- Gel Base & Top Coat
- Deep Navy or Black Gel Polish (base color)
- Metallic Gold or Silver Gel Polish
- Ultra-Fine Liner Brushes (000, 00)
- UV/LED Curing Lamp
- Nail Cleanser & Lint-Free Wipes
- Prep nails by shaping, buffing, and applying a gel base coat, curing under a UV/LED lamp.
- Apply 2-3 thin, even coats of your chosen base color (e.g., deep navy or black gel polish), curing each layer thoroughly.
- Using an ultra-fine liner brush and metallic gel polish, meticulously paint intricate Art Deco geometric patterns like sunbursts, chevrons, or stepped lines. Work section by section, curing frequently to prevent smudging and achieve 'photo-real' precision.
- Add smaller, complementary metallic details or outline specific sections to enhance the depth and definition of the design, curing after each addition.
- Seal the entire design with a high-gloss, no-wipe gel top coat, ensuring full coverage, and cure for the recommended time for a flawless, salon-quality finish.
Expert Tip
Achieving the 'photo-real' aspect is all about precision and thin layers. Load your fine liner brush minimally and use a steady hand. Cure frequently, even after small sections, to lock in your intricate lines and prevent any bleeding or smudging. Patience is key for this level of detail!
