Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this 'photo-real' compared to regular stamping?
Photo-real stamping uses extremely fine, deeply etched stamping plates that capture intricate details, textures, and shading, giving the impression of a photograph or highly detailed drawing on your nail.
Is photo-real stamping difficult to achieve at home?
Due to the precision required for picking up and transferring such fine details, and the use of specialized products, achieving true salon-quality photo-real results at home can be challenging and is best left to experienced nail artists.
How long does a photo-real stamping manicure last?
With proper application of quality products and a good top coat, your photo-real stamping design can last 2-3 weeks, especially when applied over gel polish or acrylics.
Can I use any nail polish for photo-real stamping?
No, specialized stamping polishes are essential. They are highly pigmented and formulated to dry slower on the plate but transfer quickly, which is critical for capturing the intricate details of photo-real designs.
What kind of designs are available in photo-real stamping?
The possibilities are vast! From intricate floral patterns and realistic animal portraits to architectural details, abstract art, and even miniature landscapes, photo-real plates offer an incredible range of sophisticated imagery.
Does this technique damage my natural nails?
No, when applied and removed correctly by a professional, photo-real stamping is a non-damaging nail art technique. It simply adds a layer of design over your base polish.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Allow your top coat to fully cure/dry before engaging in activities that could chip or smudge the design.
- ✓Avoid using your nails as tools to prevent damage to the delicate stamped image.
- ✓Apply cuticle oil daily to maintain nail health and flexibility, preventing premature lifting.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently buff off the top coat to break the seal.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone (for gel or acrylic) or use non-acetone remover for regular polish, ensuring a complete and gentle removal.
- 3.Moisturize nails and cuticles thoroughly after removal to rehydrate.
