Oil Slick Multichrome shifts purple to green to bronze over a black base — a petrol puddle after rain, on a medium coffin. It is the most dramatic finish on the site and the one that looks different in every photograph, because the colour depends entirely on the angle between the light, the nail and your eye. For anyone who wants her nails to be the conversation rather than the accessory.

How this look is done
- 01Shape to a medium coffin and apply a true black gel base in two thin coats, curing each.
- 02Apply a no-wipe top coat and cure briefly; a flawless surface matters more here than with any other chrome.
- 03Buff multichrome powder over the black in overlapping circles until the purple-green-bronze shift appears from every angle.
- 04Seal with a thick glossy gel top coat and cure to protect the shift.
Who it suits
Every undertone — the black base is neutral and the shift supplies the colour — and it is breathtaking on deep skin. Coffin and stiletto give the shift the most room; on short nails it still works but reads darker. Save it for evenings, parties and anywhere with interesting lighting.
How it wears
Two to three weeks in gel. Multichrome hides scratches better than plain silver because the surface is already busy, but the black base makes regrowth visible around week three. Ask for a generous top coat — it is what keeps the shift alive.
Softer or bolder
Softer: multichrome over a deep navy for a subtler shift. Bolder: oil slick on every nail with one matte black accent, so the shine has something to push against.
