- 2. Apply a thin, even layer of clear gel base coat and cure according to product instructions.
- 3. Using a fine liner brush, meticulously outline the negative space areas and the primary design elements with Deep Teal gel polish, ensuring crisp edges for the 'photo-real' effect. Cure.
- 4. Fill in the opaque sections with the Deep Teal and Metallic Gold gel polishes, building thin layers for full opacity and vibrant color. Cure each color layer.
- 5. Add any final delicate details or accents with the metallic gold, ensuring all lines are precise and clean. Cure.

Expert Tip
For that truly 'photo-real' finish, ensure each line is drawn with absolute precision and build your color layers thinly to avoid bulkiness. A high-quality, self-leveling top coat is crucial for a glass-like shine that enhances the design's crispness.

Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water or harsh chemicals immediately after your appointment.
- ✓Moisturize your hands and cuticles regularly to keep the nail area supple and prolong your manicure's life.
- ✓Be gentle with your nails for the first 24 hours to allow the gel to fully settle and harden.
- ✓Protect your nails from excessive direct sunlight exposure right after curing to prevent potential fading.
Safe Removal
- 1.1. Gently file off the top coat and any major design elements to break the gel seal.
- 2.2. Soak cotton pads in 100% acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.3. Gently push off the softened gel with an orange wood stick; never force or peel, re-soak if necessary.
