Does anyone remember back in the early 90's they made nails that were made out of 14 or 18kt gold (usually a pinky nail) and you just stick them on right over your own nail. I believe that is what they did for these ads. Taken a fake nail and chrome plate it. I do nails and have never seen any of those "chrome" polishes ever come out to look like the actual thing. Sorry, thats just advertising.

Thats cool i never knew they had 14kt gold nails........i really like ur quote thingy about beauty very true

try using a high gloss metalic spray paint on false stick on (NOT your own) nails or if you cant be bothered with the mess i really like magic metals polishes, i got some from myold manicurist and if you use an ultrs glossy topcoat they look pretty good although they are a pain to get off. i think they contain ground up metal to give that finish

I have Avon's Mirror Shine in Foil and I absolutely it! The color might not be as intense as the ads but I am very pleased with the metallic effect factor!
