Frequently Asked Questions

Apply a non-wipe top coat exclusively over your French tip guides and cure it completely before buffing the chrome powder on. Any residual inhibition layer on the nude base will cause the chrome to stick where you do not want it.
Place a small bead of thick builder gel or specialized charm gel on the nail surface, press the charm firmly into it, and flash-cure. Then, seal around the base of the charm with a fine liner brush dipped in top coat, making sure not to cover the face of the metallic charm.
Mirror and metallic chrome powders require a UV or LED gel system because they need a cured non-wipe gel top coat to bond properly and create that high-shine reflective finish.
