Chrome is so unforgiving!!! Even when I think I have a perfectly smooth nail and top coat, the chrome "shows" me otherwise 🤦♀️ Thank you for these tips, Suzie!
I find most nail channels that I look for, I find it harder to follow or understand but you really shine through, its so easy to actually follow as I do my own set and the music too is relaxing haha. Thank you so much for this
I am only growing my nails (I have been a biter for 30 years), but videos like these help inspire me to stop. It has been 6 days now. I am now a new subscriber! Thanks for helping to break a bad habit!
WOW! I never knew that alcohol could interfere with the smoothness of the top coat/polish layer, thanks for sharing this, and thanks for all the great tips you always have for us. I love the chrome nail look💗flawless final look😍
Ms Suzie, thank you for taking time to explain. I was having terrible with my chrome being dull, not sticking and being bumpy. You addressed all my issues 🥰💅🏻
Hi Suzie, I'm a guy who was just searching for your standard "chrome" nail polish and I happened to come across your video. I have for years, always maintained and manicured my own nails, but I had no idea the type of product you educate in even existed! So obviously, I'm new to chrome powders, but very interested! Your tutorial is really fantastic! You are supremely talented in your art and it is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for the information and knowledge you share. Now I just have to decide if I want to invest in a UV lamp and a dremel. I'd really love to try my hand(s) at it. I've subscibed to your channel, just in case. ;)
I even do the 15 sec, and rub it in as quickly as possible, this gives me the best results. And one nail at the time, so it is consistent throughout the whole set.
Suzie, this was beyond helpful! I pots of chrome that I'd given up on till now! You're the best and I adore all of your products! Thanks again! ~Jen in Cali 😎💕
This was extremely helpful! I’ve been wanting to learn how to apply chrome correctly and these tips really helped out how to fix my boo-boos lol I also appreciate that you explained about the use of alcohol to wipe off the nail and what it can cause to the top coat. I had the same issue but now I know for next time. Love love your videos ❤
For some reason I never thought to go over chrome a second time for more even and vibrant effects 😭😭 thanks so much!! this will help me with future clientele
Just used chrome powder for the first time. Had to go back to your story to see how to use. 🙏 They're shiny but not as shiny as yours. So maybe I didn't cure long enough. Thankful for this video 😁 I need more fingers! I ordered your clear glass, some chrome powders, pressed flowers, gems. So many designs so little fingers! 😄
Unfortunately I came across your most informative video after I've gone through countless times of experimenting ("hey, let's try it this way."). I learned a lot from your vid. Thx so much. 😊
Thank you thank you thank you! I have been trying chrome for months and could never get the full mirror effect until this video, so thank you so much for slowing it down and taking the time to explain everything...wonderful video!!
@Nail Career Education thank you for the tip about what to do if your chrome powder looks dull. I had this problem when I first tried using chrome powders, and I couldn't understand what I was doing wrong, so I gave up on it. I just randomly came across this video and after watching, I thought I'd give it another go (the way you suggested) and my nails came out amazing! Thank you so much! ❤️💅
Thank you so much for all the inspiration you have given e all of us over the years! You are absolutely amazing! On topic with Chrome, I have found that a 20sec cure is my sweet spot...it soooo shiny! Thanks again!!
You have the Prettiest nails I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a lot! I love their shape! ❤️❤️ I love this video and all of your videos. I did recently buy some chromes and micas. I’ve not experimented yet with them. I started doing my own nails in June. I started with regular polish, but I hate waiting for each coat to dry! So, I started with the mineral powder polishes (curing with lamps) everyone I follow on FB are using. Love it but it’s too expensive to buy a lot of colors. Hence, I bought the chromes and micas. I’m not a nail tech but I want to learn from your videos. You help a lot! Please keep them coming!❤️❤️❤️
I have zero interest about nails, I would never get some for myself, really but.... these videos are most mesmerizing! I enjoy watching that for some reason. :D
Great video and even better scientific method. I had no idea how much went into fingernail art and I learned a lot. I'm a bit of a weird guy, I'm an adult who's almost fifty and I make stuff with Lego. Lately I've been making kaleidoscopes using adhesive mirror, but it's not great on curves and impossible on anything with a compound curve shape, but fingernails have that compound curve type shape. I watched another RUclipsr using powder chrome finger nail polish for some hood ornaments that were made of resin and it beat chrome spray paints of high quality hands down! So, I've been watching videos about its use. I'm in this kinda rabbit hole now about making chrome Lego to make fun and interesting things. I'm working on a 3D kaleidoscope with huge sections of mirror, because both eyes are required, but I want to make other things that shine like mirror and I appreciate the information and effort. So, thanks! I will make some videos of stuff I make and Link to my RUclips channel if anyone is interested. Once again, great job and thank you so much!
I have so many chrome powders that don't stick, wasn't sure if it was because it was a rubbish powder or a rubbish top coat 🤣 will try this out when I do my nails next ❤️
Thanks Suzie! 😁 I'm doing all my nails with a different color powder chrome today. I was expecting no less than to find a tutorial on your channel even though I read/watched video directions on RUclips. Have a Woundabah Wednesday! ❤ 🦋🌹🦋
Dear Suzie, I love your tutorials and learned several things form you and I m grateful. ONE SOS HELP PLS: on Christmas I had my nails done by a salon (I did a permanent gel) and after having them removed I realized they are EXTREMELY THIN and fragile. They gave me a THERAPY from a well known brand but NO RESCUE.. even now they are at this same BAD CONDITION. -->What do you suggest I do? 🙏🏼 thank you
If you had them done about Christmas time and then had them removed there after when they removed them, it sounds like they took off too much of your natural nail, which has caused them to be thin and now they’re probably a little bit sore or tender. Of course you could put more product on it to protect them, but it won’t improve them. The only thing that’s going to make them better is to let them completely grow out. Nails take about 3 to 6 months to grow out from your cuticle the free edge. And there’s only depends on the length of your nail bed and how naturally fast or slow they grow. so rest assured, give it a couple more months and they’ll be feeling a lot better
and with that, you now have a subscriber! (the only other vid i saw with you was just on some whites and comparing them, which is what i was looking for at the time. but this is just too friggin cool. i like to see technique, to determine if i wanna bother. some nail art and stuff is just too fussy or time consuming for me. :) so thank you, ma'am!)
hey thank you. i'd never even seen chrome nails till this and now when i see them i get how it's actually achieved. tbh i thought maybe it was just a type of nail polish. NOW i get the whole nail powder thing, too. it must be applied like this i'm guessing. "dips" or whatever. (man, if only for this it might be worth having a nuker and some gel polish. it's pretty rad.)
What do you recommend for a decent e-file that won't break the bank? Just started watching you again and doing my nails again and I'm looking for a good e-file.
I love watching your videos you always taught me so much especially when I was first learning but with chrome it will come out nice but the next day or so it will start to peel up how do I stop that from happening?
Can you use just regular gel topcoat like gelish or DND to cover the chrome ? or do you have to use no wipe….. today I had a horrible experience and I can’t figure out what happened. I used gold chrome, & when I put the topcoat on it turned green. I think the no wipe underneath the chrome was old but I just don’t know it was a nightmare😂!!!!!!!!! I ended up buffing the topcoat lightly putting another coat of no wipe and then just doing silver mirror chrome and it was fine then I used a regular Gel topcoat and it seemed OK but I’m telling you I was not happy
I've never used non-wipe top coats for chrome nails. They work perfectly with regular top coats, you just have to wipe the sticky layer off before applying the chrome powder.
@@yolandaarocha6067 Yes, you apply the top coat, cure it, wipe the sticky layer off with alcohol or cleanser and then apply the chrome. Every video I see on chrome says it only works with a non-wipe top coat.. when it works with a basic top coat as well, you just have to wipe it.
Hey Suzie. Thanks for another great video. I have a question though, you mentioned that it’s important to have a duster to dust the chrome off. But how would you sanitize it? Or could you use the solution that is used to sanitize the other implements.
You could spray with Alcohol. We must be sensitive to sanitation but with in reasonable boundaries. Our hands and clients hands should be washed before we sit in the chairs. Then we spray with alcohol. So when you use a duster it’s being used the surface is clean. So keep a few dusters and spray with alcohol with time to dry.
I have noticed that chrome only works with very specific brands of top coat. I had to buy IBD INTENSE SEAL. Ever since I started using this top coat with chrome I don't have any issues. Cure completely. Burnish the chrome. And top with whatever top coat.
How do you prevent pitting? I get it when I top coat my regular gel polish whether I wipe away the dispersion layer or not. I use gel polish and top coat from the same brand
It can also be from a layer of residue on the previous coach before you apply the topcoat. That’s why I say be careful when it comes to alcohol. If you’re going to use it, it’s quite advantageous to clean it up, but make sure the alcohol dries completely before you put the topcoat on. Top coats will also separate or pit when they doesn’t go together with the previous gel polish brand that you have underneath. It doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with it. It just doesn’t go with what you’re putting it on top of.
Can chrome ever be done on dip nails? If so, does that mean a gel topcoat is needed? P.S., I just love your videos! I'm not a nail tech. I just find them soothing to watch :)
Hi there I really appreciate these videos are you applying over a layer of acrylic? I just wondered why you referred to it as a topcoat when it looked like it was going on as a basecoat too if I want to do a delicate application of Chrome for my daughters engagement photos I want to do a light color pink with a light white chrome. So, one coat color then chrome? Then topcoat?
Hey suzie! I was wondering if you could do a video on "aquarium" nails? I've watched jst about all your videos and have never seen you do it before. And is it safe? Since there's water/ oil sitting in the nail. Thanks!!!
@yerma6149 I use on my natural nails. The only issue I saw is that regular top coat affects the finish. From the tests I did, only gel top coat preserves the chrome effect well. But you can use it! Some folks even use eyeshadow, but I never tried it :) I plan to make a video about that top coat issue soon, but user TinyFingers.nailart already has one about it.
And I always wondered y my top coat had separation dips in it!! So frustrating! Now I know y! I use alcohol alot but I use 91% does that matter? I know There's still water in it jst a smaller amount
Hi Suzie. I live in Edmonton and would love to come to your course. Where would a person stay close to where the event will be held? I paid $2800 a year ago to take a gel nail course and 4 months ago my instructor vanished off the face of the earth. It’s extremely frustrating. She just abandoned me and the company she was under contract with won’t do anything to help me. So spent all that money and no certificate 😢. I’m on a disability pension so $2800 was a kings ransom to me. I have been learning everything from your videos and they have been a godsend. I’d like to speak to you about this a little more if you have time. ❤
Thank you for all the great info and beautiful nails. Hope the class goes great wish I could be there but just a DIY. Love watching and learning from you in your videos. 💜💜💜🤗
Hi! I’d like to avoid the extra $20 for chrome at the nail salon and just do it at home. Do you suggest I start with alcohol over the nail salons top coat to get the oils off and then go in with my chrome layer? Or should I put another top coat on top of the nail salons top coat?
Even with dusting well, chrome gets on my top coat brush, and contaminates the bottle. I’ve tried wiping the brush between nails, but that doesn’t get it all. Any tips to avoid this?
Yes! Thank you though. Since her sitcom back in the 70s people have told me that Honestly I don’t look like her as much as I did when I was 14 till about 30 ish
new subscriber here love your calming + informative videos ! I have a question - I've just done chrome on my own nails for the first time (I'm a complete biab gel nail beginner so not great at technique etc) and the chrome powder is all on my skin around my nail and I cant get it off ! what can I use to remove it off the skin? cx
When I put a top coat over the chrome I lose its matte effect and it becomes super glittery. Is that a mistake? Shouldn’t I apply top coat over it? Thanks for answering 😊
Hi Suzie. Quick question; if the chrome covers the entire nail, what does the top coat adhere to? I always thought all layers needed a sticky layer to attach to.
So I am a nail technician and I take my nails off the right way with acetone but my nails are still so thin and red I even went to school for this and your nails look so healthy how do you not make them thin or red

I see pitting in the nail😢 in the video..That happens to me too but WHY
?????? Not every nail, so frustrating
I find most nail channels that I look for, I find it harder to follow or understand but you really shine through, its so easy to actually follow as I do my own set and the music too is relaxing haha. Thank you so much for this
I am only growing my nails (I have been a biter for 30 years), but videos like these help inspire me to stop. It has been 6 days now. I am now a new subscriber! Thanks for helping to break a bad habit!
Good for you!!!!!!
That's awesome! I was a biter until around my 20s, best wishes on your journey 🤗
4 months in I believe in you 😊
Same, more than 30 years. Nailpolish saved me. :)
WOW! I never knew that alcohol could interfere with the smoothness of the top coat/polish layer, thanks for sharing this, and thanks for all the great tips you always have for us. I love the chrome nail look💗flawless final look😍
You are the reason I started doing my own nails. Your videos never fail! Thank you!
Ms Suzie, thank you for taking time to explain. I was having terrible with my chrome being dull, not sticking and being bumpy. You addressed all my issues 🥰💅🏻
Can chrome nails be done without lamps?
@@FNJ720 I think Sparkle & Co. sell a product that does not require a lamp. I have not tried it but did see a video demo. I hope that helps.

Yes a lamp but stay away from a Dremel- that’s meant in a metal workshop not for nails
I even do the 15 sec, and rub it in as quickly as possible, this gives me the best results. And one nail at the time, so it is consistent throughout the whole set.
I never heard about the reaction of the alcohol and the too coat before! Thank you!!
Me either
Hey suzie! Could you please do long vid demonstrating opal nails!😍 that’d be so much fun to watch you do it and I know they’ll come out amazing🙏🏼🤍
Seconded! I’d love to see in depth opal nails…. My favorite.
Third this one. I haven’t seen any of that, but I can’t imagine it being anything but stunning!
I 4th this❣️
I would love this too!

Thankful for this video 😁 I need more fingers! I ordered your clear glass, some chrome powders, pressed flowers, gems. So many designs so little fingers! 😄
Thanks! Can you try layering the confetti top coat over the tiger eye polish?
Ill try that
You saying "top coat" is giving me flashbacks to Cristine's "taco"😂
You are a wealth of knowledge! Thank you for teaching us!!!!!
All right, I’ve almost said Taco a few times, once I did, we had to cut it out
🎉 🇨🇦 from Ontario , Suzie, you're the best 👌 teacher. I'm glad to find your channel 😊. I've learned a lot from you, Thank you so much ❤

Hey Suzie....I'm from Germany and I love your videos😍😍😍
Awesome, thank you! But I found it necessary to do the base coating and after top coating 😊 worked for me well!
This was very helpful. Maybe that’s why chrome French is so popular by me…you don’t have to deal with the cuticle chrome crusties 😂
Good point - a French Krome is beautiful, however
I usually go with the French tip for chrome, too. I love how it has an elongating effect.
Do you have a photo?

Im not one to leave comments but this video is a God send. It works! Thank you so much!
Dear Suzie, I love your tutorials and learned several things form you and I m grateful.
ONE SOS HELP PLS: on Christmas I had my nails done by a salon (I did a permanent gel) and after having them removed I realized they are EXTREMELY THIN and fragile.
They gave me a THERAPY from a well known brand but NO RESCUE.. even now they are at this same BAD CONDITION.

Thank you, I’m going to be doing mermaid powder for the first time, over white this week (on myself) and I want it to look great!
This helps so much. I love chrome but it's so finicky. This will change my chrome game. Thank you so much
Love 💕 your channel.. you have some amazing looking nails.💐💗❤️💓🌸
Good to know! Thanks so much. Off you only want chrome on certain places, how do you prevent from getting everywhere else?
Only apply the no wipe top coat where you want the chrome to go. The excess chrome won’t have anything to “cling to” and can then be dusted away
hey thank you. i'd never even seen chrome nails till this and now when i see them i get how it's actually achieved. tbh i thought maybe it was just a type of nail polish. NOW i get the whole nail powder thing, too. it must be applied like this i'm guessing. "dips" or whatever.

What do you recommend for a decent e-file that won't break the bank? Just started watching you again and doing my nails again and I'm looking for a good e-file.
You did this video with such speed after your short! Thank you 😍
Love your nails your videos. How do you find an experienced nail tech that wont ruin your nails
thank you for explaining everything so clearly
I love watching your videos you always taught me so much especially when I was first learning but with chrome it will come out nice but the next day or so it will start to peel up how do I stop that from happening?
Good to know how to get a beautiful set of chromed nails.

When ur going around the cuticle with the skinny gold bit are u just going over the skin or nail too

Hi Suzie,
Can you apple chrome to a gel base coat? Or is it only for no-wipe top coat? Thanks! 🤍✨
Did the nail get thick when you do two coats of the chrome? Also can you do a video on doing chrome nail art?
Yes, Everytime you add a layer it’s becoming thicker
Thank you! I got one of those powders at the store the other day and I am obsessed! I want all variations possible now :)
They are amazing

Oh Kate- I am so sorry! That is just terrible!
Please email me at nailcareer@me.com
We can discuss further 🧡
Hey Suzie ! Could you please tell if we can use any top coat before applying chrome powder?
Awesome tips suzie!! Thanks so much!
Thank you for all the great info and beautiful nails. Hope the class goes great wish I could be there but just a DIY. Love watching and learning from you in your videos. 💜💜💜🤗
Hi! I’d like to avoid the extra $20 for chrome at the nail salon and just do it at home. Do you suggest I start with alcohol over the nail salons top coat to get the oils off and then go in with my chrome layer? Or should I put another top coat on top of the nail salons top coat?
Thank you! I just did my first chrome nails!💕
Once again you are THAT GIRL! Thank you for the tips
Hey Suzie! How long is the cure for the NCE topcoat under LED? Thank you so much!
Even with dusting well, chrome gets on my top coat brush, and contaminates the bottle. I’ve tried wiping the brush between nails, but that doesn’t get it all. Any tips to avoid this?
You probably hear this a lot, but you remind me so much of Valerie Bertinelli
Love your channel
Yes! Thank you though.
Since her sitcom back in the 70s people have told me that
Honestly I don’t look like her as much as I did when I was 14 till about 30 ish
Is top coat is same gel polish? Or different thanks
Thank you for the video. What kind of drill is that?
That's so helpful and amazing, but I don't have the money to do the class but I love your videos and the helpful tips that you give 🙂
Thank you for this video! I've been struggling with bubbles in my chrome and now I know it's the rubbing alcohol. You're the best! 🫶
Can you do a chrome with regular polish? I’m allergic to gel polish
new subscriber here love your calming + informative videos ! I have a question - I've just done chrome on my own nails for the first time (I'm a complete biab gel nail beginner so not great at technique etc) and the chrome powder is all on my skin around my nail and I cant get it off ! what can I use to remove it off the skin? cx
The topcoat I have cures in 30 but even 15 makes it so that the chrome has a hard time sticking. I love that top coat though ugh
When I put a top coat over the chrome I lose its matte effect and it becomes super glittery. Is that a mistake? Shouldn’t I apply top coat over it? Thanks for answering 😊
Thank you!! your background is stellar!!!!
Hi Suzie. Quick question; if the chrome covers the entire nail, what does the top coat adhere to? I always thought all layers needed a sticky layer to attach to.
This why sometimes some will lift cause it doesn’t adhere - but try a thin layer and a good quality top coat
Thank you so much. This was so informative
Could i do this with a no-wipe color? I have a no-wipe black that would be perfect as a base color.
Suzie what about chipping? Does that mean the top cost was not applied properly?
Good Day, I kindly want to ask can glaze work with chrome? Or can you only use the topcoat that says non wipe.
Do you have to have any specific gel polish or can you use any? Also, does this mess your nails up when it comes off?
Any gel polish - chrome will not mess up your nails - just don’t scrape it off
@NailCareerEducation okay thanks so much. To get it off so you just soak it or just let it come off on its own
Hi Suzie! What drill do you use?
I actually use my Efile
You can find the info at nailcareer.com
So I am a nail technician and I take my nails off the right way with acetone but my nails are still so thin and red I even went to school for this and your nails look so healthy how do you not make them thin or red
Girl, I was thinking the same question!
