To truly achieve that 'photo-real' salon quality, focus on meticulous nail preparation – perfectly shaped nails and pushed-back cuticles are key. Apply your pink gel in extremely thin, even layers to prevent bulkiness and ensure a smooth, ripple-free surface before applying a high-gloss, non-wipe top coat for unparalleled shine.
