Glittery, chrome and metallic nail powders
Nail powder or pigment for nails can create a wow effect in just a few minutes. Whether you’re after a subtle sheen, bold chrome or an eye-catching holographic finish, this category has everything you need for creative nail art using powders and pigments.
Buffing nail pigment
Buffing pigment is an ultra-fine powder that’s rubbed into the nail surface to create a perfectly smooth, glossy effect. Simply apply the powder to gel nails to achieve anything from mirror-like chrome to a pearlescent glow or metallic shine, depending on the pigment you choose.
