Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this birthday nail design last?
With proper application and aftercare, this gel polish design can last up to 2-3 weeks.
Can I do this birthday nail design at home?
While possible, this design requires advanced skills and tools. It's best suited for experienced nail artists or salon professionals.
What if I don’t have a steady hand for the detail work?
Practice on a nail art practice pad first, and use a detail brush with a very fine tip. Take breaks to rest your hand.
Can I use regular nail polish instead of gel polish?
While you can, gel polish is recommended for its durability and glossy finish, crucial for achieving the photo-realistic effect. Regular polish may chip more easily.
How do I protect my birthday nail art from chipping?
Wear gloves when doing housework, avoid picking at the polish, and apply cuticle oil daily to keep the nails hydrated.
Are there any shortcuts to achieving a similar design?
Using nail stickers or decals as a base and then adding fine details can be a quicker alternative, though it won't achieve the same level of photo-realism.
