Expert Tip
Achieving truly photo-real galaxy nails requires patience and thin layering. Build your colors gradually with sheerer gel polishes for depth, and ensure each layer, especially the white detailing for nebulae and stars, is fully cured to prevent blurring before applying the top coat.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will this photo-real galaxy design last?
With professional gel application and proper aftercare, your sophisticated galaxy nails can last 2-3 weeks without chipping or fading.
Can I choose different colors for the nebulae?
Absolutely! We can customize the nebulae colors to your preference, creating a unique cosmic palette while maintaining the design's intricate and sophisticated feel.
Is this design suitable for shorter nails?
While the full intricate detail is best showcased on medium to long nails, we can adapt a simplified yet still stunning version for shorter lengths.
Is this design hand-painted?
Yes, the photo-real galaxy effect, including the blending, nebulae, and individual stars, is achieved through meticulous hand-painting techniques by a skilled artist.
Will the stars and colors fade over time?
With a high-quality, UV-protected gel top coat, the vibrant colors and sparkling stars are sealed in, ensuring they remain brilliant for the duration of your manicure.
What if I prefer a matte finish for my galaxy nails?
We can certainly apply a matte top coat for a different, yet equally dramatic and sophisticated 'deep space' effect that beautifully enhances the cosmic artistry.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Keep nails moisturized, especially after hand washing.
- ✓Avoid picking or peeling the gel polish, as this can damage your natural nails.
- ✓Use non-acetone products for any incidental polish removal on skin.
- ✓Be mindful of prolonged exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight, which can sometimes fade colors.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the shiny top coat layer to break the seal.
- 2.Soak cotton pads in acetone, place them directly on each nail, and wrap securely with foil.
- 3.After 10-15 minutes, gently push off the softened gel with an orange wood stick.
- 4.Lightly buff any remaining residue and apply cuticle oil to rehydrate.
