  • Ultra-fine detail brushes (000, liner)
  • Highly pigmented gel paints
  • Non-wipe glossy top coat
  • Base coat and builder gel (for strength)
  • UV/LED curing lamp
  • Palette for mixing colors
  1. Prep nails and apply base coat, then a neutral background color (e.g., milky white or soft nude), curing each layer.
  2. Using a fine liner brush and gel paint, lightly sketch the main outline of your chosen floral element (e.g., rose petals, leaf veins).
  3. Begin layering and blending colors, starting with lighter shades and gradually adding deeper tones for shading and dimension, curing after each major color addition.
  4. Add intricate details: fine lines for thorns, dew drops, delicate veins, or tiny pistils, ensuring a photo-real effect with precise strokes.
  5. Apply a high-gloss non-wipe top coat to encapsulate the artwork and enhance its lifelike appearance, then cure thoroughly.
  6. Cleanse around the cuticles and apply cuticle oil to nourish and complete the salon-quality finish.

Expert Tip

Achieving a 'photo-real' finish hinges on mastering thin layers and subtle color transitions. Build up your design gradually, curing each layer to prevent bleeding, and use a magnifying lamp for ultimate precision in your Hand Painting.
