Frequently Asked Questions

How do I achieve the perfect ombre effect?

Use a makeup sponge or a fine brush to blend the Champagne gold with the beige base, building the color gradually.

Can I use regular nail polish instead of gel polish?

While possible, gel polish provides a longer-lasting and more durable finish. The photo-real effect is best achieved with gel.

What kind of top coat should I use?

A glossy top coat is ideal for mimicking the shine of Champagne. You can also try a glitter top coat for extra shimmer.

How do I prevent the gold flakes from looking messy?

Apply the flakes sparingly and precisely using a fine detail brush or dotting tool.

How long will this design last?

With proper application and care, the design should last for 2-3 weeks with gel polish.

Is this design suitable for short nails?

Yes, but a medium to long length will showcase the Champagne effect more dramatically.

Aftercare Tips

  • Moisturize hands regularly.
  • Avoid picking at the gel polish.
  • Schedule professional removal to avoid damage to natural nails.

Safe Removal

  • 1.File the top coat to break the seal.
  • 2.Soak cotton pads in acetone, place them on the nails, and wrap with foil. Wait 10-15 minutes.
