Chrome Pigments
Chrome pigments are pigments that give the nail a beautiful mirror-like effect. You can use any color as a base to achieve a different effect each time.
Usage:
Finish the nail as usual and top it off with a No-Wipe Topoat.
- Ensure there are no dust particles in your polish, as these will affect the pigment's shine.
- Cure the Topcoat for 1 minute in a UV lamp or 30 seconds in an LED lamp.
- Rub the pigment into the Topcoat using a Chromer or a silicone tool.
- Rub thoroughly until all loose powder is removed.
- Fix the pigment for 1 minute in a UV lamp or 30 seconds in an LED lamp.
- Apply a layer of Natural Base to protect the pigment, paying attention to the tips!
You can also use Build-A-Base Clear or Rubber Ducky, but make sure you apply it very thinly.
- Finish the nail with a Topcoat and cure.
Collaboration with Your Client is Essential
As a nail technician, we always do our utmost to ensure that Nail Art designs remain perfect until the next touch-up. With pigments, it's very important to advise clients to handle their nails with extra care to prevent chipping at the free edge.
A good tip is to recommend wearing gloves for household chores or tasks where the hands are used intensively.
