Aubergine
What It Does
TCG Chrome Powders create a smooth, mirror-like metallic finish with intense reflection and colour clarity.
When applied over TCG Chrome Base Coat, they produce a flawless chrome effect that resists dulling, fading, and chipping.
Suitable for use over both gel polish and enhancement surfaces, they deliver long-lasting shine when sealed correctly.

Application
- Apply TCG Chrome Powder.

 - Continue buffing until even coverage is achieved.
 - Remove excess powder.
 - Use a soft brush to gently remove loose particles from around the cuticle and free edge.
 - Seal the surface.
 - Apply a thin, even layer of TCG Stain Resistant Top Coat to seal the chrome layer.
 - Be sure to cap the free edge to prevent chipping.
 - Cure under LED for 60 seconds (or 2 minutes under UV).
 
Finishing
- Cool and cleanse.
 - Allow nails to cool for 30 seconds after curing.
 - If necessary, lightly cleanse to remove any remaining residue.
 - Apply TCG Cuticle Protector Oil or TCG Pineapple Cuticle Oil to nourish and finish.
 
Pro Tips
- Always apply chrome over TCG Chrome Base Coat — its non-tacky finish ensures perfect adhesion and maximum shine.
 - Avoid touching the nail before applying powder to prevent fingerprints.
 - Use small amounts of powder — a little goes a long way for full coverage.
 - Always seal with TCG Stain Resistant Top Coat to lock in the metallic finish and prevent dulling.
 - For best finish, buff the nail before TCG Base Coat.
 - Store powders away from light and moisture to preserve colour integrity.
