Recreate this chrome french 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 straight across the top, then soften the two corners with one light stroke so they don’t snag.
  3. Apply a sheer milky base and cure it.
  4. Paint a thin French tip with no-wipe top coat only on the tips and under-cure it.
  5. Rub olive green chrome powder onto the tips — it only sticks where the top coat is.
  6. Clean the edges and seal the whole nail with top coat.
  7. A drop of cuticle oil at the end makes the photo-ready difference.

Pro tip: Because the powder sticks only to the tacky tip, you get a crisp metallic line without painting color.

Olive green chrome french nails: FAQ

How do you make chrome French tips?

Paint only the tip with no-wipe top coat, under-cure it, then rub chrome powder onto it. The powder won’t stick to the cured nude part.

Are square nails good for short nails?

Yes — square is the strongest shape for short nails. Softly rounded corners (squoval) keep it from catching on fabric.

Does olive green nail polish suit my skin tone?

Olive and forest greens suit warm and olive undertones especially well; sage and mint soften cooler skin.
