Frequently Asked Questions
How long do sculpted nails typically last?
With proper application and aftercare, these dimensional designs can last 3-4 weeks before needing a fill or removal.
Are the raised elements practical for daily wear?
While stunning, the dimensional elements require a bit more mindfulness to avoid snagging or damage compared to flat designs. Gentle handling is recommended.
Can this design be done on shorter nails?
While possible, the intricate details and "photo-real" effect are best showcased and fully appreciated on medium to longer nail lengths.
What exactly defines "photo-real" in nail art?
It refers to the meticulous detail, shading, and texture that mimic real-life objects, natural forms, or even miniature landscapes with incredible accuracy and depth.
Is the design heavy or bulky on the nails?
No, skilled artists use lightweight sculpting products, ensuring the design is comfortable, balanced, and does not feel cumbersome on the nail.
Can I customize the sculpted elements?
Absolutely! Your nail artist can work with you to create personalized shapes, textures, or motifs that perfectly reflect your individual style.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Apply cuticle oil daily to nourish and protect your nail area.
- ✓Avoid picking or biting your nails, especially around the sculpted designs.
- ✓Wear gloves for household chores and activities that could damage your nail art.
- ✓Promptly contact your nail technician if you notice any lifting or damage to avoid further issues.
Safe Removal
- 1.Carefully file down the top coat and the sculpted elements to break the seal.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone-soaked cotton pads wrapped in foil (for gel/acrylic) for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently scrape off the softened product with a wooden stick or metal pusher, never forcing removal to prevent nail damage.
