Frequently Asked Questions

Make sure your gel top coat is cured for the exact recommended time so it is smooth and tack-free. Use a soft eyeshadow sponge applicator or clean fingertip to gently buff the chrome powder across the surface, brushing away any excess dust before sealing.
Apply a small bead of solid nail glue or thick builder gel where the pearls will sit near the cuticle. Press the pearls firmly into the gel, flash cure them temporarily, and then use a fine liner brush to seal around the base of the pearls with top coat without covering their pearlescent shine.
