Mirror powder is such a new technology that a lot of the results are inconsistent. I'm going to try achieving the look with foils because they don't dull under a top coat.
I usually find products from the colour shack to be excellent. I just think that the mirror powder itself is a bit hit and miss.

It needs to be used over the non-wipe top coat, it wont work over the colour coats.
If you don't have non-wipe top coat some people have been using a completely dry lint free pad but I haven't tried this.
You need to use an eye shadow applicator to really scrub the pigment into the nail as well, then you can gently brush over to remove any excess.
This is some of my chrome swatches...

Can you go through your method step by step and I'll see if anything you're doing could be effecting them X

Someone on here suggested floating the topcoat on rather than allowing the brush to actually touch the nail if you know what I mean? Never tried it myself but worth a try.

Hi, these are great! Could you tell me where you are getting your powder from and what make they are please. I've been looking but there seem to be so many on the market! TIAIt needs to be used over the non-wipe top coat, it wont work over the colour coats.

Omg I bought all different types of mirror powder, some from eBay and one from America cost me $38!
It looks great until I add the top coat. Is it impossible to use with shellac?? Do I need to buy new gel polishes? I'm so unfamiliar with other gels. The instructions said shellac is too sticky and to wipe off the excess, well that didn't work. It's ok but could be so much better. Has anyone had success with shellac? Love the video btw.
