  • Gel base coat and top coat
  • Nude or milky white gel polish
  • Fine-tip nail art brush
  • Assorted micro beads or tiny metallic accents
  • Nail art tweezers or wax picker tool
  • UV/LED curing lamp
  1. Prep nails and apply a thin layer of gel base coat, cure under UV/LED lamp.
  2. Apply 1-2 coats of your chosen nude or milky white gel polish, curing after each coat.
  3. While the final color coat is tacky (or apply a thin layer of no-wipe builder gel), use tweezers to meticulously place micro beads or metallic accents in your desired photo-real pattern.
  4. Cure to secure the intricate details, then carefully apply a high-gloss top coat, ensuring to seal around the edges of the accents without submerging their fine definition.
  5. Cure the top coat thoroughly, then wipe with alcohol if needed to remove any sticky residue, revealing a pristine, high-shine finish.

Expert Tip

For truly 'photo-real' results, plan your embellishment pattern precisely before application, and use a very thin layer of builder gel or top coat as an adhesive to prevent sinking while maintaining definition. A good quality no-wipe top coat will enhance the high-gloss finish without dulling the intricate details.
