Chrome is so unforgiving!!! Even when I think I have a perfectly smooth nail and top coat, the chrome "shows" me otherwise 🤦‍♀️ Thank you for these tips, Suzie!

[@whatofit9841]

I find most nail channels that I look for, I find it harder to follow or understand but you really shine through, its so easy to actually follow as I do my own set and the music too is relaxing haha. Thank you so much for this

Hey suzie! Could you please do long vid demonstrating opal nails!😍 that’d be so much fun to watch you do it and I know they’ll come out amazing🙏🏼🤍

[@amandajones8101]

Seconded! I’d love to see in depth opal nails…. My favorite.

I am only growing my nails (I have been a biter for 30 years), but videos like these help inspire me to stop. It has been 6 days now. I am now a new subscriber! Thanks for helping to break a bad habit!

[@NailCareerEducation]

Good for you!!!!!!

That's awesome! I was a biter until around my 20s, best wishes on your journey 🤗

WOW! I never knew that alcohol could interfere with the smoothness of the top coat/polish layer, thanks for sharing this, and thanks for all the great tips you always have for us. I love the chrome nail look💗flawless final look😍

You are the reason I started doing my own nails. Your videos never fail! Thank you!

Suzie, this was beyond helpful! I pots of chrome that I'd given up on till now! You're the best and I adore all of your products! Thanks again! ~Jen in Cali 😎💕

[@Gee-Glam]

Ms Suzie, thank you for taking time to explain. I was having terrible with my chrome being dull, not sticking and being bumpy. You addressed all my issues 🥰💅🏻

[@FNJ720]

Can chrome nails be done without lamps?

[@leslie2548]

@@FNJ720 I think Sparkle & Co. sell a product that does not require a lamp. I have not tried it but did see a video demo. I hope that helps.

[@teresedonahue3529]

I never heard about the reaction of the alcohol and the too coat before! Thank you!!

[@beachnorigional9793]

Me either

[@elizabethangel5019]

This was extremely helpful! I’ve been wanting to learn how to apply chrome correctly and these tips really helped out how to fix my boo-boos lol I also appreciate that you explained about the use of alcohol to wipe off the nail and what it can cause to the top coat. I had the same issue but now I know for next time. Love love your videos ❤

[@2u2a]

I even do the 15 sec, and rub it in as quickly as possible, this gives me the best results. And one nail at the time, so it is consistent throughout the whole set.

[@user-il7sq5dd8g]

You make everything look so easy. I love watching your videos. You are really good at showing and explaining. Thank you so much.

[@essababy]

Thank you so much for all the inspiration you have given e all of us over the years! You are absolutely amazing! On topic with Chrome, I have found that a 20sec cure is my sweet spot...it soooo shiny! Thanks again!!

[@VampyTN]

Thanks Suzie! 😁 I'm doing all my nails with a different color powder chrome today. I was expecting no less than to find a tutorial on your channel even though I read/watched video directions on KZbin. Have a Woundabah Wednesday! ❤ 🦋🌹🦋

[@mrs.s2398]

Thanks for explaining! So many Chrome tutorials that don’t tell that. And that info makes a huge difference!

[@deeh5126]

You saying "top coat" is giving me flashbacks to Cristine's "taco"😂 You are a wealth of knowledge! Thank you for teaching us!!!!!

[@NailCareerEducation]

All right, I’ve almost said Taco a few times, once I did, we had to cut it out

[@GhoulScoutCookie]

Just used chrome powder for the first time. Had to go back to your story to see how to use. 🙏 They're shiny but not as shiny as yours. So maybe I didn't cure long enough. Thankful for this video 😁 I need more fingers! I ordered your clear glass, some chrome powders, pressed flowers, gems. So many designs so little fingers! 😄

[@walterwinterberg3652]

Best & most detailed tutorial I see about that theme !

[@AriesAtThree]

Unfortunately I came across your most informative video after I've gone through countless times of experimenting ("hey, let's try it this way."). I learned a lot from your vid. Thx so much. 😊

[@silvercierra9310]

THIS is what I was looking for! Other info chrome vids have NOT explained in detail like you! Thank you 💘 SUBSCRIBED

[@Gogo-ju6qx]

Hi Suzie, I'm a guy who was just searching for your standard "chrome" nail polish and I happened to come across your video. I have for years, always maintained and manicured my own nails, but I had no idea the type of product you educate in even existed! So obviously, I'm new to chrome powders, but very interested! Your tutorial is really fantastic! You are supremely talented in your art and it is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for the information and knowledge you share. Now I just have to decide if I want to invest in a UV lamp and a dremel. I'd really love to try my hand(s) at it. I've subscibed to your channel, just in case. ;)

[@NailCareerEducation]

Yes a lamp but stay away from a Dremel- that’s meant in a metal workshop not for nails

[@sharnamajor]

You did this video with such speed after your short! Thank you 😍

YESSSSS IVE NEEDED THIS VIDEO FOR SOOOOO LONG

[@stephpavone]

This was very helpful. Maybe that’s why chrome French is so popular by me…you don’t have to deal with the cuticle chrome crusties 😂

[@NailCareerEducation]

Good point - a French Krome is beautiful, however

[@crownofhair]

I usually go with the French tip for chrome, too. I love how it has an elongating effect.

[@yolandaarocha6067]

Do you have a photo?

[@dgirllamius____x]

I have so many chrome powders that don't stick, wasn't sure if it was because it was a rubbish powder or a rubbish top coat 🤣 will try this out when I do my nails next ❤️

Thank you! I got one of those powders at the store the other day and I am obsessed! I want all variations possible now :)

[@NailCareerEducation]

They are amazing

[@yerma6149]

Hi, do you maybe know if you can ist the powder on natural nails of only on gel/acrylic nails?😊

[@thedandynails]

@yerma6149 I use on my natural nails. The only issue I saw is that regular top coat affects the finish. From the tests I did, only gel top coat preserves the chrome effect well. But you can use it! Some folks even use eyeshadow, but I never tried it :) I plan to make a video about that top coat issue soon, but user TinyFingers.nailart already has one about it.

[@KathyMcDowell1]

Lovely educational vid🥰

Thank you for all the great info and beautiful nails. Hope the class goes great wish I could be there but just a DIY. Love watching and learning from you in your videos. 💜💜💜🤗

Ill try that

[@miniscenesgb]

Great video thank you

[@prishaganeriwal3910]

Hey Suzie ! Could you please tell if we can use any top coat before applying chrome powder?

[@visanti9852]

Dear Suzie, I love your tutorials and learned several things form you and I m grateful. ONE SOS HELP PLS: on Christmas I had my nails done by a salon (I did a permanent gel) and after having them removed I realized they are EXTREMELY THIN and fragile. They gave me a THERAPY from a well known brand but NO RESCUE.. even now they are at this same BAD CONDITION. -->What do you suggest I do? 🙏🏼 thank you

[@NailCareerEducation]

If you had them done about Christmas time and then had them removed there after when they removed them, it sounds like they took off too much of your natural nail, which has caused them to be thin and now they’re probably a little bit sore or tender. Of course you could put more product on it to protect them, but it won’t improve them. The only thing that’s going to make them better is to let them completely grow out. Nails take about 3 to 6 months to grow out from your cuticle the free edge. And there’s only depends on the length of your nail bed and how naturally fast or slow they grow. so rest assured, give it a couple more months and they’ll be feeling a lot better

[@jennglow4647]

Very pretty 😃

[@differenttakethanmost]

You probably hear this a lot, but you remind me so much of Valerie Bertinelli Love your channel

[@NailCareerEducation]

Yes! Thank you though. Since her sitcom back in the 70s people have told me that Honestly I don’t look like her as much as I did when I was 14 till about 30 ish

[@raree25]

BEAUTIFUL

[@stephaniescofield9433]

Good to know! Thanks so much. Off you only want chrome on certain places, how do you prevent from getting everywhere else?

[@nellyfast542]

Hey Suzie. Thanks for another great video. I have a question though, you mentioned that it’s important to have a duster to dust the chrome off. But how would you sanitize it? Or could you use the solution that is used to sanitize the other implements.

[@NailCareerEducation]

You could spray with Alcohol. We must be sensitive to sanitation but with in reasonable boundaries. Our hands and clients hands should be washed before we sit in the chairs. Then we spray with alcohol. So when you use a duster it’s being used the surface is clean. So keep a few dusters and spray with alcohol with time to dry.

[@turaklepfer6835]

Love your nails your videos. How do you find an experienced nail tech that wont ruin your nails

[@ruby4962]

Thank you for the video. What kind of drill is that?

[@skymilan5]

Hi! I’d like to avoid the extra $20 for chrome at the nail salon and just do it at home. Do you suggest I start with alcohol over the nail salons top coat to get the oils off and then go in with my chrome layer? Or should I put another top coat on top of the nail salons top coat?

[@beautifullyremastered2073]

What do you recommend for a decent e-file that won't break the bank? Just started watching you again and doing my nails again and I'm looking for a good e-file.

[@younailedit]

It must feel amazing to have the same designs on both hands 😂❤

[@Ruby-gq5pr]

[@shantelledarwin8287]

Hey suzie! I was wondering if you could do a video on "aquarium" nails? I've watched jst about all your videos and have never seen you do it before. And is it safe? Since there's water/ oil sitting in the nail. Thanks!!!

[@morgenmachen2400]

Hey Suzie! How long is the cure for the NCE topcoat under LED? Thank you so much!

[@rothy4]

I've never used non-wipe top coats for chrome nails. They work perfectly with regular top coats, you just have to wipe the sticky layer off before applying the chrome powder.

[@NailCareerEducation]

Oh yes that’ll work

[@yolandaarocha6067]

Wipe the sticky layer off?.so you apply the top coat an then

[@rothy4]

@@yolandaarocha6067 Yes, you apply the top coat, cure it, wipe the sticky layer off with alcohol or cleanser and then apply the chrome. Every video I see on chrome says it only works with a non-wipe top coat.. when it works with a basic top coat as well, you just have to wipe it.

[@91frankthetank]

I have noticed that chrome only works with very specific brands of top coat. I had to buy IBD INTENSE SEAL. Ever since I started using this top coat with chrome I don't have any issues. Cure completely. Burnish the chrome. And top with whatever top coat.

[@heatherjenks7089]

Can you do a chrome with regular polish? I’m allergic to gel polish

[@DianaHybrid]

Thank you

[@christineolivier887]

Good Day, I kindly want to ask can glaze work with chrome? Or can you only use the topcoat that says non wipe.

[@sandimiller2566]

Even with dusting well, chrome gets on my top coat brush, and contaminates the bottle. I’ve tried wiping the brush between nails, but that doesn’t get it all. Any tips to avoid this?

[@pennygoesfishing]

I love it

[@plvt0n1vm]

Could i do this with a no-wipe color? I have a no-wipe black that would be perfect as a base color.

[@_vrocks]

At my salon, we use a non wipe top coat and if it doesn’t stick we swipe a bit of acetone over the nail (not too much because then your pad will start sticking to it) and then it works!

[@yolandaarocha6067]

Do you dont cure it?

[@_vrocks]

@@yolandaarocha6067 sorry, I realize now how that sounded. So what we do is, we apply non-wipe top coat, fully cure it, then use a little acetone on a sponge and rub it in, apply chrome, top coat again and cure.

[@lifeofgalina8675]

Can we use one of the manual files if we don’t have a purple file you use with the E-file?

[@buttahp]

Suzie what about chipping? Does that mean the top cost was not applied properly?

[@andreao3258]

Can chrome ever be done on dip nails? If so, does that mean a gel topcoat is needed? P.S., I just love your videos! I'm not a nail tech. I just find them soothing to watch :)

[@ShipFantastic]

Yes you can do over dip! You do need a non wipe topcoat to get the chrome to stick but you can put it on top of dip.

[@mandivandenberg6677]

Hi Suzie. Quick question; if the chrome covers the entire nail, what does the top coat adhere to? I always thought all layers needed a sticky layer to attach to.

[@NailCareerEducation]

This why sometimes some will lift cause it doesn’t adhere - but try a thin layer and a good quality top coat

[@NaderiaPlays]

Would have LOOOVED to take this class but I don't live in Canada :'(

[@NailCareerEducation]

It’s ok - it’s open to Everyone from Everywhere 🧡

[@ShaBlessed4L]

Is only Gel top coat what we should be using? I’ve been using the top coat that comes with my dip powder and failing every time 😭

[@kaligerber2470]

Hey Suzie! I noticed you used the gold bit on your cuticles, but your website says to not use it on natural nails. Is there another small bit option you recommend for those of us who don't use acrylics?

[@NailCareerEducation]

These nails are fake So I use this bit around the cuticle on fake nails For natural nails look for Diamond dust bits
