- Gel Base Coat
- Deep Charcoal Grey Gel Polish
- Opaque White Gel Polish
- Ultra-Fine Liner Brush (000 or similar)
- Non-Wipe Gel Top Coat
- LED/UV Curing Lamp
- Alcohol Wipes
- Prep nails: clean, file to desired shape (Crisp Square or Coffin), gently push back cuticles, and dehydrate the nail plate.
- Apply one thin, even layer of gel base coat and cure under LED/UV lamp for 30-60 seconds.
- Apply two thin coats of deep charcoal grey gel polish, curing each coat for 60 seconds. Ensure full, opaque coverage.
- Using an ultra-fine liner brush loaded with opaque white gel polish, meticulously paint the desired precision Stripes. Work slowly, ensuring each line is razor-sharp and consistent. Cure for 90 seconds after all stripes are complete.
- Seal the design with a generous layer of non-wipe gel top coat, ensuring it encapsulates all design elements for durability and a high-gloss photo-real finish. Cure for 60-120 seconds.
- Wipe nails with an alcohol wipe if necessary to remove any tacky layer (if using a regular gel top coat), then apply cuticle oil.
Expert Tip
Achieving the 'photo-real' crispness for these Stripes requires absolute patience and a very light hand with your fine liner brush. Dip your brush sparingly, ensure it's loaded just enough to create a continuous, thin line without pooling, and execute each stroke with unwavering control.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do these Salon Stripes Nails typically last?
With proper application and aftercare, your photo-real striped manicure, especially when done with gel polish, can last beautifully for 3-4 weeks without chipping or dulling.
Can I achieve this 'photo-real' effect at home?
While possible, achieving true 'photo-real' salon quality requires advanced precision, high-quality gel products, and specific tools like an ultra-fine liner brush and a strong curing lamp. It's challenging for beginners but rewarding for experienced DIYers.
Is this design suitable for shorter nails?
Absolutely! The precision and clean lines of these Salon Stripes look incredibly chic on shorter, well-maintained nails, enhancing their shape and offering a sophisticated touch without needing extreme length.
What if my lines aren't perfectly straight?
Perfection comes with practice. Don't be discouraged! Use a clean, dry detail brush dipped in a tiny amount of acetone to carefully 'clean up' any wobbly lines before curing. Thin layers and a steady hand are key.
Will the white stripes yellow over time?
High-quality opaque white gel polish sealed with a good non-yellowing top coat should maintain its crispness. Avoid prolonged exposure to strong UV light (like tanning beds) without a protective top coat.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid using your nails as tools to prevent chipping or damage.
- ✓Moisturize hands and nails regularly to maintain overall nail health.
- ✓Protect from prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top coat to break the seal.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone-soaked cotton pads wrapped in foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Carefully push off softened gel with a wooden stick; never peel or force.
