Isolated Chrome Tutorial ✨Step by Step below✨

Step 1: Apply your base color

Apply your preferred base color and cure fully according to the product’s instructions.

Step 2: Apply a matte top coat

- Apply a non-wipe matte top coat. For best results, use one labeled chrome-resistant or one known to work well with chrome.
- Cure for 60 seconds.

Step 3: Wipe with alcohol

- Wipe the surface with alcohol to ensure it’s clean before moving on.

Step 4: Apply black gel

- Apply a layer of black gel polish. I prefer using a non-wipe black gel, but you can use a regular black gel polish as well.
- Cure for 60 seconds.
- If you use a regular gel polish that leaves a tacky layer, wipe it with alcohol after curing.

Step 5: Add the 3D design

- Use a 3D black non-wipe gel to create your raised design.
- Cure for 60 seconds.

Step 6: Apply the chrome

- Using a small sponge applicator, rub the chrome powder onto the design.
- Once you’re happy with the coverage, use a thicker sponge to wipe away the excess powder more firmly.

Step 7: Seal the design
(Choose either option)

- Option A: Apply a thin layer of base coat, followed by a top coat.
- Option B: Apply a full layer of top coat directly.

Cure the final top coat for 120 seconds, following the product manufacturer’s instructions.
