Let me start by saying – WOW, these colors are STUNNING. The 32-piece set includes everything from holographic rainbows to molten metals that make your nails look like tiny mirrors. When applied correctly (black polish base + no-wipe top coat trick!), the transformation is magical. I felt like a DIY nail tech superstar creating salon-worthy chrome French tips in my pajamas.

BUT here’s the tea ☕ – this powder is MESSY AF. My first attempt ended with glitter explosions all over my bathroom (RIP white towels). The ultra-fine texture means it shifts if you breathe wrong. Pro tip: Do this over a baking sheet and wear gloves unless you want to sparkle like a Twilight vampire for days.

Quality varies wildly by color. The rose gold? Perfection – one swipe gives intense metallic payoff. The silver holographic? Patchy disaster that crumbled off during application. Through trial and error, I discovered darker metallics perform best while pastels require serious patience.

The included eyeshadow applicators are cute but useless – invest in a silicone makeup sponge for smoother application. Also, that "no top coat needed" claim? Lies. Without sealing, the chrome rubs off by lunchtime. My holy grail combo: black gel base > cure > no-wipe top coat > IMMEDIATELY rub powder > final glossy top coat.

Final verdict? For $20, it’s fun for experimenting with trendy chrome looks at home, but temper expectations. About 60% of colors deliver salon-quality results if you master the technique (and cleanup routine). Not for perfectionists or clean freaks, but a budget-friendly playground for nail art addicts!
