OPI’s NEW Chrome Effects and Infinite Shine Glaze Toppers

Shelena Robinson used Swarovski crystals and CND Shellac in Silver Chrome to create Billy Porter's glam Emmys manicure, adding even more sparkle alongside his Michael Kors suit embroidered with over 130K crystals. Vanessa McCullough applied the nails, which took 30 minutes per nail to create and featured 70-100 Swarovski crystals per nail, for a total of over 1000 crystals in the whole set. CND Duraforce Top Coat held the crystals in place.
