WHITE CHROME NAILS – Iridescent Opal Nail Art
These nails were totally inspired by the infamous iridescent white stick on nails that were always popping up on nail groups on Facebook! They continue to forever be the “Holy Grail” of nail art!

Using pastel shades, begin by applying a pale blue to the centre in a thick line using a striping brush (UK / US), do not cure.

Apply pastel lilac either side of the blue, followed by pastel pink and pastel yellow. Do not cure the pastel colours yet.

Using a clean dry striping brush (UK / US) , feather the colours together where they meet to create a soft pastel rainbow gradient, then cure.

Using a flat edged silicone tool (UK / US) , firmly rub a unicorn dust/powder (UK/US) into the surface of the nail. Continue until the whole nail is covered, not patchy & has a mirror shine.

Apply a regular hard wearing top coat. You may want to apply 2 layers and cap the ends thoroughly to avoid chipping.
