Step By Step Breakdown:

  1. Prep the nails and shape them into a long coffin silhouette with straight sidewalls and clean squared tips.
  2. Apply a base coat and cure completely.
  3. Paint each nail with a deep navy-blue base to create the dark foundation visible around the edges.
  4. Apply a metallic or magnetic electric-blue gel polish evenly across the entire nail.
  5. Before curing, use a magnetic tool to concentrate the brighter turquoise-blue reflection vertically through the center of the nail.
  6. Move the magnet along both sidewalls to deepen the navy edges while maintaining the brighter central highlight.
  7. Repeat the magnetic layer if necessary to intensify the dimensional blue shift.
  8. Keep the reflective effect running lengthwise from the cuticle toward the squared tip to visually elongate the nails.
  9. Cure the completed magnetic layer thoroughly.
  10. Finish with a high-gloss top coat to create the smooth, glassy blue chrome appearance shown in the photo.
