- Prep nails: shape, buff, push cuticles, and apply a thin layer of gel base coat, curing under LED/UV lamp.
- Apply two thin coats of Muted Nude gel polish to all nails, curing each layer. Select accent nails for solid Jet Black, applying two coats and curing.
- On the chevron-patterned nails (typically 2-3 per hand), use a fine liner brush and Jet Black gel polish to carefully draw the initial 'V' shape for the chevron, starting from the center and extending to the sidewalls. Cure.
- Layer additional chevron lines inside the existing black 'V's, using Crisp White gel polish for contrast, ensuring each line is perfectly parallel and sharp. Repeat and cure as needed for desired density.
- Once all lines are perfected and cured, encapsulate the entire design with a durable, high-gloss gel top coat, ensuring even coverage. Cure thoroughly.
- Remove the tacky layer with a nail cleanser, revealing the pristine, photo-real finish. Apply cuticle oil.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do Photo-Real Salon Chevron Nails typically last?
With proper application and aftercare, this gel polish design can last 2-3 weeks without chipping or lifting, maintaining its glossy, photo-real finish.
Can I achieve this design at home if I'm a beginner?
Due to the extreme precision required for the 'photo-real' lines, this design is quite challenging for beginners. We recommend seeking a professional nail artist or practicing extensively with a fine liner brush and gel polishes.
What nail shapes best complement this Chevron design?
Almond, coffin, and oval shapes truly highlight the elegance of the 'Chevron' pattern, allowing ample space for the intricate line work to shine.
Is this design hand-painted or done with decals?
For a true 'photo-real salon quality' finish as described, this design is meticulously hand-painted using fine liner brushes, which allows for ultimate precision and customization over decals.
Can I request different colors for my Chevron nails?
Absolutely! While the classic nude and black are stunning, the 'Chevron' pattern is highly adaptable. Discuss your preferred color palette with your nail artist to personalize your look.
Will the lines smudge easily?
No, because each layer of gel polish, including the lines, is cured under a UV/LED lamp, the design is instantly set and resistant to smudging, ensuring its 'photo-real' crispness.
