How to achieve a mirror effect on your nails?

Metal Maix® Multi Chrome is a very fine powder in a colour of warm silver. It is a very efficient product. Some of our clients claim it will last you a lifetime:).  
 
We'll show you three ways to achieve that perfect mirror surface: 
 
Using Arte Brillante Gels 
 
Applying Multi Chrome on our highly pigmented Arte Brillante Gels will get you the most spectacular mirror effect. Arte Brillante gels don't have a dispersion layer that's why after curing Metal Manix® rubs on perfectly with an applicator.  
 
Application on Gel Brush 
 
Maybe you're a fan of gel colours in a brush? No problem! Put a coat of Dry Top or Shine on top coat on cured gel. After it hardens, rub Multi Chrome and secure it with a double layer of shining top coat Dry top or Wet Look
 
Application on hybrid nails 
 
Our novelty powder can also be applied on gel polish. Just keep in mind to use top coat without dispersive layer like Dry Top. It needs to be applied carefully and precisely, especially around the cuticle area.  
 
After curing it we apply Metal Manix® Multi Chrome. If you'd like a multi-tone look all it takes is just a little bit of powder on an applicator.

  4. Remove any excess from the nail with a soft brush.
