- **Prep & Prime:** Gently push back and trim cuticles. Lightly buff the natural nail surface to remove shine and ensure adhesion. Cleanse nails thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol.
- **Base Coat Application:** Apply a thin, even layer of gel base coat. Cure under a UV/LED lamp according to product instructions (typically 30-60 seconds).
- **Perfect Pink Layers:** Apply a very thin, even coat of your chosen Ballet Slipper Pink gel polish, ensuring full coverage without flooding the cuticles. Cure. Repeat for a second, equally thin and even coat to achieve the opaque 'photo-real' finish, then cure again.
- **Seal with Shine:** Apply a flawless, medium-thin layer of high-gloss, no-wipe gel top coat, capping the free edge. Cure for the recommended time (e.g., 60-120 seconds) to lock in that intense shine.
- **Final Polish:** If using a wipe-off top coat, remove the tacky layer with a lint-free wipe saturated in cleanser. Finish with a nourishing cuticle oil around each nail.

Expert Tip
The secret to this photo-real finish lies in meticulous prep and applying ultra-thin, even coats of gel polish. Flooding the cuticles or applying thick layers will compromise the smooth, salon-perfect look you're aiming for. Cap the free edge with every coat for maximum longevity and chip resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do Photo-Real Salon Pink Nails typically last?
With proper gel application and aftercare, they can last 2-3 weeks without chipping or dulling.
Can I achieve this look with regular nail polish?
While you can get a beautiful pink, the 'photo-real' high gloss, chip-free durability and extreme smoothness are best achieved with gel polish.
Is this design suitable for very short nails?
Absolutely! The clean, opaque pink finish looks incredibly chic and polished on short nails, making them appear neat and well-groomed.
What if my pink looks streaky?
Streaking often occurs from applying polish too thickly or not allowing enough cure time. Apply thinner coats and ensure each layer is fully cured for an even pink finish.
How can I ensure maximum shine?
Use a high-quality, no-wipe gel top coat and ensure it is fully cured under your lamp. Avoid lotions or oils on the nail surface immediately after curing to maintain that photo-real gloss.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓For the first 24 hours, treat your new manicure gently; avoid heavy lifting or prolonged submersion in water.
- ✓Moisturize hands and nails regularly to maintain skin health around your immaculate nails.
- ✓Schedule your next appointment every 2-3 weeks to maintain fresh, healthy-looking nails.
Safe Removal
- 1.**Buff Top Coat:** Gently buff the top layer of the gel polish with a fine-grit file until the shine is completely removed. Be careful not to file into the natural nail.
- 2.**Soak Off:** Saturate cotton balls in 100% pure acetone, place them on each nail, and secure with foil wraps. Allow to soak for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.**Gentle Removal:** Gently push off the loosened gel with a wood stick or metal pusher. If any gel remains, re-soak; never force or peel it off to protect your natural nail.
