- Creamy Beige Gel Polish
- Deep Charcoal Grey Gel Polish
- Fine Striping Tape (1-2mm)
- UV/LED Curing Lamp
- Non-Wipe Top Coat
- Precision Cleanup Brush and Acetone
- Prep nails by shaping, buffing, and applying a base coat, curing under UV/LED lamp.
- Apply two thin, even coats of creamy beige gel polish as the base, curing each layer fully.
- Once cured, apply striping tape precisely to create the sharp chevron pattern, ensuring symmetrical and clean lines.
- Carefully apply the deep charcoal grey gel polish over the tape, pressing it lightly to prevent bleeding, then remove the tape immediately before curing.
- Cure the chevron design thoroughly, then seal with a high-gloss non-wipe top coat and cure for a final, durable finish.
- Clean any residual polish from cuticles and edges with a precision brush dipped in acetone for a 'photo-real' crisp look.
Expert Tip
Achieving the 'photo-real' finish relies on absolute precision with your striping tape placement and removal. Apply thin coats of color and pull the tape off gently while the polish is still wet (before curing) for the crispest lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Salon Chevron manicure typically last?
With proper application and aftercare, this gel polish design can last 2-3 weeks without chipping or dulling.
Can I achieve this 'photo-real' precision at home?
While possible, achieving true salon-quality, photo-real precision with sharp chevrons requires practice, professional tools like fine striping tape, and a steady hand.
What nail shape best complements this chevron design?
Almond, coffin, or square shapes with medium length best showcase the clean lines and geometric symmetry of this chevron design.
Will the tape damage my base polish during removal?
No, if the base polish is fully cured and you remove the tape gently and immediately after applying the chevron color (before curing it), it should not damage the base.
Is this design suitable for short nails?
Yes, but the chevron pattern might appear more condensed. A single, bold chevron on shorter nails can still look very chic.
Can I use regular polish for this design?
While possible, gel polish provides the durable, high-gloss, and crisp lines essential for the 'photo-real' and long-lasting salon quality look of this design.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid excessive hot water and steam for the first 24 hours after your service to ensure optimal adhesion.
- ✓Do not use your nails as tools; this can lead to chipping or breakage, compromising the design.
- ✓Apply hand cream regularly to maintain skin hydration, which also benefits nail health.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top coat to break the seal, being careful not to file into your natural nail.
- 2.Soak cotton pads in 100% acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off the softened gel polish with an orange wood stick; never forcefully peel or pry.
