Frequently Asked Questions

Hover your magnetic wand closely over the uncured gel for several seconds to push the metallic particles into a concentrated stripe or starburst effect before curing immediately under a UV/LED lamp.
This usually happens if the no-wipe top coat is over-cured or under-cured. Cure your top coat for the exact manufacturer-recommended time so it remains slightly tacky for powder adhesion or completely smooth depending on the specific chrome technique used.
Use sturdy sticky nail putty or dedicated display stands with secure holders to keep each coffin-shaped press-on tip firmly in place while you paint detailed lines, apply foil, or use magnetic wands.
