Chameleon Chrome Nail Powder Chrome Powder for Gel Nails,Nail Chrome Powder Shinning Chrome Pigment Mirror Glitter Chrome Powder for Nails Fine Glitter(8 box)

I've tried the gamut of nail powders available on Amazon. All hoping that the next one would be better than the last. Charming May was my first batch. No other ones have exceeded these powders yet. Too bad they don't make a laser holo one, because all the holos I've tried so far are horrible and can't find one like they use in a salon. Anyway, these Charming May powders are heavily pigmented, you only need a tiny tiny bit to get the effect or you can do multiple layers for an even deeper intense effect. All the little pots I got were pretty full, they will last a long time.Tips for those who aren't familiar with using these powders:You can use them over regular OR gel polish. But!! For the optimal adhesion, you must not wait till the color/top coat layer is fully dry. The key I've found is to pat the powder on while the layer is *almost* fully dry (for regular polish) or a 30 second gel cure. No more than 30 secs for gel!! Dab the powder on for coverage, then go back and press down and smooth it out and lightly burnish it with your finger tip. It becomes like metal, so shiny and smooth!! Wait till fully dry THEN apply your no wipe gel top coat and cure 60 secs x2 for a nice hard finish.Instructions say to put it on the top coat, then apply final top coat, but that isn't necessary. You can, but then you need 2 layers of top coat. I personally don't like thick gel nails, so I only put it on my base color then finish with the top coat.Note!! If using a regular non gel top coat, these powders WILL dull down a bit. So beware of that. These are meant to be used with gel top coats for the maximum effect.Done properly, these nail powders are just AMAZING.

Really beautiful duochrome powders! They are small containers with a small amount of powder, and for the price it makes sense! I won't be using them often enough for the amount to bother me!

The colors were pretty, but no where close to picture. They didn’t change colors like picture shows

In the photos above this product is only in my middle fingers along the edge to the top. It reflects amazing colors and adhered very easy to the tack of my shellac polish by picking some up with tweezers then gently “walking” it up the side of the nail which I did over the jar to be able to cleanly retain any that fell away in the process to minimize mess/waste. I then tapped them down gently and then applied my top coats. They worked better than I expected and will definitely buy them again when I run out!I am also trying to review “Charming May” chrome powder the 8 piece set but it keeps reopening this exiting review so I will just say here that the ring finger pictures is the green chrome over a berry plum shellac. I did not do it over my top coat I did it onto my 2nd layer of shellac and used very little of it too. I put it in first with the shadow brush narrow tip side then I rubbed it down with my finger and I think it is stunning! I followed it up with my shellac top coat and the mirror effect is beautiful and it compliments the purple hues depending on how the light hits it as well as the teal top of my ombré on the middle finger. I am very pleased with all of the Charming May products but I really wish that you got more product for the money but the results are worth it in my opinion.

DO NOT PURCHASE!The containers for each of the powers only holds a SMALL amount. The picture for the product is deceptive. The powders are not multi-chrome rainbow of colors. They are monotone. Though they advertised 8 containers of different colors, I received duplicates of the same or similar color. I used a nail disc and used each color over black and white. Please refer to the picture. This was a waste of money and time. I hope i can return the item.

I somehow missed the fact that you must put a color gel underneath. Otherwise, they really are pretty transparent. So, you can see them in the first and second photo with no color gel underneath.After putting on the top coat and curing it, I always like to dip my finger into the chrome and rub it on my nail. Of course, you have to have freshly washed hands to do this. Otherwise oil from your fingertips will make itmsomthatmthe chrome doesn’t go on evenly.Doing it this way on natural nails is messy as you can see in the first photo but it is less messy and you use less product than if you use the brushes that are included. The main thing is to use a spoolie or something else that has a pretty sharp tip to remove the extra chrome that is in the nail bed, add a second top coat and cure. Then clean off the extra chrome that got on your skin. If you try to remove the extra chrome off your skin before you add the second top coat and cure, you can accidentally take the chrome off of your nails and have to start all over again.In the 3rd and forth photo, I used deep pinky/purplish press on nails instead of my natural nails to see the effect. Of course it was 10x easier to wipe it on with my finger and didn’t waste hardly any product. And I didn’t have to store an applicator full of chrome powder.But you can see that the result is just so lovely!So, I can’t fault the product for needing a color underneath. It has description photos showing how you are supposed to add a black color coat underneath. But I will give it less than 5 stars simply because adding a color coat underneath takes more effort.But I am excited to try having a different colored color coat underneath like yellow polish underneath purple chrome. It would give a more 3 dimensional effect!I looked all over Amazon for hours looking for the best deal with the best reviews and this one seemed to be the best bang for your buck at least right now as I’m writing this review. I find that prices go up with the better that the reviews are and here I am adding to the positive reviews!I’ll definitely be using this chrome a lot.

Value for money was great. color was very nice and I am happy with my purchase
