Chrome Powder
Chrome Powder
Chrome Powders are decorative powders used to create chrome, metallic, iridescent, glazed and luminous reflective effects on nails. The final result depends on the powder, the colour underneath and the surface it is applied to.
How to choose a Chrome Powder
- Metallic effect: creates a more intense, reflective surface.
- Iridescent effect: changes depending on the light and the underlying colour.
- Transparent or glass effect: enhances the base colour by adding brightness and reflections.
Chrome Powder Glass Reflex
Chrome Powder Glass Reflex is one of the options available for adding luminous reflections to nail art. The final result can vary depending on the colour applied underneath the powder and the finishing products used.
