Bronze Chrome is the mirror that looks like an old coin rather than a new one. Warmer than silver and quieter than gold, buffed over a brown base on a short round nail, it reads as a neutral that happens to shine. It suits warm and deep skin beautifully, goes with every camel coat and gold hoop already in the wardrobe, and is probably the most wearable full chrome on this page.

How this look is done
- 01File to a short round and apply a warm brown gel base in two thin coats, curing each.
- 02Apply a no-wipe top coat and cure briefly.
- 03Buff bronze chrome powder over the nail until it mirrors, paying attention to the curved edges where powder tends to thin.
- 04Seal with a glossy gel top coat and cure.
Who it suits
Warm, olive and deep undertones wear bronze most naturally; cool skin should choose a browner, less golden version. Short round and short almond keep it everyday rather than event. It is the chrome you can wear to work on a Tuesday without anybody deciding you are having a moment.
How it wears
Two to three weeks in gel. Warm metals hide fine scratches better than silver, and a brown base makes regrowth read as shadow rather than a line — this is a genuine four-week set if the tips stay sealed.
Softer or bolder
Softer: a caramel base with a champagne chrome. Bolder: copper chrome over a rust base, which turns the coin into something closer to molten metal.
