brand to look at, don't usually do jelly type finishes. I'd love recommendations or to see a vid!
I totally see your vision! I’d definitely suggest jelly colors. Not opaque. So you get that nice mix in between the primary colors. I’ll plan something for after valentines for you!
Marla, this is just beautiful ❣️ To make sure I got this, drip as usual, then you used gel base, cured, gel top coat & cured completely. Wiped with alcohol and then chromed? Then top coated again. I feel like I’m missing something?!? Thanks in advance ❤
So close! Here are the steps: - dip - activate - file/buff - cleanse well with alcohol - gel base and cure 30 - gel top and cure 30 - chrome and cure another 30 - gel base again cure 30 - gel top cure 60
I'm new to this chrome nails, can you tell me about how long should it take to do this application on nail like yours? And what do you charge the clients? I do seniors & I have a few that are into this. 😎😊
Hey love! I’m afraid I won’t be much help - I’m not a nail tech so I don’t take clients. As far as time, that totally depends on you but it generally takes me about 45-60 min for a full set like this
Hey love! I don’t find I need clear under the color at all UNLESS I’m planning to remove the dip by filing off the color. Then I’ll put clear down to protect my natural nails. If you’re doing acetone removal, it’s not necessary 🫶🏻
Not me forgetting to add a soundtrack 🤦🏻♀️ just hum to yourself during the dead air 😂
Love you byeeeee! 🫶🏻🖤
Girl, we’re here for the technique! Great videos! Thanks so much for your videos!!!😊
Love the videos and even more so without the background music!!!
Absolutely fabulous
Holy sheet, this is fooking stunning!!! I am a total newb to dip powder, but I am going to keep this in my "to-do" list.
I love this. So I ordered the chrome with your link on Amazon. I wanted to sample the different colors so I used the plastic swatch thingys. First I used my efile to remove the shine then I cleaned them with swipes
Awesome
That looks awesome.
I like the music you used.
Sassy Mouth gel liquids are AMAZING!! Best liquids I’ve ever used with dip powder!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

LOVE IT! Perfect for here, now. Thank you for the inspo🥰😍😘💖
Beautiful! I’m going to try this. Thanks
Marla, you are a bloody marvel you have taught me so much over the lat 4 years. I love you my weirdo xxx Anne Burley ( Australia)
Ahhhh I just noticed your ; tattoo. I have the same one, also on the same location, just on my right thumb instead! Great tattoo and meaning 😍💓
I'm a senior, can you tell me WHAT is the meaning of her tattoo on her tumb? It's Cute!
They are super Gorgeous. 🖤
Thank you, lovebug!!! 🖤
Just discovered your channel. I love it. Your “I Love You Man” snippet was fantastic 😂. The chrome is beautiful. So cool.
I’m speechless. Absolutely drop dead gorgeous. But I expect nothing less from you. 💕
Omgoodness 🥹 THANK YOU!! 🫶🏻🖤

Love it! I'm going through a chome phase, too! I just bought a pack of 36 colors from Amazon that I'm going to try out this weekend.
Heck yeah!! You so got this! 🖤
Stunning. Can’t wait to do this over SCG strips. Beautiful as always.
Love it! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I've never tried chrome but I'm excited to give it a shot! I just got my first gel products for Christmas. The perks of buying your own presents. 😊
2024 is the year of trying new things! 🖤
So I love this. Tried it yesterday and my nails came out amazing. And then today the chrome/gel peeled right off! I’m using a tiny little lamp so I wonder if the gel didn’t cure enough. I’ve been doing dip for 6 months but this was my first foray into gel.
It definitely could be the lamp. You want at least 48 watts to cure completely.
Love these. I have some cheomes, but I haven't tried my hand at chrome nails... yet! I did miss the musical interludes in this video. But this set is gorgeous! Thanks for the inspiration, Marla!
Absolultly love it I've been wanting to get some chrome just starting out on my nail jeouney.

You make my whole heart smile. Thank you for being such an amazing and joyful presence here every week! It means the world to me 🫶🏻🖤
That is one gorgeous chrome. I'm almost tempted to buy it alone because I don't have room for the others. Bummer.
Absolutely loooove this!!!
Love them!! Happy Thursday ❤

I'm not sure if you like Red or not but I was wondering if you could do a Valentine's day set? It could be fun ❤
I can definitely do that!!! ♥️ I have a vday set coming up on Monday, but it’s pink 🫶🏻
Nice! My favorite color is pink! I can't wait!
Newbie to dips and just learning. Great video. Do I need to use clear dip as a base under color dip for do straight color dip?
Hey love! I don’t find I need clear under the color at all UNLESS I’m planning to remove the dip by filing off the color. Then I’ll put clear down to protect my natural nails. If you’re doing acetone removal, it’s not necessary 🫶🏻
Great tip. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply 😃
Are you using gel when you apply dip powder in this, or is it regular dip method?
Just regular dip liquids!
Is this a no wipe top coat?
Do I have to use a clear powder after the color powder?
It’s an optional step BUT it adds strength and protects the color when you’re filing/buffing ❤️
@@MarlaKris thank youuuuuuu💙
Beautiful! Where did you I get the thin file you use around your cuticle?
Amazon! Here’s the link amzn.to/3u8KMkB
Thank you! I ordered them.
It is beautiful but that takes way too much time for me!
I don’t have a career in swimming, but I do a lot of underwater basket weaving, so peel base doesn’t work for me.
🤣😂🤣😂 underwater basket weaving ☠️
