Chameleon Chrome Nail Powder - 8 Box Set of Mirror Glitter Pigment for Gel Nails | Shiny Metallic Nail Art Supplies | Perfect for Salon, DIY Manicures & Special Occasion Nail Designs

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.
