Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this Photo-real V-shape design last?
With proper gel application and aftercare, you can expect this design to last 2-3 weeks before needing a fill or removal.
Can I do this design at home if I'm a beginner?
While ambitious, achieving a true 'photo-real' and 'salon quality' finish requires advanced precision and skill, making it challenging for beginners without extensive practice.
What kind of polish is best for sharp V-lines?
Gel polish is recommended as it allows for intricate detailing without drying until cured, offering more time for precision. A good quality fine detail brush is also crucial.
Can I customize the colors for this design?
Absolutely! While we suggest a high-contrast palette for the 'photo-real' effect, you can choose any two complementary or contrasting colors to match your style.
Is nail art tape necessary for the V-lines?
While not strictly necessary for advanced artists, nail art tape can be incredibly helpful for achieving perfectly straight and symmetrical lines, aiding in that 'photo-real' precision.
Will this design damage my natural nails?
When applied and removed correctly by a professional, gel polish and nail art should not damage your natural nails. Always avoid picking or peeling.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Keep nails dry and avoid prolonged water exposure for the first 24 hours.
- ✓Hydrate hands and cuticles regularly to extend the life of your manicure.
- ✓Protect your nails from harsh chemicals by wearing gloves.
- ✓Do not pick or peel at your gel polish; allow for professional removal.
Safe Removal
- 1.1. Gently file off the top coat to break the seal, being careful not to file into the natural nail.
- 2.2. Soak cotton pads in acetone, place on each nail, and wrap with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.3. Gently push off softened gel with a wooden stick; never force it, re-soak if needed.
