Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this Stiletto Length manicure last?
With proper application of builder gel and diligent aftercare, your photo-real stiletto nails can last 3-4 weeks before requiring a fill or rebalance.
Are stiletto nails practical for daily tasks?
While stunning, the extreme length and sharp point of stiletto nails can require some adjustment for daily tasks. Practice and care are key to managing them comfortably.
Can I get this design in a different length?
The 'stiletto' shape is defined by its pointed tip, which is most dramatic at longer lengths. While a shorter stiletto is possible, the 'photo-real' impact is best achieved with a prominent, extended length.
What if I chip a nail?
Builder gel is very durable, but extreme impacts can cause chips. We recommend returning to the salon for a professional repair to maintain the flawless look and structural integrity.
Is the 'espresso nude' color customizable?
Absolutely! We can work with you to find a perfect deep nude or brown shade that complements your skin tone and personal style, while maintaining the photo-real finish.
How do you achieve such a 'photo-real' finish?
It's a combination of meticulous nail prep, precise builder gel sculpting, flawless, streak-free gel polish application, and a high-quality, ultra-glossy top coat applied with expert technique.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Hydrate your cuticles daily with a nourishing cuticle oil to keep them healthy and enhance the longevity of your gel polish.
- ✓Steer clear of acetone-based removers near the gel, as it can dull the finish or compromise the gel's adhesion.
- ✓Protect your nails from prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures, which can affect the gel's durability.
Safe Removal
- 1.Professional soak-off is highly recommended to safely remove builder gel and prevent damage to your natural nails.
- 2.Avoid peeling or prying off the gel, as this can severely weaken and strip layers from your nail plate.
- 3.Gently file down the top coat's shine before soaking to help the removal solution penetrate more effectively.
