Expert Tip
Achieving photo-realism requires immense patience and very thin, translucent layers of highly pigmented gel. Build your scene gradually, focusing on the interplay of light and shadow, and curing each detail precisely to prevent blurring and maximize depth.

Aftercare Tips
- ✓Moisturize hands and cuticles thoroughly after your appointment to prolong the life of your manicure.
- ✓Avoid picking or biting your nails, as this can compromise the gel layers.
- ✓If you notice any lifting, refrain from picking and contact your nail artist for a repair.
- ✓Protect your nails from excessive impact or pressure to preserve the detailed design.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file down the glossy top coat to break the seal, being careful not to file into the natural nail.
- 2.Soak cotton pads in acetone, place them directly on the nail, and wrap each finger in foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off the softened gel with an orange wood stick; if resistance occurs, re-soak instead of scraping.
