- **Nail Preparation & Base Application**: Clean, shape, and buff nails. Apply a primer and base coat, then cure each layer according to product instructions.
- **Foundation & Gel Overlay**: Apply 1-2 coats of a chosen base color (e.g., Pearl White or Onyx Black) and cure each. Apply a thin layer of clear builder gel for a smooth, robust canvas, curing thoroughly.
- **Photo-Real Artistry**: Using ultra-fine detail brushes and highly pigmented gel paints, meticulously hand-paint 'Queen'-inspired motifs such as miniature crowns, ornate filigree, or draped fabric textures. Build layers for a multi-dimensional, realistic effect, curing between each color application.
- **Shading & Highlighting**: Add depth and realism by introducing subtle shading with darker gel paints and precise highlights with lighter, metallic gel paints or chrome powders to mimic light reflection on jewels or metal.
- **Flawless Finish**: Apply a high-gloss, no-wipe top coat, ensuring a smooth, even application over all intricate details. Cure fully for a long-lasting, photo-real shine and enhanced durability.
