  intro: "Chrome is not a polish. It's a finish applied over a fully cured gel base — a metallic powder burnished onto the nail surface until it reads as a mirror. This distinction matters because the process breaks down in predictable ways when the base is wrong or the curing step is skipped. The glazed donut finish — the sheer, milky version that took over in 2023 — is a different animal: it's a top coat formula, not a powder technique, and it photographs differently from true chrome. Glass nails are different again: translucent gel with no pigment, showing the natural nail through. All three use the word 'shine' but they're built and maintained differently. Below is everything we've published on the subject.",

    body: "Chrome powder is a metallic pigment burnished onto a sticky, uncured gel layer. The result is a mirror-like surface with depth — you're seeing the powder sitting in the gel. Top coat chrome is a single-application product that cures with a high-shine surface. It's easier to apply but reflects less intensely. The glazed donut finish uses a specific sheer, milky top coat formula — it's closer to a frosted high-gloss than a true mirror. Glass nails are transparent gel with no added colour, sometimes with a single thin chrome layer to add dimension.",

  myths: [
    { m: "Chrome powder works over regular nail polish.",

      t: "They share the high-shine register but are built differently. Glazed donut is a specific top coat applied in particular stroke patterns. Chrome powder produces a more metallic, mirror-like result." },
