2. Read About Spotless Chrome Nails
With chrome being such a big trend in recent years, there is no shortage of great material from Nailpro on chrome trends and techniques. We love this article on best chrome trends by Italian nail artist Alice Nali, where she not only goes over top issues and solutions with chrome, but also divulges top tips for chrome application and even goes step by step on a few techniques.
Nali notes, "The effectiveness of the chrome lasting is only half dependent on correct application — the other half being from the client’s care. It’s important to clarify that metallic powders are easier to damage and more delicate. The client should minimize typing, scratching, picking and shorting the nail while using nail tips."
