With professional application and proper aftercare, you can expect this sophisticated design to last 2-3 weeks, depending on your nail growth and daily activities.
Is the 'photo-real' aspect truly hand-painted?
Yes, the 'photo-real' element means each intricate detail is meticulously hand-painted by a skilled nail artist, ensuring a unique and professional salon quality finish.
Can I customize the specific winter scene depicted?
Absolutely! We encourage discussion to incorporate specific winter elements you envision, such as a particular tree silhouette or a favorite frost pattern, to make your sophisticated design uniquely yours.

What makes this particular winter design 'sophisticated'?
Its sophistication stems from the subtle, refined color palette, the intricate yet understated detailing, and the absence of overtly bright colors or cartoonish elements, creating an elegant and polished aesthetic.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Allow the top coat to fully harden for several hours post-cure before engaging in heavy-duty activities.
- ✓Keep hands and nails well-moisturized; hydrated skin enhances the overall polished and sophisticated look.
- ✓Be gentle with your nails, especially within the first 24 hours, to ensure the detailed art remains pristine and intact.
- ✓Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat, which can sometimes affect the longevity of gel polish.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file away the top coat using a fine-grit file to break the seal over the gel polish.
- 2.Soak nails by wrapping them in acetone-soaked cotton pads and foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Carefully push off the softened gel with an orange wood stick; re-soak if necessary, then lightly buff the natural nail.
