Nail trends come and go, but there's one look that seems to have
lasting power: chrome. While we love a traditional silver chrome
(and that's not going anywhere), clients are also requesting chrome
nails that feature new color trends and designs that leave a lasting
impression. We scoured social media for the most popular colors
and asked your nail pro peers for their technique advice so you can
make your next chrome appointment truly shine.

Colorful, dazzling chrome nails are here to stay
"I personally recommend
using a rubber base coat
because it is thicker and
will make the nails both
smoother and stronger!"
—Paula Rumjanceva
"If you cured the top
coat too long and the
chrome powder isn't
sticking to the nail,
wipe the nail with a
wipe soaked in acetone.
e chrome powder
should stick perfectly!"
—Rumjanceva
"I like to use Elegance
Nail Supply Gel Polish—
you don't need a special
chrome top coat to apply
the chrome since there is
no inhibition layer after
the gel is cured."

"For chrome designs,
I buff the nails after
applying the base until
they're completely
matte, cleanse them
with alcohol, and
begin the design."
