Silver Skynet

Silver chrome nails always make me think of the T-1000 terminator from Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

I received this silver chrome powder from Born Pretty Store in exchange for an honest review. The chrome powder comes in FIFTEEN different colors in 9 gram pots, and the applicator is included. This review is of color #10, which is one of two silvers. I have tried other silver chrome powders and polishes, and this is by far the chrome-iest. The mirror finish is so reflective and shiny, it was difficult to get a good photo without some sort of reflection of my camera/hand/etc. The powder has great coverage and a little goes a long way. And most importantly, it keeps its shine after the application of gel top coat.

I was debating whether to add some nail art over the chrome, but the chrome looks so great by itself, so I left it alone. To create this look:

1. Apply a black base color.
2. Apply a layer of no-wipe gel top coat, and cure. You want the surface to be as smooth as possible because any imperfections are going to show with the chrome.
3. Use the sponge applicator to rub the chrome powder on each nail, and dust off any extra powder particles.
   
4. Seal with gel top coat.
