Cool, icy, iridescent chrome for a luminous winter manicure. Glitterbels Pressed Aurora Powder in Icy Aurora is a professional chrome nail powder with a cool, iridescent aurora finish, a pale, silvery-blue shade with a dimensional light-shift that changes as the nail moves, quite different from a flat mirror silver. 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 a striking, icy, light-catching chrome effect.

What it does

Chrome powders are burnished over the nail to create a metallic, mirror-like finish, and the aurora ones add that dimensional, colour-shifting glow. Icy Aurora leans cool and iridescent, a pale silvery-blue that shimmers and shifts in the light, so it reads distinctly different from a flat, reflective mirror chrome. 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, icy chrome finish that really comes alive under directional light and in photos, perfect for winter and ice-themed looks.

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.

Who it's for

This one's for professional nail techs and confident home users who want a cool, icy, iridescent chrome effect, perfect for winter, Christmas, ice-themed and winter-wedding sets, and anyone who loves a luminous, cool-toned finish.

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.
