While your mirror nails can never really replace the need for a mirror, it does have the modern sheen the you will want to wear for weeks. They are shimmery, they are sparkly, and they are just about everything a nail-polish fanatic could ask for. Besides the great long-lasting base, these chrome nails feature a metallic powder that you apply over the polish with a sponge.

A video of the trend shows a manicurist wiping highly pigmented silver powder across a nail, with a black gel base coat, until the nail begins to reflect light. She uses rhinestones but also tiny metal charms and circles that she loops around the string which she then places on the nail using tweezers.
