Frequently Asked Questions

How long will this design last?

With proper application and maintenance, gel polish can last up to 2-3 weeks without chipping.

Can I achieve this look without an airbrush?

Yes, you can create a similar ombre effect using a makeup sponge and dabbing the colors onto your nails.

What kind of brushes should I use for the fine-line details?

Use very fine, detail brushes specifically designed for nail art.

Is gel polish necessary for this design?

Gel polish is recommended for its durability and glossy finish, which enhances the photo-real effect.

How do I prevent bubbles in my gel polish?

Apply thin, even layers of gel polish and avoid shaking the bottle vigorously. Roll the bottle gently to mix the polish.

Can I use regular nail polish instead of gel polish?

While possible, regular nail polish won't achieve the same durability or glossy finish as gel polish, and the details may not last as long.
