I'm totally late to the party on this one. I think practically everyone here has this polish. But I love it! So glad I added it to my last pre no-buy order. Chromes are my favourite finish and aqua-blue is a very frequent colour in my wardrobe, so this fits right in.
The only issue I have with chromes is that they're such a bugger to clean up - I end up with sparkly bits everywhere. There are a few ridgey bits evident in these pictures, but that's my own fault. My favourite way to apply chromes is to sandwich them with a coat of seche vite, which makes them really smooth (base, two coats polish, SV, polish, SV) and gives amazing wear time - my butter london fairy lights mani (a pink chrome) lasted 9 days with no chips. This one was more like 3 days, but then it's only two coats between lumos base and top coat (neither of which are that great, in my opinion). Like this? Click below to let us know!

Awesome color!!
I love it too!
From this collection I own mllennium and passion, but this one will be mine, one day! I use them esepcially for stamping, because I find a bit hard to applying them alone, but it's stunning and always I try anyway! ;D
This is gorgeous! I've got to get some of these. I also clicked the link the the Butter London post, and I think I love that one even more.
Wow! i think is time for me to get this and Millenium! they look amazing, and since i don't have any chrome, i have plenty of excuses to get two more polishes..
Great photos! Metalics are big with me too - however some are so touchy, thinner, yet some getting better on lack of brush strokes. Yours here sure is not showing the tell-tale brush strokes. It was a long leap from years of frost to make it to metallic formulation. So glad no one gave up!
Beautiful! I love chromes too but my ridges always get in the way, so I appreciate your tip about smoothing them out. :)
amazing! like an aluminium look!
stunning!
Gorgeous polish!
I also love chrome finishes. Your nails look gorgeous. I haven't worn my chromes in a long time. My nails are just too short. Good idea about the Seche Vite sandwich! I'll have to remember that. Which would be a miracle since I have a terrible memory. Have a nice weekend.
love it! :)
wow that is amazing!
Seems there's a lot of love for this! :D I completely agree with you all, it's a fab colour. I'm so glad they released this collection but gutted that it's d/ced now, I still have to lay my paws on millennium!
