showcase January 2017 34 www.womanthismonth.com Having chrome nails is one of the coolest polish trends at the moment. And if you're not already obsessed with it, you're about to be! JOZ SALON & SPA GOING FOR CHROME Super metallic and foiled-finish nail varnishes have always been pretty drool-worthy. But this chromed-out manicure takes that mirrored, high-shine finish to the next level. Of course, achieving it is not as simple or as quick as a typical, metallic mani. There are quite a few steps, and a lot of curing that needs to happen for chrome nails to look their best. While you could totally still achieve the look with the right tools, if you don't have all of the ingredients, aren't much of a doit-yourself type or simply don't fancy having to clean up a lot of sparkly powder, you're probably better off visiting Joz Salon & Spa, where the nail technician can buff up your nails for you. You will need the base colour of your choice, a gel top coat, a nail lamp, loose chrome powder and a sponge-tip applicator. The coolest part about this manicure is that the chrome is rubbed onto your nails — it's not actually a polish. While silver over black is the classic chrome manicure, there are tons of variations on this look. It all depends on your base and powder colour. Take a look at some of these options that will convince you never to have unmirrored tips again. This crazy mirror powder is ‘rubbed’ onto cured gel polish and sealed with a topcoat to create nails you can literally check your reflection in. Although silver seems to be the most popular shade, chrome nails come in every colour of the rainbow, from the super-shiny Barbie pink and the rosy coral hues, to the delightful 24K foil nails. And while this type of manicure is usually done on acrylics, natural nails are by no means excluded from the ‘Terminator 2’ look. For those obsessed with everything shiny, these mirrorlike tips speak on a visceral level, and you can't get enough of watching the nail artists apply the powder. So, visit your manicurist now to get a flawless shine. Call 17 369-133, 16 031-120 or 17 756-449.
