Chrome nails: what they are and how to make them last
May 20, 2026 · 3 min read
Chrome (or mirror) nails are that liquid-metal, elegant finish that transforms any look. It's achieved by applying a powder pigment over cured gel until that mirror shine is sealed in.
Why we love it
It goes with everything: gold for a touch of luxury, silver for something fresher, or pearl tones for brides. And in photos, it simply shines.
How to make it last
- Always seal with top coat (we already do this).
- Apply cuticle oil daily.
- Avoid harsh gels and soaps.
What to know
Chrome looks best over a flawless base, which is why nail prep is key. Done right, it holds its shine for 2 to 3 weeks.
