- Sheer Nude Gel Polish
- High-Pigment White Art Gel
- Ultra-Fine Detailer Brush (000 size)
- No-Wipe High-Gloss Top Coat
- Dual Cure LED/UV Lamp
- Nail Cleanser and Lint-Free Wipes
- Begin with meticulous nail prep: shape into a soft almond, gently buff the surface, and cleanse thoroughly.
- Apply one to two thin coats of a sheer nude gel polish as the base, curing after each layer.
- Using an ultra-fine detailer brush and a high-pigment white art gel, begin painting the delicate lace pattern. Start with the main outlines and cure for 10-15 seconds to lock them in place.
- Build upon the pattern, adding finer threads, dots, and floral elements to create a realistic, multi-dimensional lace effect. Cure in short bursts to prevent the gel from bleeding.
- Once the design is complete, perform a full cure according to your gel product's instructions.
- Finish with a perfectly smooth layer of high-gloss, no-wipe top coat and cure for 60 seconds. Apply cuticle oil to nourish the surrounding skin.
Expert Tip
Use a high-viscosity, non-leveling white art gel. This ensures your intricate lines stay crisp and won't spread, which is crucial for achieving the photo-realistic quality of the lace.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will a photo-real bridal design last?
When done with gel polish by a professional, this manicure should last 2-4 weeks without chipping, making it perfect for the wedding and honeymoon.
Can this design be done with regular nail polish?
Due to the slow drying time and difficulty in creating fine, non-bleeding lines, this design is best achieved with gel. It's nearly impossible to get a photo-real finish with regular polish.
What nail shape works best for this lace design?
Almond and oval shapes are ideal as they elongate the fingers and provide a beautiful, curved canvas that complements the delicate flow of the lace pattern.
Can I request a design to match my dress's specific lace?
Absolutely! A skilled artist can use a photo of your dress's lace as a reference to create a truly bespoke, matching design. This is a key benefit of this salon quality service.
Is this design suitable for short nails?
Yes, a simplified version of the lace pattern can be adapted for shorter nails. The artist may focus on a delicate design along the cuticle or as a french tip for the best effect.
Why is this manicure more expensive than others?
The cost reflects the advanced skill, time (often 90+ minutes), and artistic talent required to hand-paint such a detailed, photo-realistic design.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓For the first 24 hours, avoid prolonged exposure to hot water like saunas or long baths.
- ✓Be gentle with your hands; the top coat is hard, but not indestructible.
- ✓Moisturize your hands regularly to complement your beautiful manicure.
- ✓Avoid hand sanitizers and sunscreens containing high amounts of alcohol, as they can dull the top coat's shine.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file the surface of the top coat with a 180-grit file to break the seal.
- 2.Soak cotton pads in 100% acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap securely with aluminum foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently slide off the softened gel using an orangewood stick or cuticle pusher. Never force or scrape the product off.
