- Prepare nails by shaping, buffing, and cleaning. Apply a thin layer of gel base coat and cure.
- Apply two thin, even coats of the creamy white gel polish, curing each layer thoroughly for opaque coverage.
- On desired accent nails (typically ring fingers), apply a thin layer of clear gel or a second, uncured coat of top coat. Carefully pick up and strategically place small gold foil flakes onto the tacky surface.
- Encapsulate the gold flakes and achieve the 'photo-real' finish by applying a generous, self-leveling layer of high-gloss gel top coat over all nails, ensuring flakes are fully submerged and the surface is perfectly smooth. Cure completely.
- Wipe off the inhibition layer with a gel cleanser for a brilliant, non-tacky shine and apply cuticle oil.
Expert Tip
Achieving the 'photo-real' finish is all about precise gold flake placement and a perfectly smooth, self-leveled top coat. Ensure flakes lay flat and apply enough top coat to fully encapsulate them without creating bulk, then cure thoroughly for maximum shine and durability.
