  • Professional Gel Base Coat

  • Fine Detail Nail Art Brushes (000 & Liner)
  • Gel Top Coat (no-wipe)
  • UV/LED Curing Lamp

  1. Prepare nails: file, buff, push back cuticles, and dehydrate for optimal adhesion.
  2. Apply a professional gel base coat, cure, then two thin coats of chosen nude/ivory gel polish, curing after each.
  3. Using a fine detail brush and soft white gel, meticulously hand-paint intricate lace or floral patterns, building up layers for a 'photo-real' effect. Cure after each detailed element.
  4. Optionally, gently blend a subtle champagne shimmer gel into areas for depth or delicate highlights, then cure.
  5. Encapsulate the entire design with a durable, high-gloss no-wipe gel top coat, ensuring even coverage over all details, then perform final cure.
  6. Cleanse any tacky residue and apply cuticle oil for a polished finish.

Expert Tip

Achieving a truly 'photo-real' effect requires patience and multiple thin layers of detail, not thick, heavy lines. Use highly pigmented gels and a light hand, curing frequently to prevent smudging and ensure crisp lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will this photo-real bridal nail art last?

With proper application and aftercare, this gel-based design can typically last 2-3 weeks, ensuring your nails look perfect through your wedding and honeymoon.

Can I customize the patterns or colors?

Absolutely! The beauty of a photo-real design is its customization. We can work together to incorporate specific lace patterns from your dress, floral motifs, or a 'something blue' accent.

Is this design suitable for shorter nails?

While intricate details shine best on medium to long almond or oval nails, a simplified version of the design can be adapted for shorter lengths, focusing on key elements.

What is the 'photo-real' effect?

It refers to the meticulous layering and fine detailing that creates an almost three-dimensional, hyper-realistic appearance, much like a tiny photograph or delicate embroidery on your nails.

Do I need a consultation before booking?

For such a detailed and personalized design, a consultation is highly recommended. It allows us to discuss your vision, review patterns, and ensure we allocate sufficient time.

Aftercare Tips
