Lecente chromes

[hollym211]

Hey
So been playing with new chromes seems I can perfect the rainbow chrome lovely, but attempting the chrome powder over cityscape seemed great, but over rosebud it seemed not so great, not like done ive seen.... Bit scratchy???? With pink Almost too visible?? What do you guys use to apply??? I bought the lecenté applicators but thinking I don't like, anyone tried make up sponge?
Was disheartened [emoji22]!

I found the Lecente applicators too scratchy too.
I've swapped to foam eyeshadow applicators and it's easy now, much better coverage.

Hey Guys & Girls,

I have been playing with them since Tuesday and here are a few helpful tips.

Make sure you drain the lecente layer it brush almost completely clean of product and apply it very thinly , if it's too thick the chrome will look extra grainy. However... Look at the nail before you put it in the lamp , let it settle for a few seconds as it has texture when applied thinly , if it doesn't self level into a smooth surface it's too thin and you need a tiny bit more

I like an eyeshadow applicator the best for applying too! I dip one side in and buff it into the nail , then flip it over and with the clean side buff some more , this really helps give a chrome effect

Also found a the best way to get a true gold chrome , apply 2 layers of asphalt curing as normal in between layers, thin layer of layer it as above, rub silver chrome powder into the nail , then without anything else just rub gold chrome into the nail , gives a beautiful pale gold chrome , my clients love it !

I also ordered these but they never turned up! They did issue a refund though. I'd order a couple of packs at that price and hope one turns up

No worries lovely[emoji8], such a good price! X

I thought I'd done well with a pack of these from Poundland, but yours was definitely the better bargain!

Has anyone found a slimmer brush that fits the Layer It bottle?
I'm struggling with the fatness of the brush provided on small nails - too much product on the brush and takes loads of wiping down to get the fine amount needed.
Should I just get some disposable brushes?
How are other people managing?

 

[hollym211]

I don't mind the large brush to be fair and literally wipe it dry!!! Barely use any product so can keep it neat as not overloading the brush means no around the skin!!! Keep at it, will get used to it [emoji3]
