Do you have clients asking for chrome nails?
Pure said that it was us that were excited and not clients and I have to agree. I was asked once and she didn't turn up!
I already have all the magpie range and hadn't tried tiara until the chrome mania and haven't used it since!

You honestly don't need a no wipe top coat I done it with my express 5. Do your colour twice and then topcoat and once done take out and remove the inhibition layer on one finger and quickly dip your finger in the chrome pigment and rub hard into the nail. Do it one by one
Here is my nails

This was over be demure shellac

Right, let me get this right, you're dipping into the powder once the inhibition layer is removed? What is it sticking to?

Also, why 2 colour coats? Why not just one, isn't it wasting product when you can't see the underneath colour anyway?

I've just answered your other thread.

The pigment is attracted to the brand new surface of the cured product bit like static attracts dust.

Some are using two coats as you an get a grainy effect if you don't use enough pigment and the second coat helps fill in the gaps

Just to clarify....you don't dip. ...you apply the pigment with an eyeshadow applicator. Check out Sarah R on YouTube for a great tutorial - she's one of our talented Geeks too

It was one of my clients who twisted my arm to get Tiara after sending me a few posts of the chrome nails she kept seeing online and asked if I can re-create...this was a while ago now but the hype seems to be dying down lately among clients

I have a few ladies that like the other glitter dusts and have asked to
Book in but I am yet to see if they change their minds once they are here

No, I wouldn't have dipped simply due to getting into the sidewalls lol was more needing the clarification about the inhibition layer, makes sense now though, thanks x

No, driving me mad. I've had enough now

You know when you've done your nails and your about to wipe the tacky later off the cured topcoat? We'll take your pad and remove it on one nail then quickly dab your working clean finger into the chrome and then rub it into the nail you've just wiped really fast until it squeaks

That's what I've been doing!

Guys when I say dip your finger what I meant was your working hand.. I wear a glove and use my finger to rub the chrome in! So dip your finger in the chrome and rub onto the nail.. U get me? Not actually dip your nail into the chrome no no no
