Expert Tip
Achieving a truly photo-real effect requires patience and meticulous layering. Use very thin coats and cure thoroughly between each detail to prevent blurring and ensure crisp, lifelike lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this photo-real design typically last?
With proper application of salon-quality gel products and diligent aftercare, this intricate design can last beautifully for 2-3 weeks without chipping or fading.
Can I customize the specific winter scene elements?
Absolutely! We encourage personalization. During your consultation, we can discuss specific winter elements you'd like to incorporate, such as particular snowflake patterns or a unique frosty landscape detail.
Is this design suitable for shorter nail lengths?
While technically possible, the intricate and detailed photo-real elements are best showcased on medium to long nail lengths, which provide a larger canvas for the art to truly shine.
Will the chrome powder for the icy effect fade over time?
No, when properly encapsulated with a durable, high-quality gel top coat, the chrome shimmer will remain vibrant and protected throughout the entire wear of your manicure.
What if I only want the photo-real effect on accent nails?
We can certainly adapt the design to your preference! Consider one or two accent nails featuring the full winter scene, complemented by frosted or shimmering solid colors on the remaining nails for a cohesive look.
Does this detailed design feel heavy or bulky on the nails?
Despite the multiple layers required for the detailed art, gel polish applications are designed to be thin and strong. The design adds negligible weight, maintaining comfort and a natural feel.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Moisturize hands and cuticles regularly to keep the skin around your stunning nails hydrated and soft.
- ✓Be gentle with your new manicure for the first 24 hours to allow for full hardening and setting of all layers.
- ✓Avoid excessive hot water exposure or prolonged soaking immediately after your appointment, as it can sometimes affect gel adhesion.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the glossy top coat to break the seal, being careful not to file into the natural nail plate.
- 2.Soak cotton balls in 100% acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off the softened gel with a wooden cuticle stick. Do not scrape or force it; re-soak if necessary until the gel slides off easily.
