How long does this 'Photo-Real' manicure last?

With proper application and aftercare, this gel manicure can last 2-3 weeks without chipping, maintaining its high-gloss finish.

Can I achieve this look at home?

While possible, achieving this salon-quality, 'photo-real' perfection requires advanced skill, high-quality gel products, a good UV/LED lamp, and meticulous application. Professional application is highly recommended for best results.

What nail shape best complements this design?

Almond or oval shapes beautifully enhance the elegance of this design, offering a sophisticated and refined silhouette that pairs perfectly with the deep color and high-gloss finish.

Aftercare Tips

  • Moisturize hands and nails regularly to maintain skin health.
  • Schedule professional infills or removal every 2-3 weeks.
  • Avoid picking or peeling the gel polish, which can damage natural nails.

Safe Removal

  • 1.File Top Coat: Gently file the top coat to break the seal, being careful not to reach the natural nail.
  • 2.Soak Off: Soak cotton pads in acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
  • 3.Gently Scrape: Carefully push off the softened gel with a wooden stick. Repeat soaking if necessary; do not force.
