  3. Using various pastel gel paints and ultra-fine detail brushes, meticulously paint realistic spring floral elements, layering colors for depth and natural shading. Cure each layer.
  4. Add intricate details, highlights, and delicate outlines with white and black gel art paint to achieve the 'photo-real' effect, curing after each significant detail.

Expert Tip

Achieving a true 'photo-real' effect requires patience and building up layers of color, light, and shadow. Utilize very thin layers of gel paint and cure thoroughly after each detail to prevent bleeding and ensure crisp lines.

Aftercare Tips

  • Keep nails dry and free from excessive moisture for the first few hours immediately following your appointment.
  • Moisturize your hands and cuticles regularly to prevent dryness and keep the surrounding skin healthy.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat directly on your nails, which can compromise the gel polish.
  • If any lifting, chipping, or damage occurs, contact your nail technician promptly for professional repair.

Safe Removal

  • 1.Gently file off the shiny top coat layer of the gel polish to break the seal, being careful not to file into the natural nail.
  • 2.Place acetone-soaked cotton pads directly onto each nail and secure with foil wraps for 10-15 minutes.
  • 3.Gently push off the softened gel polish with an orange wood stick. Do not force or peel. Re-soak if necessary until the gel slides off easily.
