Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Photo-Real Detailing Nail Art design typically last?

With proper application and diligent aftercare, your intricate Photo-Real Detailing design can last 3-4 weeks before needing a fill or complete removal, maintaining its pristine appearance.

Can I request a specific image or subject for my photo-real design?

Absolutely! We encourage clients to bring their inspiration. Our highly skilled artists can recreate a wide range of subjects, from miniature landscapes to intricate patterns, tailored to your vision.

Is this design heavy on the nails due to the detail?

No, despite its intricate appearance, the design uses very thin layers of high-quality gel, making it feel lightweight and comfortable, no different from a standard gel manicure in terms of weight.

Why is this advanced design more expensive than a regular manicure?

The higher cost reflects the significant time investment, specialized advanced skill, and specific tools required to achieve such a detailed and photo-realistic finish, ensuring true professional salon quality and artistry.

Will the intricate details fade or scratch off easily?

Not if properly sealed. We use high-quality, long-lasting gel polishes and a durable, scratch-resistant top coat specifically designed to protect the intricate details from fading, chipping, or scratching.

Can Photo-Real Detailing Nail Art be done on shorter nails?

While longer nails offer a larger canvas for maximum intricacy, a modified, perhaps less complex, photo-real detailing.design can still be beautifully created on shorter nails, focusing on key detailed elements.

Aftercare Tips

  • Allow the top coat to fully harden for several hours post-appointment before engaging in activities that could chip or scratch the design.
  • Keep hands and nails moisturized to prevent dry cuticles, which can detract from the overall pristine look.
  • Avoid picking or biting your nails, as this can damage the intricate photo-real detailing.
  • If a snag occurs, gently file the area with a fine-grit file, but avoid excessive filing over the detailed artwork.

Safe Removal

  • 1.Gently file off the glossy top layer to break the seal, being careful not to file into the natural nail.
  • 2.Soak nails in acetone for 10-15 minutes, or use gel wrap foils, until the gel is soft and lifts easily.
  • 3.Carefully push off the softened gel with an orange wood stick, then moisturize and nourish the nails thoroughly.
