Chrome and cat-eye
Two finishes that make a nail look like metal or light moving inside stone. They suit anyone who wants a nail that catches a lamp, on short natural nails or a longer set.
Chrome is a powder buffed onto the surface. Cat-eye is a magnetic gel pulled into a line of shimmer. Both show up most over a dark or saturated base, and both are built in thin layers, so they're booked as a block of time rather than a quick polish change.
What happens at the visit
A chrome or cat-eye finish takes about 75 to 90 minutes on its own, and longer over a full set.

Step 1: Choose the finish and base
We settle the base color, the finish and the length with you, from your reference or from our finish index.

Step 2: Prep and color
We shape the nail, tidy the cuticle and cure the color layers under the lamp.

Step 3: Build the finish
Chrome powder is buffed on, or the magnet pulls the cat-eye line, then we check the light from a few angles.

Step 4: Seal and finish
A last sealing layer cures, we wipe the nails clean and show you how to look after them at home.
What sets the time and the price
Three things move a chrome or cat-eye set
The base
Natural nails take the least time. A full soft-gel set adds shaping and building before the finish goes on.
The color and the finish
A single powder color is quick. Two-tone chrome, a color fade or a cat-eye in a second shade adds layers.
Art on top
Lines, charms and hand-painted details are timed by level. The design guide shows each one.

Removal and aftercare
Looking after a finish
Book removal first
If your nails were done elsewhere, book removal before your set, so we can start from your natural nail.
Don't pull it off
Picking at gel or chrome takes layers of your natural nail with it. Book a removal and we'll soak it off gently.
If a nail lifts
Tell us within a few days and we'll make it right. A small repair is quick and we keep a chair for it.
