It's a true salon masterpiece designed for those who appreciate unparalleled detail and sophisticated luxury.
- High-quality gel polish in nude/pastel base shades
- Ultra-fine detail brushes (e.g., 000, liner brush)
- Artist's palette for color mixing
- Tiny, flat-back Swarovski crystals or pearls
- Strong nail art adhesive gel/resin
- Non-wipe top coat
- UV/LED curing lamp
- **Nail Prep & Base Application**: File, buff, push cuticles, dehydrate. Apply a gel base coat and cure. Apply 1-2 coats of your chosen nude/pastel base color, curing each layer.
- **Photo-Real Micro-Painting**: Using ultra-fine brushes and selected gel polishes, meticulously hand-paint the intricate, photo-realistic details (e.g., delicate petals, lace segments, tiny leaves). Cure lightly after each complex layer to lock in detail.
- **Embellishment Placement**: Apply a tiny dot of strong nail art adhesive gel where each embellishment will go. Carefully place tiny crystals or pearls using a wax-tipped tool, embedding them slightly for security. Flash cure briefly to hold in place.
- **Seal & Finish**: Encapsulate the embellishments with a thin layer of builder gel or specialized embellishment top coat for extra security, if needed, avoiding covering the entire gem surface if it's meant to sparkle. Finish with a high-shine non-wipe top coat over the entire nail, ensuring smooth coverage around painted areas and embellishments.
- **Final Cure & Aftercare**: Perform a full final cure under the UV/LED lamp. Cleanse with alcohol if using a wipe-off top coat, then apply cuticle oil for a perfect finish.
Expert Tip
Achieving photo-realism requires patience and a light hand. Work in thin layers, gradually building up color and shadow. Use a high-quality artist's detail brush and ensure your gel polishes are well-pigmented for sharp lines and vibrant results.

Aftercare Tips
- ✓Keep your hands and nails moisturized, especially around the cuticles, to maintain nail health and flexibility.
- ✓Wear gloves for household chores and avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals to prevent lifting or dulling of your beautiful design.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top coat and any encapsulating gel over the embellishments, being careful not to file into the natural nail.
- 2.Soak cotton pads in acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Carefully push off the softened gel with a wooden cuticle pusher. Repeat soaking if necessary, never force or peel the gel.
