How to get pastel pink chrome french oval nails at home

Prep: push back cuticles, buff the shine off the nail plate and wipe with alcohol so the base coat grips.
Shape: File the sides straight, then round the tip evenly so it mirrors the shape of your cuticle.
Apply a sheer milky base and cure it.
Paint a thin French tip with no-wipe top coat only on the tips and under-cure it.
Rub pastel pink chrome powder onto the tips — it only sticks where the top coat is.
Clean the edges and seal the whole nail with top coat.
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.

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.

What is the difference between oval and almond nails?

Oval tips are evenly rounded; almond tips taper to a softer point. Oval is more natural and a bit stronger.

Does pastel pink 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.
