Frequently Asked Questions
How is the 'photo-real' effect achieved?
It's created by meticulously applying ultra-fine holographic pigment powder over a perfectly cured no-wipe gel top coat, which results in a smooth, high-definition, multi-dimensional reflection unlike traditional glitter.
Will this design chip easily?
When properly applied and sealed with a durable gel top coat by a professional, this design is quite resilient and can last 2-3 weeks with proper care and maintenance.
Can I get this look with regular polish?
Achieving the true 'photo-real' salon quality holographic effect requires gel polish and specialized holographic powder, which typically cannot be replicated with regular polish for the same smoothness, intensity, and longevity.
What makes it different from glitter nails?
Unlike chunky glitter that offers individual sparkles, holographic powder creates a seamless, mirror-like surface with an incredibly smooth finish, reflecting an entire rainbow spectrum that shifts with light.
How do I maintain the intense shine?
Daily cuticle oil application helps nourish your nails and cuticles, and wearing gloves for household tasks will protect the finish from chemicals and abrasions, helping to maintain its brilliant shine.
Is this damaging to natural nails?
When applied and, crucially, removed correctly by a trained professional, holographic gel manicures are not damaging to natural nails. Proper prep and gentle removal are key.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Keep nails moisturized and avoid prolonged water exposure immediately after application.
- ✓Protect your manicure from impact or excessive force that could cause damage.
- ✓Do not pick or peel your gel manicure, as this can damage your natural nail plate.
- ✓For removal, always seek professional assistance or follow proper gel removal techniques to preserve nail health.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top layer (top coat) of the design to break the seal, being careful not to file into the natural nail.
- 2.Soak cotton balls in pure acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently scrape off the softened gel and holographic powder with an orange wood stick or metal pusher, then lightly buff any residue.
