Chrome Nails
Definition
Nail Trends
A reflective nail finish created by applying chrome powder or a chrome-effect system over prepared nails.
Explanation
Chrome nails are a finish or design effect rather than a full nail service by themselves. They are often added over gel, builder gel, acrylic, or a smooth manicure base. The final look can be glazed, metallic, pearly, or mirror-like. Ask whether chrome is priced as an add-on and how the top coat will protect the shine.
