Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular nail polish instead of gel?
Yes, but the longevity and crispness of the design may be affected.
What if I don't have a fine liner brush?
You can use a toothpick or a very thin paintbrush, but a fine liner brush is recommended for best results.
How do I prevent the heart outlines from bleeding?
Apply thin coats of polish and cure quickly after each coat.
Can I do this design on short nails?
Yes, but the hearts will be smaller and may require even more precision.
How long will this manicure last?
With proper application and care, gel manicures can last up to two weeks.
Are gel polishes damaging to nails?
Gel polishes are not inherently damaging but improper removal can weaken nails.
