Chrome Manicure Design

Chrome nail design, also known as a rub-in powder effect, is created by gently buffing ultra-fine chrome pigment over a chosen base color. The result is a smooth, luminous finish with a mirror-like glow and subtle color shifts.

Chrome is a refined way to add brilliance without overpowering the overall look. The nails catch the light beautifully, creating a soft, elegant shine reminiscent of pearls or precious stones. One of the most requested options is pearl chrome, which does not change the base shade — it simply enhances it with calm, sophisticated reflections.

This design is typically applied on a perfectly leveled surface after the nail architecture is built during a Russian manicure. It can also be used selectively on decorative details to emphasize specific elements. For textured or raised designs, it’s important to note that chrome may wear faster on high-contact areas due to natural friction — this is a characteristic of the material itself.

Suitable for any nail length and shape, chrome can be applied over almost any color and pairs seamlessly with both minimal and bold designs. The palette ranges from delicate pearly and iridescent tones to rich, statement shades like fiery orange, ruby red, emerald green, or sapphire blue — offering endless options for customization.

Sleek, radiant, and modern, chrome nails deliver a polished, luxurious finish with a captivating glow.

The Chrome design is offered as an add-on service and can be performed only in combination with a Signature Russian Gel Manicure, Hard Gel Manicure, Nail Extensions, or a Gel Pedicure.
