How to do chrome nails

Although you might not be a nail tech, you can still create the chrome nails of your dreams at home. According to Glamour, to get chrome nails, all you have to do is rub a “powder made of fine metals, glass and pigment over your nail polish, using a soft and spongey eyeshadow brush, until a holographic effect occurs.” You can pretty much select any colour of powder you want, and the varnish used will give off that shiny, metallic effect that makes chrome nails stand out.
