Review on Beetles Chrome Nail Powder: Captivating Mirror & Iridescent Holographic Aurora Glitter - 8 Shades, 1g/0.5g Jars by Brandon Harding

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wow, so impressed. 10/10!

Long detailed review: They are beautiful. I ordered chrome powder from 2 different companies, Beetle was one of them. These powders were so easy to rub into the nail unlike other powders that required a lot of rubbing to work and didn't look as shiny, chrome and bright as these. I was really impressed when I used them. I had to use a flash for the photos because the lighting in my house is dim so it's not great but the powders don't blotch at all, they're very finely ground and rub in easily. I've used them on my nails with One Dor's popular no wipe top coat and they worked great. I ordered a set of 20 beetle gel polishes and it arrived today so I decided to test all the polishes and chrome powders on the wheels. First let me say their gel polishes are amazing too, would definitely recommend. When the colored polish dries, it dries like a top coat that does not need to be washed off. You can touch each layer without the sticky film you usually have to wash off and leave no fingerprints. Love it. I then apply the chrome powders to her black gel top coat (which isn't washable, although the bottle doesn't say so). You rubbed yourself in so well. The gold and silver powders are actually gold and silver chrome, not blotchy or difficult to rub in. Beetle Chrome Powder No. 1 has a beautiful purple, gold and green hue. Holographic Powder #5 is amazing, quite finely ground and has every rainbow a holosexual could dream of. Powders #6, 7 & 8 are beautiful and look different on different polishes. Over black, #6 looks green, #7 looks purple, and #8 looks blue. They look very different on white, like a pearly iridescent hue. In the bottle, #6 looks green with a pink tint, #7 looks pink, and #8 looks blue with a purple tint. In the photos, those marked 1-8 and a B below belong to the beetles. The rest is another brand I bought that didn't even hold up to the bugs (the other brand's gold and silver was TERRIBLE). I highly recommend you try them yourself if you are looking for chrome powder for gel nails.
