Frequently Asked Questions
How durable are the 3D elements on Photo-Real 3D Nails?

Can I get this elegant design on short nails?
While possible, medium to long nail lengths are highly recommended for this design. Longer nails provide ample canvas to fully capture the intricate detail and dimensional effect required for a true photo-real finish.
Does 3D nail art feel heavy or bulky on the nails?
No, professional 3D sculpting gel is lightweight. The design feels remarkably natural despite its volume, thanks to precise layering and thin application techniques.
What makes this design 'photo-real'?
The 'photo-real' aspect comes from the meticulous sculpting, precise shading, and strategic highlighting techniques used. These methods mimic natural light and shadow, creating a lifelike depth and texture that resembles a photograph.
Is professional removal necessary for Photo-Real 3D Nails?
