Frequently Asked Questions

How do I achieve a photo-real finish?

Using high-quality gel polishes, applying thin, even coats, and ensuring proper curing under a UV/LED lamp are crucial. A glossy top coat also enhances the effect.

Can I do this design with regular nail polish?

While possible, achieving the same photo-real finish is more challenging with regular polish. Gel polish provides a smoother, more durable finish.

What if I'm not good at fine details?

Practice on a nail wheel first to improve your technique. You can also use stencils or decals to create more intricate designs.

How long will this design last?

With proper application and aftercare, this gel manicure can last up to two weeks without chipping or peeling.

What is the best way to remove gel polish without damaging my nails?

Soak your nails in acetone after gently filing the top coat. Avoid picking or scraping the polish off, as this can damage the nail bed.

Yes! Adapt the shape and length to suit your personal preference. Shorter nails can still achieve a beautiful and elegant look.
