Hi guys! This video will show you how to do chrome nails WITHOUT gel.
1. Apply basecoat. Make sure it is COMPLETELY DRIED before moving on.
2. Apply desired base color. With chrome, it's common to see either black or pink as the base. With holographic, most people apply a black underneath, but you can also apply a regular silver holo underneath to make it even more metallic. Let it DRY COMPLETELY!
3. Apply a layer of stickey/tacky basecoat. Let it dry for 3 minutes.
4. Buff the powder onto the nail using a sponge or your finger. Silicon tools are a bit too tough for non-gel polishes. I prefer doing 2 layers of powder.
5. Apply clear elmer's glue. Let it dry for about 5 minutes.
6. Apply regular topcoat! Make sure to cap the free edge.

→ Freeman's peel off cucumber face mask → Silicon Nail Tool:
That's it! No need to pay $10-$20 for a water based topcoat / basecoat when clear elmer's glue is much cheaper (and has multiple uses!)
I need to stress this once again - THESE DO NOT LAST LONG. Because elmer's glue is water soluble, the nails will start to ship and fade within a couple of days!
In the long haul, if you want to wear chrome nails a lot, I recommend just buying a gel topcoat and lamp. That's what I've been doing.
