Professional Chrome Powder for Mirror, Pearl & Color-Shift Nails
Tones Chrome Powders give nail technicians the finish options clients ask for: high-shine mirror chrome, soft pearl effects, translucent color overlays, and dramatic chameleon shifts. The collection is built for controlled application over a cured gel system, with ultra-fine pigments that buff into a reflective finish and seal under top coat.
Find Your Chrome Finish
- Mirror chrome creates a bold liquid-metal look in classic metallic shades.
- Pearl chrome gives a softer, luminous finish for glazed and neutral sets.
- Translucent chrome changes with the gel color underneath for layered, custom effects.
- Chameleon chrome shifts between tones as the nail moves in the light.
How to Apply Chrome Powder
- Complete the gel color and cure according to product directions.
- Use the appropriate cured top-coat surface for the chrome product.
- Buff a small amount of powder evenly with a silicone tool or applicator.
- Remove loose pigment, seal the free edge, and finish with gel top coat.
For a reliable system, pair chrome effects with gel polish, gel top coat, and a compatible UV/LED nail lamp.
