Expert Tip

To truly achieve the 'photo-real' effect, focus on precision in your glitter application. Use very fine glitter, and build up thin, even layers. The key is thorough encapsulation with a crystal-clear gel or acrylic, followed by meticulous filing and a high-gloss top coat, ensuring zero texture and maximum light reflection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does this photo-real glitter design last?

With professional application and proper aftercare, this design can last 3-4 weeks before needing a fill or removal, maintaining its exquisite shine.

Is the glitter rough or textured on the nail?

No, the 'photo-real' aspect means the glitter is fully encapsulated within a smooth gel or acrylic layer, creating a perfectly smooth, glass-like surface with no texture.

Can I get this design in a shorter length?

Absolutely! While medium-long lengths showcase the depth best, this sophisticated design can be adapted to shorter nails, still providing beautiful sparkle and elegance.

Does this design damage natural nails?

When applied and removed by a certified professional, this design should not damage your natural nails. We prioritize nail health and proper techniques.

Is it possible to have a more subtle version of this design?

Yes, we can adjust the density of the glitter application for a more understated sparkle, or apply it as an accent on only one or two nails for a hint of sophistication.

What's the difference between this and regular glitter nails?

Regular glitter nails often involve glitter simply mixed into polish or applied topically. Our 'photo-real' technique involves meticulous layering and full encapsulation of ultra-fine glitter to create unparalleled depth, smoothness, and a high-end, photographic finish.

  • 3.Soak nails in acetone for 10-15 minutes, then gently push off softened product.
