Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular nail polish instead of gel polish?

While you can use regular nail polish, gel polish offers a longer-lasting and more durable finish, which is ideal for achieving a photo-real effect.

How long will this manicure last?

With proper care, a gel manicure can last up to two weeks without chipping or peeling.

What if I don't have a blending brush?

You can use a small makeup sponge or even a clean eyeshadow brush as a substitute.

How do I prevent the gel polish from getting on my skin?

Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly around your cuticles before painting your nails.

Can I add nail art on top of this design?

Yes, you can add subtle nail art, such as delicate floral details or glitter accents, to personalize your manicure.

Is this suitable for short nails?

While the design looks best on medium-length nails, it can be adapted for shorter nails by focusing on the color blending and photo-real finish.
