Chrome nails are taking over right now, stealing the spotlight with their high-shine, mesmerising finishes. It's no wonder this manicure trend has captured everyone's hearts - the ultra-glossy, cool-girl aesthetic is impossible to resist.
Effortlessly easy to apply, Chrome Powders best give off their mirror-like-shine when applied over a base shade of Gel Nail Polish, then a Top Coat. While classic choices like Black Out, Just White, or a subtle Base Coat work wonders, you’re free to customise your set with any Colour Coat that suits your style.
After applying Gelous Base Coat, and if desired, a Colour Coat, apply a thin coat of Gelous Top Coat, curing after each coat. Wipe the nail with a Lint Free Wipe moistened with Nail Polish Remover, then rub Chrome Powder in circular motions over your nail using the Chrome Powder Application Sponge. Dust off excess using the Gelous Dust Brush, seal the magic with a Top Coat, and you're ready to shine.

Creating The Hailey Bieber 'Glazed Donut' Nail Finish
If you’re crushing on the viral Hailey Bieber style ‘Glazed Donut’ nail, then Ice Age is the perfect Chrome Powder for you. With its pearly-white finish, this mesmerising lustre beautifully recreates the delectable effect. For this particular look, we recommend using one coat of milky-white Swan Lake Gel Nail Polish over a clear base, before applying Top Coat and curing. Give this a wipe with a Lint Free Wipe soaked in Nail Polish Remover, and smoothly rub on a layer of Ice Age Aurora Chrome Powder. Next, apply Gel Nail Polish Remover to a Lint Free Wipe and gently remove some of the Chrome Powder from your nails until you've reached the desired intensity. Finishing with a further layer of Top Coat, these alternative steps produce a more glossy, pearly result to best capture the desired sugary-sweet ‘glazed’ finish. Hello chic nails, glazed to perfection.
