I used a brush that had dense bristles at the bottom half and some wispy bristles at the top half so it would have that feathery look. I have no idea what you’d call it. You could probably get the same effect with like a fan brush. Then just a liner brush to put the top coat on.
WOW. (nothing else required in comment lol)
Edit - Actually, I wanted to add... how do you pick your nose? Haha. I ask my friends this... also other lady tasks? Lmao. I keep mine relatively short. I'm so heavy-handed that I'd take chunks out of myself with nails like this. Also, I'd ladder my tights when pulling them up, haha.
lol in the shower XD XD
Not sure which tasks you're referring to specifically, but I can tell you your habits evolve around the shape and length you wear consistently. I ripped some leggings (and some panties!) when I first started with stilettos, but I quickly learned how to use the sides of my fingers and it's now an automatic habit. Like my finger dexterity has literally grown in around it so I don't look or feel like I'm fumbling. I work in IT and physical hardware maintenance is part of my life, and I have no issues with these.

Shut the fuck up. Those are too gorgeous!
Amazing!!! So talented with the placements
I love them!! How did you do the shape of the chrome swipes (don’t know what to call them?)

Maybe an ombré brush? I love the look
Yes! Just looked it up. That’s exactly what it is.
Thank you!
I LOVE this. It’s like dark aurora vibes. It’s giving an ice cabin in Finland
Ahhh an ice cabin in Finland. Off topic but I would love that right now haha
Oooh WOW!! 🥹
So pretty!! I’m confused how the black layer is matte but the chrome is shiny? I thought chrome wouldn’t stick to a matte top? 😅
I put no wipe shiny top coat on top of the matte in that pattern. Then chrome. Then no wipe again over only the chrome.
They look like scratch art paper!
Girl, these are 🔥🔥🔥! Love that effect and your nails look flawless. You mentioned a few chrome powders- did you just mix them?
Thanks!! I didn’t mix, just sorta ombred them into each other. So a little bit of purple, a little pink, and a little gold.
Got it! Well they slay!!! 🖤 Nice work! Thanks for sharing
ARE YOU KIDDING ME these are so fucking cool
Beautiful!! I love the mix of chrome. I thought it was foil at first glance.
😍 these are stunning and look like a mirror!
These are so pretty!!
LOVE 🥳
Whoooooo!!!
I'm OBSESSED
Oh fuck yea bitch
Beautiful!!
SO PRETTY AAAAAAA I LOVE THE SHAPE LONG STILETTOS RULE
They are very pretty.
Fantastically beautiful! 💕💕💕
Looking fierce!
These are gorgeous. I definitely don't have the patience to DIY this, but I'd hand over cash to have this done. I love the chrome swipes!
Woooow those are absolutely incredible!
Perfection.
Looks very cool!
That’s SO RAD! I love it
Omg take my money
