just watched a few other videos and they all say you should apply non-wipe top coat onto the gel polish, let it cure for only 30 sec. (max) and then apply the chrome ... I tried it and it really works best for me
I’ve heard of people doing this. You have to be very careful with under cured polishes because it can lead to skin problems and allergies.
Amazing video and tips!!
Thanks!
I'm wearing chromes now too, topped it with Sparkling moscato instead of clear.
Oooh! How did that turn out?
Really good because I put two colours on each nail blue and silver, so the light gold sparkle really blended it together.
Do you cure after the chrome … does it goes under the light?
@@hairandmakupbyramraman7042 have to cure it after the top coat. You need a top coat to keep the chrome.
@@hairandmakupbyramraman7042 hey there! Actually how this works is you put whatever polish colour you want as a base and then cure. The chromes are just a powder so you rub a little onto the nails you just cured under the light and rub until you get a mirror finish. Then put a clear coat on top of this and cute to seal in the powder. ;) all done!
Hey, I am really struggling with this. My chrome powder looks like a mirror when i put it on the gel but the minute I put non wipe top coat on the mirror effect disappears.
Hmmm...that's a puzzler! Maybe it's the type of No Wipe Top Coat that you are using. Have you tried a different brand?
@@SylviaSimplySassyNails agree, it HAS to be!!
@@heatherbonelli that’s what I’m thinking as well, especially if it looks good before you put the top coat on.
If you accidentally touch the polish or notice the chrome doesn't stick, rub the area with alcohol and then apply the chrome again!
I don’t know how I missed this comment! 😆 sorry about that! I do find this works sometimes as well! With the holographic chromes, sometimes wiping with alcohol doesn’t do the trick and I have to put a new coat of clear on for it to stick well to :)
Can I remove chrome with actone or can I use alcohol
@@marianrodriguez7222 personally I do it with alcohol, I don't know how well it reapplies if you use acetone
@@marianrodriguez7222 As long as you didn't cure the chrome with a clear polish on top, using alcohol will remove the chrome. Sorry it took me so long to reply!
Ahh you answered my question at 5min.. I was going to ask if you had clearly frisky on the base color or just apply straight to the base color.. but what is your opinion on what way works better.. with or without the clearly frisky for applying the chrome powders..
Hey! I would say having a cured coat of Clearly Frisky on top of your colour will get the best and consistent results ;)
@@SylviaSimplySassyNails thank you so much for replying
@@jenpierce2385 Any time!
Can I use normal clear nail polish
Do loose chrome powders generally work better than pressed chrome? Did a pressed chrome set last night and it lietarrly fell apart when i took a shower this morning. To be fair my surface was no where near well prepped. In all videos, i notice most use loose poweders.
Hey! I have seen those but have no experience with them to be honest. Did you place a top coat on to keep the chrome in place? I have had no issues whatsoever with GelMoment's loose chrome powders. They last the full 2 to 3 weeks until I take remove the polish :)
Hi! Loving these new chrome. Do they look the same no matter what colour the base coat is? ie Clearly Frisky vs Raven’s Kiss?
Great question! No they done. The very first image of this video, if you pause it, my index and ring finger have Extraterrestrial on white polish (Lovee Dovee) and my ring and pinky have it on black polish (Raven’s Kiss). The lighter the colour used as the base, the lighter the chrome will look. Great thing is you can use whatever base colour you like!
Do you mean Lovee Dovee on your index and middle finger?
@@JD-ll6df lol yes
I’m loving your mat. Where did you find it?
You can find it right here! It's silicon and very easy to clean! sassenach.gelmoment.com/products/product/silicone-mat/
Are you still making videoes? Thanks
Yes I am! I’ve got one I’m editing to post hopefully in the next couple of days :) Are you looking for something specific?
What top coat do I need to keep the mirror look
Hey there! You just need a clear gel polish to put on top of the chrome powder. Cure that up and it will seal in the chrome!
I did but it just looked shiny like glitter not mirrorish if you know what I mean lol
@@ellieellie856 Are you using a GelMoment chrome? If so, which one?
@@SylviaSimplySassyNails makartt
@@ellieellie856 I can't really speak to their product as I haven't used it. Saying that, when you rub the chrome in, what you see will be the final result as the clear gel polish will only seal the chrome that you see on the nail (prevent it from rubbing off). It could be the type of chrome that you are using. In my video here, you see me rub a few in and the finished look doesn't change much when I put the clear polish on top.
Beautifull nailpolish fingers♥️😍♥️😍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you!!
I’m struggling so much with this!
Can you elaborate on which part you are struggling with?
@ it never comes out looking holographic it just looks super flat. I have cured it for 10 seconds 20 seconds 30 seconds in a full minute and it all looks the same.
@@ManisbyHeather I'm just seeing this comment now! Sorry for my tardy reply! Are you using GelMoment chrome and GelMoment Clearly Frisky or some other branded product? Does it look holographic before you cure but then doesn't after you apply the top coat?
So no non wipe topcoat?
All the gel polish you see here doesn't leave any sticky residue that needs to be wiped off. One of the many benefits of GelMoment gel polish. :) You polish, cure and off you go! To apply the chrome, just polish, cure, apply chrome and then apply your clear top coat and you are off to the races! 😊
Hi this my first too video thats i want too learn i never do chrome do first put the clear top coat good idea with finger just case if i lose eye appler
Most of our chromes does not need a clear coat first applied. Some of our holographic chromes do. You can apply and cure your colour and then use the Clearly Frisky clear gel polish and cure that, then apply the chrome to make it easy so that you don’t have to keep track which of our chromes need it or not. I was just trying to eliminate a step for those that have some of these chromes colours
@@SylviaSimplySassyNailsHi! Do we really nead to use a no cleaner topcoat? Why can't it be a normal one? Just trying to know everything about this type of application before starting. 😊
@@Lii__ This is a great question! I guess it really depends on the brand of polish that you use and the chrome? My experience with wiping the polish off with a cleaner, which is essentially alcohol, is that the chrome doesn’t stick to the nail afterwards very well.
That brands name is not easy to remember js
GelMoment is not an easy brand name to remember?
Naughty nail artist! Touching uncured/tacky gel polish is how one gets allergies! Don't recommend encouraging your customers to do that! Beautiful colours though!
Hey! Yes I know this fact and I would never tell anyone to touch or clean up uncured polish with their fingers. Thanks for saying this but I fail to see where I touched uncured polish in my video? If you are referring to the chrome that I put on with my finger, that is not polish. It's a chrome powder that is completely safe to touch and have on your skin.
@@SylviaSimplySassyNails aren't you rubbing it into the tacky layer on the polish? If not though, I apologise!
@@jimthechaosbunny Nope! I fully cured that polish layer and our polish doesn't leave a tacky layer once dry 😉 so you can rub the chrome right into it! I assure you, it's completely dry 😃
@@SylviaSimplySassyNailsIs this something unique to your product line? I feel like every other chrome video I have seen mentions that it will NOT stick unless the polish is partially cured.
@@nicoleo.8264I’m not sure as I haven’t tried any but GelMoment chrome. With ours, you cure completely and then rub the chrome in. We don’t have a tacky layer to rub off our gel polishes. I would be leery about having partially cured polish and then rubbing chrome in for a few reasons. First, partially cured polish means it’s not completely dry and can lead to developing allergies or other issues. If putting chrome on top of partially cured polish, that polish underneath will not have a chance to cure properly as the chrome will act as a barrier for the light to cure the polish underneath so even though you cure the partially cured polish with the chrome on top, it may not fully cure.
