How to make Chrome Last
To make chrome nail art last and prevent chipping, prep and sealing are key. Always apply chrome onto a fully cured, smooth base (usually over a no-wipe top coat) and make sure you don’t apply it too thick. Once the chrome is applied, seal it properly using a high-quality top coat, making sure to cap the free edge to lock everything in. Avoid touching the nails before top coating, as oils can affect adhesion. Taking your time with prep and sealing will help keep your chrome nail art looking flawless and long-lasting. ✨ If you find your chrome still chips seal in with a layer go BUILD+ Rubber base gel then top coat.
