Pretty Diva 7 Colors Pearl Chrome Powder Set, Magic White Pearl Chrome Powder for Nails Aurora Iridescent Pearl Nail Chrome Powders Metallic Manicure Pigment

***UPDATE*** First use I gave 4 stars as on the display nails, I needed to do 2 coats to get a decent chrome effect... First use on real nails only 1 coat was needed to achieve an INCREDIBLE chrome effect. The colors I used over black (I think # 4,5,6,7) have great shine! ***first impression*** I dont have much experience using these chrome type powders, but got fairly decent results during testing. I hope that with practice, I can achieve results like pictured in the sales posting. My main disappointment is that on the white background, all the powders look the same. They are very nice looking pearling effect, but all 7 look the same. Maybe outside in natural sunlight that will be different? I tested at night. Now the effect on black background, decent...I did have to use 2 coats though...I used Pretty Diva No Wipe Top coat, and rubbed each on an individual nail, then applied to coat again...not happy with the effect, I re top coated, and this time only cured half time, then rubbed powder on again, applied top coat, and cured regular time...this made the chrome effect much better. I will watch YouTube videos and see what others are doing for full effect. I will continue to use as it is pretty cool!

this chrome is so good! it goes over neutral and bold colors well! there is multiple chrome shade so its so fun to play with. this is one of the best chromes ive found of amazon...highly recommend!!

good for the price. easy to use. i like to use de 001, it gives a pearly look, and i ve gotten so many compliments

I tested the powdered as soon as they arrived! Great pigment and sheer. I tested it on a white color and they came out beautiful. I used a regular base, regular color, and an OPI top coat. Kept the effect. I saw a video on YouTube to use a water based top coat but this actually filled the sheer so the OPI top coat worked best. After a few trials, I realized just using your finger to place the powder on nails also worked better than the sponge applicators that came with the powers.

I love the pearl/chrome look. This is number 1 over a light pink. People saying it comes out as sparkly and not pearl-like most likely aren’t buffing enough with the small sponge brushes they come with. You have to put some effort in, not just cover the nail with the powder. The photo I posted is 6 days since I’ve done them so they seem to be holding up well. I also an alcohol wipe over the no wipe top coat before putting on the powder like another reviewer said it it seems to have worked well. Here is what I did: - base coat - gel color (optional) - gel color (optional) - top coat - alcohol wipe - power + buff - brush off excess with makeup brush (over the sink) - top coat

I have watched many videos on how to figure out chrome powder, but for some reason this chrome powder never gives that "wow" effect. It is pretty, especially on a white or black base, but any other color makes the chrome seem to disappear. I love the glazed look this chrome gives, but it is much less chrome than I expected.

I’m not sure why some people are having issues. If you’ve ever had this done in a salon it helps know how the steps are done. But after cleaning nails. I use ph bond. Then I put on a base coat cure. nail color. Cure. Second coat of nail color. Cure. NON-WIPE top coat. Cure. Then: Use the powder. Dip brush into powder and generously rub into nail color until you have desired chrome effect. Don’t be shy. Rub rub rub. Then Use a typical top coat. Cure. Then wipe away with alcohol. I used number 4 with a red color which turned into a pinkish/purplish chrome. Just experiment. In my opinion, you really can’t go wrong. Each powder has a tint. Purple, blue, green, red and so on.

A nail salon introduced my to "chrome" effect. They charged me 25 dollars extra. These powders are awesome. And I didn't follow instructions with the no wipe top coat! It still came out smooth. This effect was on a light purple gel color....next ill try with white...or black ....the red is more like orange but maybe one coat of that and one of the magenta will show up red....i highly recommend these powders.
