Bold, dimensional chrome for a real statement manicure. Glitterbels Pressed Aurora Powder in Bad B*tch Aurora is a professional chrome nail powder with a striking aurora finish, a colour-shifting, dimensional glow that catches the light beautifully. It comes in a pressed format (a compacted pigment puck) rather than loose, which makes it easier and more controlled to apply and generates far less airborne dust. Buffed over a cured gel manicure and sealed, it delivers an eye-catching, mirror-like aurora chrome effect. One of the shades in Glitterbels' Chrome Crazy Powders range.

What it does

Chrome powders are burnished over the nail to create a metallic, mirror-like finish, and aurora chromes add a dimensional, colour-shifting glow that changes as the nail moves in the light. The pressed format is the practical bit: because the pigment is compacted into a puck rather than loose, it's easier to pick up on a silicone applicator, more controlled to place, and much less messy and dusty than loose powders. The result is a smooth, intense, statement chrome finish that really stands out, especially under direct or directional light.

How to use it

Complete your gel manicure through the coloured gel stage and cure. Apply a coat of tack-free (no-wipe) top coat and cure fully, the tack-free surface is essential, as the powder needs to bond to it rather than smear. Press a silicone applicator onto the pressed puck to pick up product, then press and burnish it firmly and evenly across the cured top coat, repeating to build full coverage. Buff away any excess with a clean silicone tool, then seal with a final coat of top coat and cure, sealing is essential, or the chrome will rub off. Follow the instructions for your gel system and lamp.

For professional or experienced use. Chrome pigments are a fine particulate, the pressed format produces less airborne dust than loose powders, but still work in a well-ventilated area and keep it away from the eyes and mouth. Apply only over a fully-cured, tack-free top coat for proper adhesion, and seal with top coat, unsealed chrome rubs off quickly. Acetone (for soaking off the gel underneath) is highly flammable, so keep it away from heat and flames. Keep out of reach of children.
