Chrome Pen Revolution - Nails Plus

Nails Plus is a nail salon supply store owned and managed by experienced nail techs. That means we’re always on the lookout for new innovations in nail art. Specifically, we’re always seeking the best, high quality brushes; the most effective tools; and polishes & powders that really shine.

This week, we’re sharing a new innovation in chrome color nail design: the chrome pen.

Chrome Color Nail Design

First, what is chrome nail polish? And how is chrome color used in modern nail art? Chrome nail color is a high-shine, reflective, and metallic style that can come in a variety of colors, from silver to gold to purple. Chrome color in nail design is actually an innovation in itself, as chrome isn’t actually a nail polish at all, but a powder that is added to a base color. The resulting nail design will have a mirror finish.

Chrome Pens: An Innovation in Chrome Color

Chromatic pens take the chrome color innovation to a whole new level. Most nail techs are used to buying chrome color as a powder, in a jar. But with a chrome pen, metallic chrome color can be applied to the nail with a built-in applicator. This applicator—a tiny sponge, similar to an eyeshadow applicator—is sleek and easy to use, eliminating the need for working with loose (and often messy) chrome pigments. Chromatic pens are popping up in nail salon supply stores everywhere, and Nails Plus is proud to be a leader in this exciting new trend.

The Best Chrome Pens & Chrome Color Products

Ready to take chrome nail color to the next level? Here are a few chrome color product recommendations from your trusted nail salon supply store:

Gotti Chromatic Pens

We love Gotti Chromatic Pens for their sleek packaging and elegant design. These high-quality chromatic pens come in over a dozen different chrome colors, from shining silver to rich red and sparkling pink. Start with a trio of your favorite colors and experience the joy & ease of chrome nail art using chromatic pens. Pair the Gotti Chromatic Pen with the Gotti No Wipe Top Coat.

Gelish Chrome Stix

Another great contender in high-quality chrome pens is Gelish, with their Gelish Chrome Stix. These chrome pens are available online and in our Dallas Fort Worth nail salon supply store in six gorgeous colors: Violet Chameleon, Magenta Chamel, Fuschia Mirror, Pink Opal, Gold Halo, and Silver Halo. Grab all six and have some fun! Pair these colors with the Gelish No Cleanse Top Coat.

Mia Secret Chrome Mirror Powder

Innovations in nail art are great, but we understand that not everyone is up for change. Maybe your nail techs learned to use chrome with the traditional powder, and they’d rather stick to that method. We get it! That’s why we carry Mia Secret’s Chrome Mirror Powder in Silver and Gold.
