Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this design 'modern abstract'?

The fluid, non-representational shapes combined with a contemporary color palette and metallic accents give it a distinctly modern, artistic feel, departing from traditional patterns.

Can I do this design on short nails?

While longer nails offer more canvas, skilled artists can adapt this abstract design beautifully to shorter lengths by using smaller, more condensed shapes and accents.

Is the silver accent freehand or a sticker?

For a truly bespoke look, the silver accents are typically freehanded using a fine striping brush, but silver nail art tape or small metallic decals could also be used as an alternative.

Will the colors clash?

Not at all! The emerald green and zesty orange are chosen to create a vibrant, harmonious contrast, expertly balanced by the elegant silver, making for an eye-catching yet sophisticated look.

How long does this abstract manicure last?

With proper gel application and aftercare, this detailed abstract design can last 3-4 weeks, maintaining its shine and integrity.

Can I request different shapes?

Absolutely! The beauty of abstract designs is their versatility. You can work with your nail artist to customize the shapes to your preference, from soft curves to sharper angles.

Aftercare Tips

  • Allow your freshly cured nails a few hours before engaging in heavy activities to ensure full hardening.
  • Moisturize your hands and cuticles regularly to keep the surrounding skin healthy and prevent dryness.
  • Do not pick or peel at the polish, as this can damage your natural nails.
  • Use an acetone-free nail polish remover for any touch-ups on regular polish areas, though gel polishes typically require soaking.

Safe Removal

  • 1.Gently file off the glossy top coat to break the seal, being careful not to file into your natural nail plate.
  • 2.Soak cotton pads in 100% acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap securely with foil for 10-15 minutes.
  • 3.Gently push off the softened gel with a wooden stick; never force it. Moisturize nails and cuticles generously afterward.
