One can draw an invisible line between chrome modernism and stellar charm, but we say that these two merge perfectly. A subtle sheen of glazed nails decorated with gentle stars will reflect the magic of the world that wakes up at sunrise.

Pro tip- Chrome powder will look its best when applied over a clear or color base coat. The clear base will preserve the tints of the powder, while color coats will introduce a unique touch based on the shade you pick.

Stars on Nails sound as mesmerizing as they look, but we know how to take things even further. You can adorn each star center with a different gem. The twinkling gems will send rays of light every time you move a finger, and that is a perk not to treat lightly.

Expert advice - A salon manicure with gems usually lasts a lot longer than a home-made one. Thus, if you head for the salon for your next mani, you should expect it to last at least 2 weeks. A gel manicure is more durable, so it is advised to pair it with crystal nail art rather than crystalizing your natural manicure.
