- Ultra-fine platinum silver glitter
- Clear builder gel or glitter adhesive
- High-quality non-wipe top coat
- Precision fan brush or applicator tool
- LED/UV nail lamp
- Cuticle oil
- **Nail Preparation:** Clean, shape, and lightly buff nails. Push back cuticles and dehydrate the nail plate.
- **Base Layer & Glitter Application:** Apply a thin layer of builder gel or glitter adhesive. Before curing, generously sprinkle the ultra-fine platinum silver glitter over the entire nail, ensuring full, dense coverage.
- **Glitter Setting & Encapsulation:** Gently press the glitter down for a smooth surface. Cure under LED/UV lamp. Apply a second, very thin layer of builder gel over the glitter, then add more glitter if needed for 'photo-real' depth, or skip if already dense enough. Cure again.
- **Sculpting & Smoothing:** Apply a substantial layer of clear builder gel to fully encapsulate the glitter, creating a smooth, even surface. Build a slight apex if desired. Cure thoroughly.
- **Refining & Top Coat:** Wipe off inhibition layer, then gently file and buff to perfect the shape and ensure ultimate smoothness. Finish with a thick, high-shine non-wipe top coat and cure for a dazzling, glass-like finish.

Expert Tip
To achieve that truly 'photo-real' finish, ensure each glitter particle is perfectly embedded and encapsulated within your gel layers. This prevents texture bumps and maximizes light reflection for an unparalleled shine. Don't rush the smoothing step!

Aftercare Tips

- ✓Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals like cleaning agents without gloves.
- ✓If a chip occurs, visit your nail technician promptly for a professional repair to preserve the look.
Safe Removal
- 1.**Buffing the Top Coat:** Gently buff the top layer of the nail to break the seal, avoiding the natural nail plate.
- 2.**Soak-Off Process:** Soak nails in acetone-soaked cotton pads wrapped in foil for 15-20 minutes.
- 3.**Gentle Removal:** Carefully push off the softened product with a wooden or metal cuticle pusher. Re-soak if necessary. Do not force.
