  1. Prepare nails (clean, shape, buff) and apply a durable base coat, curing thoroughly.
  2. Apply a chosen base color, curing each layer for a flawless foundation.
  3. Begin sculpting the dimensional elements using small beads of 3D gel/acrylic, building up layers gradually and curing each for stability.
  4. Once sculpted, use fine detail brushes and gel polishes to hand-paint realistic textures, shadows, and highlights onto the raised elements, mimicking photographic detail.
  5. Apply a high-gloss, non-wipe top coat over the entire nail, ensuring full coverage around the sculpted areas for protection and shine, then cure one final time.
  6. Cleanse the nail surface if necessary and moisturize cuticles.

Expert Tip

For true photo-realism, build your sculpted elements in thin, cured layers, adding depth and detail incrementally. Patience and precise brushwork are key to achieving lifelike textures and capturing nuanced shades.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly are Photo-Real Sculpted Nails?

These are intricate nail designs featuring highly realistic, raised elements meticulously crafted to mimic real-world textures and objects, resulting in a stunning, almost photographic effect.

How long do Photo-Real Sculpted Nails last?

With proper application and aftercare, this design can last 3-4 weeks, though fill-ins are recommended every 2-3 weeks to maintain its pristine look.

Are these designs heavy on the nail?

While they add some dimension, professional application ensures they are lightweight and comfortable, feeling no heavier than a typical gel or acrylic enhancement.

Can I get any object or theme sculpted?

Our talented artists can sculpt a wide range of realistic objects and themes, from flowers and insects to miniature landscapes or architectural details. Consultation is key for custom designs.

Is this design suitable for everyday wear?

Absolutely! While luxurious and eye-catching, these sculpted nails are designed for durability, allowing you to flaunt your artistry daily with proper care.

What's the difference between 'sculpted' and 'dimensional' nails?

Both refer to raised elements on the nail. 'Sculpted' emphasizes the detailed crafting process, while 'dimensional' broadly describes the three-dimensional aspect of the design.

Aftercare Tips

  • Be mindful of bumping or snagging the raised elements on clothing or surfaces.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or water immediately after your appointment.
  • Never attempt to pick or peel off any part of the design to prevent nail damage.

Safe Removal

  • 2.The nail technician will gently file down the top coat and sculpted layers.
  • 3.Nails will be soaked in acetone (if gel/acrylic) or carefully filed until the product is removed, followed by conditioning.
