Rose gold chrome nails

[courtney]

Hi everyone

Could anyone shed some light on these nails for me... Where could i purchase some of the powder/glitter used and how is it applied to the acrylics, would i have to use a shellac base coat apply the powder then shellac top coat over it ? I dont really venture out withh nails much i tend to just do full colour/glitter, and french need to start trying different things and nail art, bought a stamper from sweet squared and their creative plaympolishes and a paisley pattern nail plate and i struggled with thet i was only getting a patchy transfer on my rubber stamper anyway im waffling now lol thanks in advance everyone oh and also how much extra would you charge for doing this and what colour acrylics would it be best doing over... Or does it not matter ? I charge £25 usually for any colour/glitter xx

I bought my chrome "mirror" powder from Wildflower in the states. Best one iv used to far. You ideally need to put it on top of a soak off black gel, cure the gel, then dab a minimal amount of powder into the nail using an eyeshadow applicator and rubbing it to give it that mirror shine. Then you apply a "no wipe" top coat. Ready to go

Personally, I don't charge for nail art ect but I too have heard lots of salons/nail techs charging an extra amount for the chrome nails.
Maybe I'm missing out.........lol

Wow! I can't see why. I charge £28 for full set and £23 for infills/overlays. This is including all nail art, powders, glitters, holographics, diamontes ect

I charge £35 for chrome nails which is slightly more than my glitter nails as it takes me more time and I use a disposable applicator for each new set.
Tbh they aren't that popular, as said before by Pure it's more us nail techs that got over excited by it.
I like if for an accent nail or mixed in with other stuff rather than a full set.

Hey Suzanne,

I tried a few and most went 'smeary' but a salon I used to work for have there own gel range and have a product called 'ProTech' which is a no wipe sealant and this works really well with minimal smear.
IBD no cleanse works.

And I hate to admit it, but I also tried the Bluesky No Wipe and that works too.

It's expensive, but in my test it keeps it colour better than Magpie Tiara. I'm wearing both (one per hand, both are over the same colour and no wipe top coat, 2 coats of no wipe on top) the Tiara has yellowed and gone golder, the Wildflowers one has stayed silver

Hi guys sorry I'm confused again looked on the wild flower and it looks silver in the pic does it defiantly make the rose gold effect over a pink base? X

 

[Nail Perfection]

Yes it does I'm wearing it now over a bright pink

Gel2 No Wipe

Struggling to find where to buy this, is it available in the UK?

Can only find from International sellers on eBay and on Google I find their website but unsure how to sign up and if I actually have to?

I believe Creative Beauty Group is the UK supplier: http://www.thecreativebeautygroup.co.uk/products/gel-two.

I tried rubbing a mermaid pigment into the gel two colour coat and that doesn't feel as tacky as the other gel polishes I have.
