Each of the four looks here were created using the same technique – stamp FIRST, THEN apply chrome. For a step by step tutorial, check out Thursdays video in part two of the blog:

There are links below for where to buy all the products used in these four designs. The links are for Nail Pros in the UK & Ireland. For the rest of the world I’ve provided links at the end of the post.

Gradient nail art stamping color fade over CND Shellac with Lecenté Chrome by Fee WallaceThis beauty has been well liked! It’s definitely been the most popular of the four looks. Here are the products and steps used to create it.

  • Begin with a cured layer of Shellac Video Violet.
  • Apply and cure a thin coat of Lecenté Layer It!
  • On the :YOURS Loves Nataliya stamping plate Doodles, apply 3 drops of Creative Play polish. Here I’ve used Navy Brat, Isn’t She Grape? & Life’s A Cupcake.
  • Blend the three colours together on the stamping plate with scraper card and roll the :YOURS Halo Stamper over gently, to pick up the design. Apply to the cured coat of Lecenté Layer It.
  • With a sponge or applicator, apply Lecenté Silver Chrome Powder. Give it a good rub in and be sure to remove excess powder particles with a clean piece of sponge or a dry lint free wipe.
  • Finish with CND™ Shellac Original Top Coat.

  • Begin with a cured layer of Shellac Viridian Veil.
  • Apply and cure a thin coat of Lecenté Layer It!
  • On the :YOURS Loves Sascha stamping plate Rhythmic Riddles, apply 2 drops of Creative Play polish. Here I’ve used Head Over Teal & Black + Forth.
  • Blend the two colours together on the stamping plate with scraper card and roll the :YOURS Halo Stamper over gently, to pick up the design. Apply to the cured coat of Lecenté Layer It.
  • With a sponge or applicator, apply Lecenté Pink Chameleon Chrome Powder . Give it a good rub in and be sure to remove excess powder particles with a clean piece of sponge or a dry lint free wipe.

Double stamping nail art with :YOURS and Lecenté Chrome over Shellac by Fee Wallace

This is a great look for autumn and works fabulously as an accent nail in amongst more subdued bronze tones. The technique utilised double stamping, adding only one quick extra step to the procedure.

  • This nail begins with a cured layer of CND Shellac Rubble.
  • Apply and cure a thin coat of Lecenté Layer It!
  • On the :YOURS Loves Lecenté stamping plate Angular Six, apply Creative Play polish Polish My Act.

  • Next, on the :YOURS Loves Fee stamping plate Sacred Shapes, apply Creative Play polish Black + Forth. Pick up the design as before and apply on top of the previous design.
  • With a sponge or applicator, apply Lecenté Bronze Chrome Powder. Give it a good rub in and be sure to remove excess powder particles with a clean piece of sponge or a dry lint free wipe.
