Chrome Manicures Are Here to Stay
Chrome nails have been popular for a while and they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. For those who aren’t aware, chrome is a reflective powder or gel is used to top a solid or gradient base. Toronto-based nail artist Rebecca Ramsdale says that the difference between the dusted chrome manis that we typically see and the webbed chrome that has been flooding our feeds lies in opting for chrome-like gels in paint pods over traditional powder. "Clients are loving liquid chrome for many reasons," she tells Coveteur. "It’s super eye-catching and contrasts well with any base. It feels like a modern upgrade to glitter detailing and can be used in many different styles of sets from basic to over-the-top designs."
Both the feel and finish of powder and liquid chrome are different. "Liquid chrome is like painting with molten metal," Ramsdale explains. "It’s often used in both flowing line work as well as organic line work, and adds a modern feel to the set." But powder can still be used to achieve a similar finish and whichever method you choose, you’re sure to love the results.
