Stunned with how the sheen this chrome is giving off! Tay booked a tier 2 mani and told me to do whatever so of course I gave her my two faves- pigments and chrome 🤤✨

Finally getting around to posting the nails I thought about for weeks until I did them!! These were so fun to do but definitely a learning curve for sure. Basically nail besties, if you have a gut feeling don’t ignore it. I did some of the 3D details with a silver chrome art gel which is a bit thicker and I was worried it might not cure all the way but did it anyways. It didn’t implode on itself and it was cured hard to the touch but of course within a few minutes any actual pressure caused the details to pop like a pimple 😪 gel allergy city!!! If I would have just listened to my gut it would have saved me ton of time instead of having to go back and redo everything. Clear 3D then paint it! Also, leaving pigment powder on the skin too long will stain it learned that too. 🤣 overall, I’m still super proud of these nails okay they are cool af (y2k goth nails of my dreams) and so thankful for who will let me do nails like this on her and then sit there while I almost completely redo them 🫠❤️

The color scheme! The textures! The vibes! I can’t get enough of mix n match sets 🫶
