A nail file and a cuticle brush Chroming nails, also known as mirror or chrome nails, is a popular nail trend that gives a reflective, metallic finish. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this look at home:

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Prepare Your Nails:

• Clean and Shape: Remove any old nail polish, trim and file your nails to the desired shape, and push back your cuticles.
• Buff: Lightly buff the surface of your nails to ensure they are smooth.

2. Apply Base Coat:

• Base Coat: Apply a thin layer of base coat to each nail. This helps protect your natural nails and ensures better adhesion of the polish.
• Cure: If using gel polish, cure the base coat under a UV/LED lamp according to the product instructions.
  
  
  

3. Apply Color Polish:

• Black or Dark Polish: Apply two thin layers of black or a dark-colored polish. This helps the chrome powder to stand out more vividly.
• Cure: Cure each layer under the UV/LED lamp if using gel polish. If using regular polish, allow it to dry completely.

4. Apply Chrome Powder:

• Rub in Powder: Once the color polish is cured or completely dry, use the applicator to rub the chrome powder onto the nail. Use a small amount of powder and rub it in a circular motion until the nail is fully covered and you achieve a mirror-like finish.
• Brush Off Excess: Use a soft brush to remove any excess powder from the nails and cuticles.

5. Seal with Top Coat:

• Top Coat: Apply a no-wipe gel top coat if you used gel polish or a regular top coat for regular polish. This will seal the chrome powder and provide a glossy finish.
• Cure: Cure the top coat under the UV/LED lamp if using gel polish. For regular polish, allow it to dry thoroughly.

6. Final Touches:

• Clean Up: Use a lint-free wipe soaked in rubbing alcohol or nail cleanser to remove any residue and enhance the shine.
• Moisturize: Finish by moisturizing your cuticles with cuticle oil

Advice:

Getting better: It might take a few tries to properly spread the chrome powder.

Great Products: It can make a big difference in the end result to use good chrome powder and top coats.

Sealing: For longevity and to keep the mirror effect, make sure the top coat is spread evenly and fully cured.

Just follow these steps, and you should be able to get beautiful gold nails at home. Have fun with your beautiful nails!
