- Prep nails: shape, push back cuticles, gently buff, and cleanse with alcohol.
- Apply a thin layer of gel base coat and cure under UV/LED lamp.
- Using sheer gel polishes and a fine detail brush, dab and blend small amounts of color onto the nail, working in thin, overlapping layers to create a soft, diffused watercolor effect.
- Continue layering and blending colors, allowing each layer to partially cure for controlled saturation, building up depth and the photo-real appearance.
- Once satisfied with the art, seal the entire design with a high-gloss, no-wipe gel top coat and fully cure.
- Cleanse any tacky residue and finish with cuticle oil for a professional look.
Techniques
Expert Tip
To achieve a truly photo-real watercolor effect, work with highly pigmented but sheer gel polishes, using minimal product and building color in very thin, almost translucent layers. This allows for seamless blending and creates the illusion of depth and fluidity.
