Glitterbels Aurora Powder My Little Unicorn 0.5g

• Glitterbels Aurora Powder in My Little Unicorn, 0.5g
• Loose chromatic pigment powder for use over gel or acrylic
• Part of the Glitterbels Chrome Crazy Powders range
• Available in pressed, loose (powder) and flake formats across the range

Glitterbels Aurora Powder in My Little Unicorn is a loose chromatic pigment powder designed to be applied over a cured gel or acrylic base for chrome, mirror and pearl-shift finishes. Different format to the Aurora Flakes in the same range — where flakes give a textured, accent-style dimensional finish, powders are the format for full-nail chrome coverage and smoother, more mirror-like finishes. Part of the wider Glitterbels Chrome Crazy Powders range, which spans 27 shades across pressed, loose (powder) and flake formats. 0.5g is a small nail-art pot size but goes much further than it looks — powder chromes need only a tiny amount per nail, applied with a chrome applicator or silicone tool. My Little Unicorn as a name suggests a pearlescent iridescent unicorn-themed shade, likely in the pink/purple/holographic direction, though worth checking a swatch to confirm.

How to use

Prep the nail as usual and apply your base gel or acrylic colour, curing per your usual routine. Apply a layer of no-wipe top coat and cure. While the top coat is fully cured (chrome powders work best over a fully-cured tack-free surface, unlike flakes which apply to a tacky surface), pick up a small amount of powder with a chrome applicator or silicone tool and rub it firmly into the cured top coat until you get the chrome or mirror finish you want. Brush off any excess powder. Seal with a final top coat and cure — the sealing step is important with chrome powders, unsealed powder rubs off easily. Chrome powders traditionally work best over a black or dark base for the strongest chrome effect, though pearlescent unicorn shades like this one may work equally well over a pale or holographic base.

Who it's for

This powder is for nail techs and confident home users doing chrome or mirror-finish full-nail work. We've spent years helping clients in Codsall look and feel their best, and as a working salon, we know unicorn and pearlescent chromes are a proper category in the chrome-powder world — popular for statement sets, holiday nails, festival looks and prom/coming-of-age events. Different application technique from the flake format, so worth being clear on the powder-vs-flake distinction if buying multiple formats from the Chrome Crazy Powders range.
