Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular nail polish instead of gel?

While possible, gel polish provides a longer-lasting and more durable finish, crucial for a special event like a wedding. Regular polish may chip easily.

How long will this design last?

With proper application and care, gel polish can last up to two weeks without chipping.

Can I add other embellishments?

Yes, consider adding small pearls or crystals for extra sparkle, but keep it minimal to maintain the elegant aesthetic.

Is it easy to remove the gel polish?

Gel polish requires proper removal with acetone. It's best to have it professionally removed to avoid damage to your natural nails.

Can I do this design on short nails?

Yes, but the effect is best on medium length. Short nails may not have enough space to display the subtle shading and foil details effectively.

How can I make the gold accents really pop?

Apply a very thin layer of clear builder gel to the area where the foil will sit. This will help the foil adhere better and provide a more reflective surface.

Aftercare Tips

  • Moisturize your hands and cuticles regularly.
  • Avoid using your nails as tools.
  • Schedule a professional gel removal to prevent damage to your natural nails.

Safe Removal

  • 1.Gently file the top coat to break the seal.
  • 2.Soak cotton pads in acetone, place them on the nails, and wrap with foil for 10-15 minutes.
