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 straight, then round the tip evenly so it mirrors the shape of your cuticle.
  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.

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 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.
