Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my chrome look cloudy?
Cloudy chrome usually means the base wasn't fully cured or you sealed too soon. Cure well and use a chrome-safe top coat.
Can I do chrome nails without a UV lamp?
True mirror chrome needs gel and a lamp, but chrome-effect powders and foils can give a similar look on regular polish.
