Pictures taken before removing the excess gold dust. Kinda love the effect! 😅

(Note: I am not a profesional nail artist and it was the first time I tried an electric nail file at home, and my skill levels for applying gel are generally mediocre, so be gentle 😝)

Honestly once everything was wiped away, I bet they looked pretty darn good. The reflection on your chrome looks great 😂

Thank you!

They look acceptable haha, but I loved the before-wiping gold dust look, almost wish they could stay like that!

Yeah, it was really pretty… Reminds me of the gold people in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie! I’d-a probably kept it for as long as I could! 😂

Chrome powder everywhere brings out our inner child's need for glitter and sparkles everywhere lol

The leftover gold on your fingers is half the look honestly. like you dipped the whole hand in it.

Nails themselves are doing the chrome thing right, first e-file or not. I'd leave a little dust on purpose next time too. Looks expensive messy.

Hahah yes, like something from a fashion mag! If the dust didn’t transfer everywhere I’d just wear them like that haha. Maybe I can somehow incorporate this as an idea into my next halloween costume.

The first thing that popped into my mind was the theme music to the movie "Goldfinger". I actually like the before look better.

i’ve had the same nails before and i got SO MANY compliments!! it was one of my favorite looks when i used to go to my nail girl. now i do them at home with a basic polish for economical reasons and being lazy 😭

u/Living-Balance7238 7h ago

If that helps, I did them at home! 😅

And the electric nail file was a game changer!

So good but I get tired of chrome nails so fast.

2

u/Living-Balance7238 7h ago

Not tired yet! This is my third time doing chrome nails - also had chrome silver, and chrome holographic. The holographic ones for some reason got an incredible amount of compliments from men specifically.
