Achieving the 'photo-real' finish hinges on thin, precise layers and a perfectly cured, ultra-glossy top coat. For razor-sharp lines, ensure your detail brush isn't overloaded with polish and work with light, steady strokes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my Photo-Real Geometric Nails last?
With professional application and proper aftercare, this salon-quality gel design typically lasts 3-4 weeks without chipping or dulling.
What makes this design 'photo-real'?
The 'photo-real' aspect comes from the extreme precision of the geometric lines, the perfectly opaque colors, and the flawless, mirror-like high-gloss finish that creates an almost three-dimensional, high-definition visual effect.
Can this design be done on shorter nails?
While possible, the intricate geometric patterns and 'photo-real' detail are best showcased on medium to long nail lengths where there's ample canvas for the design to truly shine.
Is this a freehand design or does it use stencils?
Achieving this level of 'photo-real' precision often involves a combination of highly skilled freehand painting with ultra-fine brushes and sometimes strategic use of striping tape for the sharpest, straightest lines, all executed by a professional.
What's the best way to choose colors for a geometric design?
For a 'photo-real' effect, high-contrast colors (like our suggested nude and black) work best to make the geometric patterns pop. Alternatively, a sophisticated monochromatic scheme with varying shades can also create a stunning effect.
Why is this design more expensive than a basic manicure?
The higher cost reflects the extensive time, advanced skill, specialized tools (fine detail brushes, specific gels), and meticulous precision required to create such an intricate and flawless 'photo-real' geometric masterpiece.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Wear gloves when doing household chores or gardening to protect your manicure from harsh chemicals and physical abrasion.
- ✓Gently moisturize your hands and nails regularly to keep them healthy and the polish looking fresh.
- ✓Avoid prolonged exposure to extremely hot water immediately after application, as this can sometimes affect gel polish adhesion.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top coat to break the seal, being careful not to file into your natural nail.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone for 10-15 minutes until the gel lifts, or use a professional nail steamer.
- 3.Gently push off softened gel with a cuticle pusher. Do not peel or force it, then rehydrate with cuticle oil.
