Expert Tip
Achieving a 'photo-real' effect requires not just steady hands, but an understanding of light and shadow. Use very thin layers of highly pigmented gel paint and build up your design gradually. Don't be afraid to mix custom shades for subtle transitions, and always ensure each layer is fully cured to prevent smudging and maintain crisp lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the 'photo-real' detailing last?
With proper application and aftercare, this gel design can last 2-3 weeks without chipping or fading, just like any professional gel manicure.
Can I choose a different flower or subject for the detailing?
Absolutely! This design is highly customizable. Discuss your preferred botanical or micro-detailing subject with your artist to create a truly bespoke look.
Why is this design more expensive than a regular gel manicure?
The 'photo-real' aspect requires significant artistic skill, specialized ultra-fine brushes, and a considerable amount of dedicated time for the intricate hand-painting and layering, which increases the service cost.
Is this design suitable for shorter nails?
While possible on shorter nails, medium to long lengths provide more canvas space, allowing for greater detail and impact for the sophisticated photo-real elements.
Will the detailed art smudge easily?
No, as each layer of gel paint is cured under a lamp, the design is durable and sealed. Once the final top coat is applied and cured, the art is fully protected.
Can I get this design on all my nails?
While typically an accent nail design due to its intricacy and cost, it's possible to apply the detailing to all nails if desired, simply budget for more time and cost.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid using nails as tools to prevent chipping or lifting.
- ✓Moisturize hands and nails regularly to prevent dryness.
- ✓Limit prolonged exposure to hot water (e.g., long baths, dishwashing without gloves).
Safe Removal
- 1.Professional soak-off is highly recommended to protect natural nails.
- 2.Gently file off the top coat to break the seal.
- 3.Soak nails in acetone-soaked cotton wrapped in foil for 10-15 minutes, then gently push off softened product.
