    Omg my whole life is a lie. I don’t know where I got the idea, but I always thought chrome powder had to go on top of something with a sticky layer. I just finished swatching all of my powders (I got a variety set as a Christmas present and have been procrastinating all year lol) and now I feel like I have to do it again to see if they will look better with your technique!

    So weird i have been googling for hours today how i get it to stick on some things and not others? I mean to get the embossed look? What does chrome not stick to?! Then you posted this? Just I've seen videos where they use a liner brush to put on lines of what looks like normal gel polish then they put chrome onto the lines only??

    Not sure if this is helpful as I just got my chrome powders but the manufacturer's direction said to only cure the topcoat layer that you use before applying the powder for 10- 20 seconds ( depending on the power of the lamp) because if cured too long it would be hard to apply the powders and too short I wouldn't get the mirror effect.

    I know this video is a few months old but I actually want to add that just using matte top coat does not work at all for me and a lot of over techs. The only think that has worked for me is doing a layer of matte top coat and then buffing it before doing the chrome design. If not, the chrome still sticks everywhere. Maybe it depends on the brand. Buffing the layer will help a lot tho!

    What do you mean by "no wipe" polish?

    fantastic tutorial - so straight and to the point, without a 10 minute pre-amble of all the thoughts in your head and what you did that day, before the instructions begin like SO many other videos. You covered so many key points, it was so HELPFUL!!

    I've noticed that using a top coat underneath doesn't last long for me or other techs I've worked with at salons when doin a full-coverage chrome nail. It starts chipping the next day so I started using a base instead to apply the chrome powder on top and then seal it with top coat. For me, it stays on with no chipping on the edges.

    Okay so, my pigment still sticks to my matte top coat 😩 any troubleshooting ideas please? I’m slowly losing my mind with it! 😂🙈 xx

    I watched another video on using powders a few days ago and the person was doing gold over a yellowish base color. It did make the gold look a little brighter than gold over black. Makes me wonder if silver would be brighter over gray. Definitely going to try some of your designs. They're simple and elegant!
