Expert Tip
For the most photo-real effect, build your nebula colors with very thin, translucent layers, dabbing and blending gently with a sponge. Don't overdo the white stars; less is often more to maintain depth and realism in your galaxy design.

Aftercare Tips
- ✓Keep nails dry for the first few hours after application to allow the top coat to fully settle and harden.
- ✓Moisturize hands and cuticles regularly to maintain skin health and ensure your nails look their best.
- ✓Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat, such as long hot showers or saunas, immediately after your appointment.
- ✓Refrain from picking or peeling the polish, as this can severely damage your natural nails beneath the gel.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently buff or file off the top coat of each nail to break the seal, being careful not to file into the natural nail.
- 2.Soak cotton balls in 100% pure acetone, place one on each nail, and wrap tightly with aluminum foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off the softened gel polish with a wooden cuticle stick. If any residue remains, re-soak rather than forcing it off.
