Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don't have gel polish?

Regular nail polish can be used, but the photo-real effect may be harder to achieve, and it won't last as long.

Can I add glitter to this design?

A very subtle dusting of micro-fine glitter can add a touch of sparkle, but avoid anything too bold to maintain the professional look.

How do I clean the fine detail brush?

Clean your brush immediately after use with brush cleaner or acetone to prevent the gel polish from hardening.

What if I don't have a UV/LED lamp?

You will need a UV/LED lamp for curing gel polish. Alternatively, use regular nail polish with a similar design.

How can I make this design last longer?

Proper nail prep, thin coats of polish, and a high-quality top coat are essential for longevity.

Can I do this design on short nails?

Absolutely! The clean, professional aesthetic works well on shorter nails.
