- Prep nails and apply gel base coat, curing under UV/LED lamp. Apply 2-3 thin coats of chosen nude or soft grey gel polish, curing each layer.
- Using a fine-line brush and black or white gel art paint, meticulously hand-paint the intricate photo-real lace pattern onto the nail surface. Cure briefly to set the delicate design.

- Wipe nails with an alcohol solution for a pristine, professional salon-quality shine and to remove any sticky residue.
Expert Tip
For true photo-realism, study real lace or botanical images for reference. Practice on nail tips first to master the fine brushwork and ensure perfectly even, micro-thin lines. A magnifier can be your best friend for intricate detail work and precise embellishment placement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the photo-real lace design typically last?
With professional application and proper aftercare, this design can last 2-3 weeks before needing an infill or removal, much like a standard gel manicure.
Are the micro-crystals comfortable, or do they snag?
When applied by a professional, micro-crystals are meticulously sealed with top coat, ensuring a smooth finish that is comfortable and resistant to snagging on clothing or hair.
Can I get this design on shorter nails?
While medium to long nails best showcase the intricate lace pattern, a modified, less dense version of the photo-real design can be adapted for shorter nail lengths, focusing on a single, impactful motif.
Is the lace pattern hand-painted or a sticker?
For a true 'photo-real salon embellished' quality, the intricate lace pattern is meticulously hand-painted by a skilled artist, allowing for unparalleled detail and customization.
What if I only want embellishments on one nail?
Absolutely! This sophisticated design is fully customizable. You can opt for the full photo-real lace and crystal treatment on all nails, or choose to have it as an accent on 1-2 fingers per hand.
Will the embellishments lose their sparkle over time?
With proper encapsulation and top coat, the sparkle of the micro-crystals should remain vibrant throughout the wear of your manicure. Avoid harsh cleaning agents to preserve their brilliance.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓After application, avoid prolonged hot water exposure or harsh chemicals for the first 24 hours.
- ✓Moisturize hands and nails regularly to keep the surrounding skin healthy.
- ✓Resist picking or biting at the embellishments; this can compromise the entire design.
- ✓If an embellishment loosens, visit your salon promptly for a quick repair to prevent further damage.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently buff the top layer of the gel to break the seal, paying extra attention around the embellished areas.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone-soaked cotton wraps (secured with foil) for 10-15 minutes, allowing the gel to lift. Avoid direct scrubbing of embellishments.
- 3.Carefully push off softened gel with a wooden stick. Moisturize and rehydrate nails and cuticles thoroughly.
