    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!

      In addition to a no wipe top coat, only cure for 20-25 seconds ONLY. If you do a full cure of 60 seconds the chrome powder will not stick, I found out the wrong way and was frustrated!! Experiment curing for 15 second cure, the chrome will look a little more gritty but cool effect. If you experiment with top coat cure times up to 30 seconds you may see different chrome effects that you might like and is fun to experiment.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Great tip on the matte! I don't use a no wipe topcoat, I just remove the dispersion layer with alcohol and then buff in my powders. I assumed nail art like that would have to be done by removing the powder where you don't want it with a qtip in alcohol or something obnoxious.

    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.
