Achieving photo-realism requires patience and a steady hand. Use very thin layers of highly pigmented gel polish and cure after each major detail to build depth and prevent smudging, effectively 'locking in' your progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a photo-real floral design last?
With proper application and aftercare, this gel design can last typically 2-3 weeks without chipping or fading, maintaining its photo-real beauty.
Can I customize the type of flowers in the design?
Absolutely! Our artists can hand-paint a wide variety of flowers, from classic roses and peonies to exotic orchids, tailored to your preference and the available nail space.
Is this design suitable for shorter nails?
While longer nails provide more canvas for intricate detail, skilled artists can adapt this design for shorter nails by focusing on smaller, singular blooms or partial motifs.
Why is this design more expensive than a regular manicure?
The cost reflects the significant time, advanced artistic skill, and specialized fine-detail tools required to meticulously hand-paint each photo-realistic floral element.
Can I attempt this design at home?
Due to the advanced level of detail and specific gel application techniques, this design is best left to professional nail artists to achieve the desired photo-realistic and salon-quality finish.
Does the design feel textured?
No, despite the layers of art, a professional top coat encapsulates the design, leaving a smooth, high-gloss finish that feels like a standard gel manicure.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid immediate prolonged exposure to hot water or steam after your appointment to allow the gel to fully settle.
- ✓Do not pick or peel at your nails; this can damage the natural nail plate and ruin the design.
- ✓If a chip occurs, visit your salon promptly for a professional repair to prevent further damage.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top layer of the gel top coat to break the seal.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone-soaked cotton pads wrapped in foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Carefully push off the softened gel with an orange wood stick, avoiding scraping the natural nail.
