Expert Tip
Achieving a 'photo-real' finish for intricate designs like this Royal.Design requires extremely thin layers of polish, especially when hand-painting details. Overloading your brush will lead to clumpy lines and compromise the crispness, so load sparingly and build your design with precision.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this intricate royal blue and gold design typically last?
With proper gel application and aftercare, this Royal Blue & Gold Filigree design can last beautifully for 3-4 weeks without chipping or fading, maintaining its photo-real salon quality.
Can I request different patterns for the gold filigree?
Absolutely! The beauty of hand-painting means the intricate gold filigree pattern can be customized to your preference, from more geometric to softer, swirling motifs, while keeping the professional salon quality.
Is it possible to achieve this design at home for a beginner?
Due to the advanced fine-line hand-painting and precision required for the photo-real finish, this particular design is highly recommended for professional salon application rather than a DIY attempt by beginners.
Will the gold details fade over time?
When sealed correctly with a high-quality gel top coat, the metallic gold details are protected and will retain their brilliance throughout the wear of your manicure.
Can this design be done on shorter nails?
While the almond or coffin shape on medium to long nails best showcases the intricate filigree, a simplified version of the design can be adapted for shorter nails, focusing on key elements to maintain its regal essence.
Is this design available with acrylics or dip powder?
Yes, the Royal Blue & Gold Filigree design can be executed over acrylic or dip powder enhancements, using gel polishes for the color and art to achieve that clean, photo-real finish.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Keep nails dry for the first few hours post-application to ensure proper curing and adhesion.
- ✓Moisturize hands and cuticles regularly to maintain skin health and overall nail appearance.
- ✓Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water, which can sometimes reduce the longevity of gel polish.
- ✓Do not pick or peel at the polish; allow for professional removal to protect natural nails.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently buff the top layer of the glossy top coat to break the seal.
- 2.Soak cotton pads in acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Carefully scrape off the softened gel with an orange wood stick, then gently buff any remaining residue.
