Expert Tip
For that truly photo-real, flawless finish, ensure each pink gel layer is applied as thinly and evenly as possible to avoid bulkiness, and fully cure between coats to prevent dullness or lifting. A high-quality non-wipe top coat is essential for achieving maximum, long-lasting shine.

Can I achieve this specific photo-real finish at home?

How can I prevent chipping or dullness with this photo-real design?

Will this specific pink shade complement all skin tones?
This salon pink, with its neutral-leaning undertones, is generally designed to be universally flattering. Its classic appeal makes it a versatile choice that complements a wide range of complexions beautifully.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Immediately after application, avoid hot water, saunas, or prolonged chemical exposure for the first few hours to allow the gel to fully settle.
- ✓Keep your hands and nails moisturized with a good quality hand cream to support overall nail health and skin hydration.
- ✓Gently push back cuticles regularly with an orange wood stick after showering to maintain a neat and professional look.
- ✓Protect your manicure from prolonged direct sun exposure, which can sometimes dull the high-gloss finish or slightly alter the pink shade over time.
Safe Removal
- 1.1. Gently buff the glossy top coat with a fine-grit file to break the seal, without filing into the natural nail.
- 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 polish with an orange wood stick, never scraping forcefully; repeat soaking if necessary.
