How To Candy Wrapper Nails | Iridescent Chrome | Japanese Gel Manicure

It’s nail day! The day I get to treat myself to 4-6 hours of doing my nails while catching up on podcasts or other self-development listens. Yes, a lot of hours, but I certainly look at this day as me-time, and the nails last indefinitely… usually when it’s time to do them again. (Anywhere from 4-7 weeks!)

On the menu today? Iridescent Chrome Textured Nails or “Candy Wrapper Nails” for short :p. Crazy enough, these nails scream texture but actually finish smooth to the touch.

How do iridescent chrome nails work? You create a base for your nail and then create the art on top. To get the chrome pigment to burnish properly on the gel, you have to use a specific burnishing gel. Today, I will use the Kokoist Non-Wipe Accessory Bond, which will work for both the texture and burnishing property we need.

Alright, when you’re ready hit play!
