  • Ultra-fine detailing brushes (000, liner)
  • High-pigment gel polishes (black, white, chosen accent colors)
  • Gel base coat and no-wipe top coat
  • Magnifying lamp
  • Dotting tools for micro-elements
  1. Prepare nails (file, buff, cuticle care) and apply a gel base coat, cure.
  2. Apply 1-2 layers of a solid base color (e.g., charcoal gray or nude), curing each layer.
  3. Using an ultra-fine brush and a lighter gel polish (e.g., pure white), meticulously paint the primary intricate details and patterns, building up the design.
  4. Introduce secondary colors (e.g., deep teal or silver) with micro-detailing to add depth and accent specific elements, curing frequently to prevent smudging.
  5. Apply a high-gloss, no-wipe gel top coat, ensuring smooth coverage over all details, then cure thoroughly.
  6. Cleanse the nail surface if necessary and finish with cuticle oil.

Expert Tip

Achieving a photo-real finish requires exceptional patience and a steady hand. Use a magnifying lamp and rest your hand firmly to stabilize your movements for those microscopic details. Thinning your gel polish slightly with a gel mixing medium can also improve flow for finer lines.
