Frequently Asked Questions
Are actual rhinestones used in this design?
No, this is an advanced hand-painted illusion design that mimics the look and sparkle of rhinestones using specialized gel techniques, not physical embellishments.

Can I customize the 'rhinestone' pattern or size?
Absolutely! The beauty of this hand-painted technique is its complete customizability. We can adjust the density, size, and arrangement of the 'rhinestones' to perfectly suit your preference.
Why is this design more expensive than a regular manicure?
The Photo-Real Rhinestone Illusion requires significant artistic skill, precision, and time due to the intricate layering and detailed fine-liner work involved, reflecting its premium price.

Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid using nails as tools to prevent chipping or damage.
- ✓Moisturize hands regularly to maintain skin health around your beautiful nails.
- ✓Do not pick or peel at the gel, as this can damage your natural nail plate.

- 3.Carefully push off the softened gel with a cuticle pusher and gently buff any residue.
