Chrome nails

[Louisepalmer]

Hey lovelies!

So I'm still trying to perfect the chrome nail!
Has anyone got a good recommendation on which is the best non wipe top coat brand?
I brought blue sky but my chrome is still wearing at the edges, so I wondered if it's to do with that?

Do you double top coat after? I always do 2 after & make sure to cap the free edge with both.

Basecoat after chrome and then topcoat, gives the topcoat something to stick to x

I'm going to try applying the base coat over the chrome before the top coats this evening. I will keep you posted on whether it works.

What non wipe top coat brands are you all using?
As if all else fails I will try another brand xx

I tried base coat then top coat - definitely last longer and not chipping as easily as it was but sides seem to be wearing away still. Only tried my thumb so far so need to do another test still.

I don't use one now, just my usual wipe off one. I was using IBD Intense Seal but found it's too rigid for natural nails.

For chameleon chrome or a good holo pigment a normal wipe off top coat works great, just silver chrome that is super fussy!

I have tried 2 things that work well for my chrome nails. You can either use you normal top coat, wipe the tacky layer and rub your chrome powder in quickly while it is still wet and then top coat it again. Or I recently bought the sinful no cleanse top coat which so far has worked well for me
