Frequently Asked Questions
What makes these 'photo-real'?
It's the meticulous layering of multiple gel polish shades using different sponges and techniques to create an almost 3D, textured effect that truly mimics the natural appearance of a sponge, complete with pores and varied density.
Is the design durable given its texture?
Yes, when properly encapsulated with a professional top coat (especially gel), the textured layers are protected, ensuring excellent durability comparable to other gel nail art designs.
Can I achieve this look at home?
While you can attempt basic sponging, the 'photo-real' salon quality and intricate depth of this specific Sponge.Design require advanced techniques, specialized tools, and professional gel products best executed by a skilled nail artist.
Will the texture catch on things easily?
The design is sealed smoothly with a top coat, minimizing any rough edges. While it has visual texture, it shouldn't snag any more than other raised or embellished nail art.
What's the best finish for this design?
A glossy top coat enhances the multi-dimensional depth and makes the 'sponge' look vibrant, almost wet. A matte finish, however, can provide a more organic, dry, and tactilely realistic sponge appearance.
Can I customize the colors?
Absolutely! The beauty of this design is its adaptability. We can work with you to choose a palette that reflects your personal style or a specific inspiration, from earthy tones to vibrant marine hues.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Moisturize hands and cuticles regularly to prevent dryness and maintain flexibility.
- ✓Wear gloves when doing household chores or gardening to protect the integrity of the design.
- ✓Be gentle with your nails; textured designs can sometimes catch on fabrics.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top coat to break the seal of the gel polish.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone for 10-15 minutes, or until the gel is soft enough to gently push off.
- 3.Carefully scrape off the softened gel using a wooden or metal cuticle pusher, avoiding force.
