✨ Metallic gels deserve a little patience ✨
Okay, don’t cancel metallic polishes just yet. 🙅♀️When you first paint them on, they can look streaky, dull, or like “meh, I wasted my money.”
BUT, give them a minute (literally). ⏳
If you let them sit for 1–2 minutes before curing, the pigments smooth themselves out, and then you’ve got that mirror-like shine you were dreaming of.
I’ve dropped a before-and-after below 👇 - same polish, same nail, just a couple minutes apart. One looks streaky… the other looks like liquid chrome.
💡 Pro tip: If you’re working on nail art with metallics, paint all your designs first, then circle back to cure once they’ve had their little “rest and settle” moment. It makes a HUGE difference.
Have you tried this trick before? Or do metallic gels still give you grief? 👀
