Cure after each detailed element to prevent bleeding.

Expert Tip
Achieving a truly 'photo-real' effect requires patience and building depth with multiple thin layers of gel paint. Work with a steady hand and ensure adequate curing between each layer to maintain crisp lines and prevent smudging of the sophisticated details.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this photo-real wedding nail design last?
With proper gel application and care, this sophisticated design can last 3-4 weeks, perfectly covering your wedding and honeymoon.
Can I customize the intricate patterns?
Absolutely! The 'photo-real' aspect means we can often mimic patterns from your wedding dress, veil, or even floral arrangements for a truly personalized touch.
Is this design suitable for short nails?
While intricate photo-real details benefit from a bit more length, we can adapt sophisticated elements for shorter nails, perhaps focusing on one accent nail.
What makes this 'photo-real'?
It refers to the extreme level of detail, precision, and layering used to create an illusion of depth and realism, making patterns appear almost photographic.
Will the detailed art chip easily?
No, the intricate art is encapsulated under a durable layer of builder gel and a high-shine top coat, providing excellent protection against chipping.
How far in advance should I book for my wedding nails?
We recommend booking your consultation and appointment 4-6 weeks before your wedding day to allow for design finalization and ensure availability.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Keep nails moisturized to prevent dryness around the detailed artwork.
- ✓Gently clean under nails to prevent dirt buildup that can detract from the sophisticated look.
- ✓Report any lifting or damage to your nail technician promptly for professional repair.
Safe Removal
- 1.**Gently File:** File off the top coat to break the seal, being careful not to file into the natural nail or intricate design.
- 2.**Soak:** Soak nails in acetone-soaked cotton pads wrapped in foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.**Scrape & Buff:** Gently push off softened gel with a wooden cuticle stick. Buff the natural nail smooth, avoiding harsh scraping to preserve nail health.
