- Apply a thin layer of gel base coat and cure under UV/LED lamp.
- Apply two even coats of your chosen background color (e.g., nude, light grey), curing each layer completely.
- Using a fine-tip brush and a contrasting gel polish (e.g., black or white), meticulously hand-draw intricate patterns, lines, or motifs. Cure briefly after completing each complex section to prevent smudging.
- Apply a generous, self-leveling layer of high-gloss, no-wipe top coat, ensuring it encapsulates all detailing for a smooth, 'photo-real' finish.
- Cure the top coat thoroughly according to manufacturer instructions and, if necessary, cleanse with alcohol.
Expert Tip
Achieving a truly photo-real finish hinges on impeccable polish application, zero smudges, and perfectly consistent line work. Practice your fine lines on a nail tip before applying directly to ensure flawless execution and crisp patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this Photo-Real Detailing design last?
With proper application and diligent aftercare, your Photo-Real Detailing Nails can last 2-3 weeks, similar to a standard gel manicure.
Is it possible to customize the patterns and designs?
Absolutely! This design is highly customizable, allowing for unique patterns, monograms, abstract motifs, or delicate line art tailored to your personal style.
Will the intricate detailing smudge or chip easily?
No, once properly cured with a high-quality, high-gloss top coat, the intricate detailing is sealed and protected, making it quite durable against everyday wear.
Can this design be done on shorter nails?
While possible, the full impact and intricate detailing are best appreciated on medium to long nail lengths, as it provides ample canvas for the artistry.
What makes it 'photo-real'?
The term 'photo-real' refers to the exceptionally smooth, seamless finish, crisp, clean lines, and absence of texture, mimicking a perfectly printed photograph for a flawless, high-definition look.
Is this design high maintenance?
The initial application requires significant skill and time, but the ongoing maintenance is similar to any gel manicure – daily cuticle oil and protection from harsh elements will keep them looking pristine.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid prolonged water exposure and harsh chemicals for the first 24 hours after your service.
- ✓Do not pick, peel, or bite at your new manicure to prevent damage to the natural nail and the design.
- ✓Moisturize your hands and cuticles regularly to keep them hydrated and healthy.
- ✓Contact your technician immediately if you experience any lifting, chipping, or discomfort.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently buff off the top layer of your manicure to break the seal, being careful not to over-file the natural nail.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone using cotton balls and foil wraps for 10-15 minutes, or until the product has softened.
- 3.Carefully push off the softened product with an orange wood stick or cuticle pusher, avoiding force. Never peel or forcefully remove the gel.
