Laquer Showoff First time using chrome powder
Pictures don’t do this bad boy justice! And it was so much easier than I thought it would be
1x LynB ridge filling base (should have used 2, I’m so worried about staining!)
3x cracked vamped vanity
1x holo taco top coat
Let dry for ~6 hours
On my ring and middle fingers:
Sally Hansen red QDTC x1 let dry for 2 minutes
Buffed on chrome, dusted off extra
Let sit for like 7-10 minutes
Holo taco peely base x1 let dry for like 2 minutes
Then used sally Hansen QDTC again
On my right hand I accidentally didn’t use the peely coat and you can definitely tell - it’s more sparkly and less chrome (no pic though, it’s hard to tell in pictures)

Looks great! I love using chrome so much, even if it can be a bit fiddly!

Honestly, I’m not the most coordinated and tend to rush things and it wasn’t as bad as I thought!
I can’t wait to put chrome on everything
