Help-Lecente Rainbow Chrome

[Sophief&s]

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie here in need of some advice re the above. I apply the rainbow chrome as per the instructions and it looks beaut, but it is not lasting, I put it over Shellac Wildfire and the edges came off in a few days the same again with Tropix. Anyone had this happen, any tips? Thanks in advance. Sophie.

Hi, yes used layer it, chrome then Shellac original top coat, I wonder if two layers of topcoat may be better?

I'm having the same problems, I've had to withfraw it from my range. I'm using layer it & rubbing in with applicator, sealing my edges & using top coat. I cannot seem to see what I'm doing wrong but I cannot use it as it is, its lasting 1 possibly 2 days. Advise would be greatly appreciated.

With chrome I've found if I do a layer of base over the chrome, cure, then topcoat it lasts till their next appointment.
I just decant some base coat onto a palette and apply with a brush so I don't contaminate my base coat bottle.
I know it isn't the correct way but it's worked for me so far. x

I could try that although with the curing of the Layer it & the curing of the added base layer, that really is extending the appointment time. Anything is worth a try though as I love the look but it simply doesn't last. Thanks

May be worth a message to lecente or sweet squared on fb to see what they say xx

I have the same issue with magpie aurora over Gelish, so I'm definitely going to try the foundation layer to see if this works, I paid for Aurora and used it once and haven't since because it just didn't last more than 2 days and that was with two top coats as well, thanks for this tip!! Hope it works

Do you cure the base coat for the usual length of time?

Hey! So I've just tried on my self the foundation layer over Aurora before top it off, but I found the foundation dragging the pigment off slightly...? I had to do it and cure it really quickly... do you find this? hoping it lasts longer than a couple days now though x

If you lightly brush on OPI BondAid or an acid-free primer after you rub in the chrome powder but before the final top coat it will keep it from chipping. I searched and searched for an answer and got this tip from Susie - Ten Little Canvases - in You-tube. She's awesome!
