About This Treatment
We welcomed a guest from France to lull. in Harajuku. Her nails were done by Mami. The menu was Chrome, applied to natural nails with no removal needed, and finished with a full set of 10 extensions.
Design Points
A pale pink chrome covers the set, buffed to a pearl rather than a hard mirror. The colour sits close to the natural nail tone, so the finish registers as a soft sheen across the hand instead of a distinct colour.
The menu was changed to this pink chrome during the appointment. It is a straightforward choice for anyone visiting a nail salon for the first time — no art to maintain, and the growth line is far less visible than with a darker colour.
The Visit
This was her very first time at a nail salon, and she chose pink chrome after switching from the original menu she had in mind. Having recently arrived in Japan, she was treating herself to a first manicure while starting a new chapter here, which made the visit feel like a small celebration. She looked delighted with the result.
Care and Style Notes
Chrome finishes rely on that polished, reflective top layer, so a good top coat and gentle handling help keep the shine going. Applying cuticle oil regularly keeps the surrounding skin healthy and the look tidy as it grows out. A chrome set on extensions typically holds its shape for around three to four weeks, depending on nail growth and daily habits. This style suits anyone who wants something eye-catching but still wearable—the mirror effect stands out on its own, so it works well even without extra charms or stones.
A Note from Your Nail Artist
Pink chrome is a fun one to work on because the color and the reflection play off each other differently under changing light. It was a nice choice for a first salon experience—simple in concept, but with a finish that keeps catching your eye. Mami shaped all ten extensions to match before laying down the chrome, so the shine reads evenly across the whole set.
