Glazed Donut Nails Step by Step

The pearly chrome nails that made chrome mainstream: a sheer base with a soft, luminous shine.

What you need

A lamp, sheer pink or milky white gel color, a no-wipe gel top coat, white pearl chrome powder and a silicone tool.

Step 1: Sheer base, then cure

Apply a sheer pink or milky white gel color and cure.

Step 2: No-wipe top coat

Apply a no-wipe gel top coat and cure. Chrome powder only sticks to this cured layer.

Step 3: Buff in pearl chrome

Buff a white pearl chrome powder over the nail with a silicone tool until it glows.

Step 4: Brush off and seal

Brush away excess powder, seal with top coat and cure. Cover the edges so the chrome doesn't peel.
