A closer look at Selena Gomez's nails
Let's first understand chrome nails
The chrome nails are a high-shine and reflective nail finish that resemble the surface of a mirror or polished metal. This trend involves applying a special type of nail powder or nail polish that results in a dazzling, reflective, and ultra-glossy appearance on the nails. Chrome nails come in a variety of metallic shades, including silver, gold, rose gold, and other darker shades.
Fire chrome trend
Fire chrome combines the characteristics of a "fire engine, candy apple, and red satin." Chrome is a style that goes through phases, and right now, "fire chrome" is the one. This trend adds heat to your manicure, giving away a chrome shine and polish. It is perfect for those who want to make a statement with their nail aesthetics.
How to apply
Apply your gel color in apple red. Cure the gel polish under a UV or LED lamp to set it. Put on a single-coat of no-wipe top coat and cure it. Apply your preferred chrome powder now, covering the nail, gloved finger, or silicone applicator tool. Dust off any extra powder gently. Apply another top coat, and you are done!
Try different variations
This trend takes inspiration from the iridescent colors of flames, capturing the essence of fire and translating it onto your nails. Embrace the classic version of a fiery, reflective effect by choosing warm-toned chrome powders like red, orange, or gold. You could also create an ombre effect by blending two or more chrome powder colors, resembling a gradient of flames.
