- Step 1: Create a flawless canvas by performing meticulous nail prep and applying a structured builder gel base for a perfect arch and shape. Cure.
- Step 2: Apply two thin coats of a sheer milky white or nude gel polish to establish a soft, ethereal background. Cure each layer.
- Step 3: Using a fine liner brush and high-viscosity white art gel, meticulously hand-paint the lace or floral patterns. Work in multiple thin layers to build realistic dimension.
- Step 4: Encapsulate the detailed art with a thin layer of clear builder gel. This creates depth, protects the design, and ensures a perfectly smooth surface.
- Step 5: File and buff the nail to refine the shape and ensure a seamless finish before cleansing.
- Step 6: Apply a high-gloss, non-wipe top coat and cure for the recommended time to achieve a durable, photo-ready shine.
Expert Tip
To achieve the most realistic 'fabric' effect, use a slightly off-white or ivory art gel instead of a stark, bright white. This simple switch creates a softer, more authentic look that mimics the texture of fine bridal lace.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will this photo-real bridal manicure last?
With proper aftercare and a structured gel base, this design can last 2-4 weeks before requiring a fill or professional removal.
Can the lace pattern be customized to match my dress?
Absolutely. This is a bespoke service. We encourage you to bring a photo of your dress lace so our artist can create a matching, one-of-a-kind design.
Is this design suitable for short, natural nails?
While possible on short nails, the intricate detail is best showcased on a medium length. We can use a structured gel overlay to add strength and a bit of length if needed.
Why is this design more expensive than a standard gel manicure?
The cost reflects the advanced skill, premium materials, and significant time (90+ minutes) required to hand-paint the intricate, photo-realistic details.
Will this design snag on my veil or dress?
No. The entire design is encapsulated in a smooth layer of clear gel and a glossy top coat, ensuring a completely smooth surface with no raised elements to snag delicate fabrics.
How far in advance of my wedding should I get these nails done?
We recommend getting your manicure done 1-2 days before your wedding day to ensure they are perfectly fresh and pristine.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Apply cuticle oil twice daily to keep skin hydrated and prevent hangnails.
- ✓Wear gloves when cleaning or washing dishes to protect the high-gloss finish from harsh chemicals.
- ✓Avoid using your nails as tools to open cans or scrape surfaces, which could damage the intricate artwork.
- ✓Be mindful of lotions or sunscreens with dyes that could potentially stain the light-colored polish.
Safe Removal
- 1.Professional Removal Recommended: This design should be removed by a professional to protect the natural nail.
- 2.The artist will use an e-file to carefully debulk the majority of the gel product.
- 3.Any remaining product is then gently soaked off with acetone wraps before conditioning the natural nail.
