Recreate this glazed look at home

  1. Prep: push back cuticles, buff the shine off the nail plate and wipe with alcohol so the base coat grips.
  2. Shape: File the sides in a straight line toward the center and round the tip softly, like the top of an almond.
  3. Apply and cure a gel base coat.
  4. Paint one or two sheer coats of champagne so the nail still looks soft and milky.
  5. Seal with a no-wipe top coat, cured for about half the time.
  6. Buff in a pearl or white chrome powder very lightly — you want a glow, not a mirror.
  7. Finish with a glossy top coat for the "donut glaze" depth.
  8. Finish with cuticle oil once everything is dry.

Pro tip: Less powder is more: a single light pass gives the pearly glaze; heavy rubbing turns it into full chrome.

Champagne glazed nails: FAQ

What is the difference between glazed and chrome nails?

Both use chrome powder, but glazed nails use a pearl or white powder applied lightly over a sheer color, so they glow. Classic chrome uses more powder for a solid mirror finish.

Are almond nails strong?

They are stronger than stiletto because the tip is rounded, but the narrow tip is more fragile than square. Medium length with gel or builder gel is the sweet spot.

Does champagne nail polish suit my skin tone?

Pick a nude or pink one or two shades lighter or darker than your skin for a “your nails but better” look; add a warm hint on olive skin.
