- High-pigment gel polishes (black, white, silver)
- Fine-tip striping brushes
- Nail art striping tape (various widths)
- LED/UV curing lamp
- Non-wipe top coat
- Lint-free wipes & cleanser
- Prepare nails (file, push cuticles, cleanse) and apply a thin layer of gel base coat, cure.
- Apply two thin coats of your primary base color (e.g., Jet Black), curing after each coat.
- Carefully place thin striping tape to create your chevron outlines, ensuring perfect symmetry and crisp edges. For a 'photo-real' effect, use multiple layers of tape to block specific sections.
- Apply secondary colors (e.g., Optic White, Sterling Silver) into the taped-off sections, ensuring thin, even coats and curing between colors. Remove tape immediately after curing each section for sharp lines.
- Using a fine detail brush and Sterling Silver gel, add an ultra-thin highlight line along one edge of the black chevron for added dimension. Cure.
- Finish with a durable, high-gloss non-wipe top coat, capping the free edge, and cure thoroughly for a salon-perfect shine.
Expert Tip
Achieving photo-realism requires impeccable precision. Apply gel polishes in very thin layers and cure fully after each step. For the sharpest lines in this Chevron.Design, remove striping tape while the gel is still warm from the lamp, but after it's cured, to prevent smudging.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will this Photo-Real Chevron Design last?
With proper application and care, this gel polish design typically lasts 3-4 weeks without chipping or fading, maintaining its high-gloss finish.
Can I achieve this look at home if I'm not a professional?
Due to the advanced techniques and precision required for the 'photo-real' quality and sharp chevron lines, professional application is highly recommended for optimal results.
Is this design customizable with different colors?
Absolutely! While the core technique remains, you can select any color palette to match your personal style or a specific event, from vibrant neons to subtle pastels.
Will this design work on short nails?
While possible, the intricate chevron pattern and 'photo-real' depth are best showcased on medium to long nail lengths to allow for more visual impact and detail.
How do I ensure the lines are perfectly straight?
Professional nail artists use specialized fine-tip brushes and high-quality striping tape. For home application, practicing freehand on a nail wheel or using precise stencils can help.
Does 'photo-real' mean it's 3D?
'Photo-real' refers to the hyper-realistic, crisp, and dimension-creating visual effect of the design, making it appear almost three-dimensional through clever color and line work, rather than being physically raised.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid prolonged water exposure and harsh chemicals for the first 24 hours.

Safe Removal

- 3.Carefully scrape off softened gel with a wooden cuticle pusher; repeat soaking if necessary until all gel is removed.
