For truly photo-real results, build your filigree patterns in thin, precise layers, allowing each delicate line to partially cure before adding more detail. This ensures crisp definition and prevents colors from bleeding.

Aftercare Tips
- ✓Keep hands and nails moisturized with a quality hand cream to maintain skin and nail health.
- ✓Avoid picking or peeling at the gel polish, as this can damage your natural nail plate.
- ✓Protect your manicure from prolonged direct sunlight, which can sometimes dull colors or affect the top coat's shine.
- ✓Report any lifting, chipping, or issues to your nail artist promptly for professional repair.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently buff the top coat of each nail with a fine-grit file to break the seal, being careful not to file into the natural nail.
- 2.Soak cotton pads in 100% acetone, place them directly on the nail, and secure with foil wraps for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off the softened gel with an orange wood stick or metal pusher, never scraping or forcing, then moisturize with cuticle oil.
