You need more of the aurora type of chrome!! You used the metallic type that looks best on a black base like some others already mentioned 😊 the aurora chrome powders are more sheer looking and give the tint look. You could still get a lavender colored metallic chrome and it would look amazing, you just have to swatch it and test it out first bc with most chrome powders it’s kinda hard to tell what it’ll actually look like just from the pot
You needed, as someone mentioned, a white chrome as in donut glaze powder or specifically an "aurora" chrome. Also, those are the white powders that you apply for iridescent chromes and the base color will shine through. The powders that are pastel colored work great too. 😊
You’re welcome! You can also put the chrome over any regular polish as long as it’s still *slightly* tacky (I’ve experimented a lot with chrome powders trying to avoid gel). Nothing beats the finish with gel but it just sucks to remove.
I’ve been growing mine with you! It’s been 1 whole month since I decided to resist the urge not to bite them. I’m still filing them and shaping ofc. I can’t have nail polish for work so I’ve been doing clear gel top coat to keep something on them and I love it! Eeeeeeee!!!
It didin't turn out lavender because you didin't use the right crome,there are 2 tipes of crome(I think) the tipe of crome you used looks best on black nail polish, but they turned out amazing❤
you need a white chrome or an aurora chrome. You also need to put a water based top coat before you seal it in (you can use UNT peel off base coat as a water based top coat if you can't find anything else).
I read somewhere that when you use a water-based topcoat it keeps the chrome looking like chrome? (If that makes sense) Basically, it doesn't end up looking sparkly, and a comment down below explained that there are two types of chrome powders which is true ( there might be more I think?) , there are mirror chromes (they end up covering the base colour, so it doesn't come through and they look like mirrors) and there are the "aurora" chrome powders and sheer chrome powders ( which actually show the base colour more ) ❤
i love your videos and thanks for being so helpful for growing out my nails!!! even though your nails are short they are still so beautiful and your cuticles are immaculate
Here is a tip for chrom nail! You need a layer of clear nail polish on that lavender theeeen put chrome on that. Also you bought silver chrome not clear mirror chrome 😊
WOW ‼️ I’ve been keeping up with this nail series since I missed the last one. I’m still wondering how you grow out your nails so quickly? My nails are still nubs.

aw tysm, I really try to take care of them! I apply lotion daily as well as cuticle oil, and slather them up before bed so they get nice and hydrated overnight. I plan on doing a whole video about it, but some of my favorites are: - Olive and June serums (for lightweight hydration during the day) oliveandjune.com/products/the-serum-set?_pos=3&_sid=4bb2ecfbb&_ss=r - Cera Ve lotion for overnight: amzn.to/3XmXZlI - Cuticle oil (massage it in!) hellohint.co or amzn.to/3xfNFBy
Could you do a video of you combining the prices of all your different nail products and and showing the total I think it would be really interesting❤❤❤ btw I love your vids
Nice video, yes an opi Ruby or purple chrome powder would give you the more purple look, looks like you did a Holo powder, but can't tell exactly. You said in the beginning of the video that round nails are stronger than square nails and that's known universally??? Well, actually no, square nails,(timeless nail shape) is one of the strongest nail shapes because it respects the full width of the nail, a square shape nail can withstand bumps and stress much better than their curved or rounded counterparts.
I have a hard time caring for my own nails because of how soft the are. Can you list all the products you used through the nail care part? What is the black spray bottle? Thank you ☺️
I am really weird when it comes to nail shapes because I’m very picky about it. I’ve had my ring, middle and pinky finger square shaped for as long as I can remember and my pointer and thumb a bit more of an almond shape. I don’t know when I start doing this but now whenever I have a shape different feels so awkward

i literally just did the same thing - removed the old rubber base layers and shortened my nails, currently have a square shape too but it was like that before, and one nail broke off just 1 day after i redid them 😭😭 curse you square 😭
Hello! I have a question. How long do your nails take to grow out to your desired length? And what tips and tricks do you have to maintain your length. Your nails are gorgeous short or long, and I hope you have a nice summer!
I have been on the process of growing out my nails after biting them for most of my life. My biggest struggle is how low the free edge starts - there's just more room where the nail is not tightly structured to my finger, more room for the nails to get caught on things and break. So, while I know a rounded shape would be better for growing them past my fingertips, for the nails that grow in straight, I cannot ever shape them rounded because they always break before gaining enough length to shape them. I'm not sure what to do :/
I'm always so shook when people call those nails "short". Like, I can't grow my nails any longer than that! They peel way too much! So they would feel SO long!
I always have squavale nails (square but slightly round corners) and the breakage is so bad! Now my nails are no shape because the layers are coming off two months and they're not getting any better I miss my nails
Now ik why my nails break so easily,but the only problem is i cant paint my nails (cause of my religion) But changongy nail shape is an amazing idea 💡 Thx
my nails dont grow that quick and even if they grow long they usually break so easily so i js cut them off what can i do to stop this happening ? i would like u to reply
I cut my nails into square a few months ago and I haven’t gone back 🤭 I actually love it so much, and honestly I don’t really get chips very often so they’re goin strong! 🫶🏻🪻
You need a white chrome powder! It is more sheer so the lavender will show through more :)
yeah I think I grabbed the wrong one! 😭 definitely going to redo this so I can have an actual tutorial for yall lol
❤❤❤❤
That’s such a pretty color on you!❤
Oh thank you! I need to try this again bc I love the lavender
@@thegraytergood ooo I bet lavender looks nice for the summer!

FYI- You have to use a water based top-coat to seal in the chrome whenever it’s over top of regular polish. Maniology has 2 that work great!
Ooooo thank you! I didn’t do that but will definitely do it next time 🫡
You’re welcome! You can also put the chrome over any regular polish as long as it’s still *slightly* tacky (I’ve experimented a lot with chrome powders trying to avoid gel). Nothing beats the finish with gel but it just sucks to remove.
Dip nails would be so pretty!!
The reason why the chrome turned the polish silver chrome but you need to use a pearl chrome. Still so pretty ❤❤
I love the pride and prejudice reference😂
Anytime I can add in a Jane Austen reference I will 🤭

ah that makes me so happy, thank you so much 🥰💙 and ty, cuticle oil daily and the O&J cuticle remover have worked wonders
Natural square nails are my favorite
You’ve gotta try Essie nail art studio chrome polish 👌👌👌 it goes on so easily and doesn’t hide the base colour like powders sometimes do
Ooooo thank you, adding to cart rn!!
They are so pretty and I'm trying to break out of my nail biting problem so I'm excited to grow my nails with u ❤
you’ve got this 🫶🏻✨💜 it’s hard to break the habit but if I can do it you can too

You hand freckles are Soo adorable
its probs coz she uses so much uv light to cure her nails
hehe u need to use the brush given with the chrome nail and apply not so much powder lolol
u can use the magic eraser foam thingy its not bad :D
They are looking so cute 💖
Love the shiny hehehe
Im obsessed with ur nails
That color is so pretty and also I love your videos!😊
tysm, that really means a lot!
Just use the more sheer chrome, in just white, instead of silver. And you don’t need much chrome at all to cover the nail. 😊❤
Omgg bestiee!! Can u please test the stardust liquid nail powder from le mini macaron!??
Yes omg I actually just got that in the mail, planning on doing a test next week if I can!! 🥰🥰🥰

GURL UR NOT IN THIS ALONE IM WITH U … may the force be with u 😂
You should try nail gems they would look really cute
Lavender would have been adorable, but this is still cute
can you do some tips on keeping your nails clean, when i grow out my nails i feel like they look really ugly and nasty but on you they look flawless?
Could you make a video detailing how you clean under your nails if you haven't already? Thank you
The background music 😢 rip cala❤️😭
Maybe a transparent purple over the chrome would work?
Can you please show how you keep your nails so nice ❤
Omg how do you grow your nails so long and what do you use to keep them healthy?
I love your videos!
"Besides the broken corner on the other hand, we don't talk about that" SO RELATABLE
Hi, first off how often do you take off your rubber base gel? And do u put normal polish on top of it? Also can u show how u remove it?
Nail care routine video tutorial please😅💅
Can you do Donut - nails???
Please

I cut my nails yesterday to about that length then filed them down square yesterday! What a coincidence! LOL 😅🧡
Try it with a lot less Chrome like barely stick the brush in
Oooooo is that what I did wrong?? Definitely need to do some more tests before I film an actual tutorial 🥲😅
Could you please do a video on how you remove rubber base without wrecking your nails with stuff like acetone
This may be off topic but you should try and do an hibiscus 🌺 flower on your nails
we have such similar nails.
ok your hands are so pretty!!!! also what do you do for your cuticles cause mine are all cracked and look like dry skin
aw tysm, I really try to take care of them! I apply lotion daily as well as cuticle oil, and slather them up before bed so they get nice and hydrated overnight. I plan on doing a whole video about it, but some of my favorites are:

I sent you a video showing that hack! I’ve been waiting to see when you would do the video!!! 💜💜💜
Can you do chrome on normal nail polish? I always thought it has to be done on gel nails only.
Could you do a video of you combining the prices of all your different nail products and and showing the total I think it would be really interesting❤❤❤ btw I love your vids
Cute ❤
glad y’all like them anyways;)
Moroccan people have been summoned❤
Asking for a friend here: Is cuticle remover okay for your nails? I thought your cuticle was necessary for healthy nails
Yes naturally I have square nails but they are create problem for me so I always shave in almond and it's became stronger
