Supplies You'll Need

  • Salon Rose Pink Gel Polish
  • Gel Top Coat (No-Wipe recommended)
  • LED/UV Curing Lamp
  • Cuticle Oil & Hand Lotion

How To Recreate It

  1. **Prep for Perfection**: Start with meticulous nail prep. Gently push back and trim cuticles, lightly buff the nail surface for adhesion, then cleanse and dehydrate thoroughly.
  2. **Foundation of Flawless**: Apply a very thin, even layer of gel base coat. Cap the free edge and cure under an LED/UV lamp according to product instructions.
  3. **The Perfect Pink Hue**: Apply the first thin, even coat of Salon Rose Pink gel polish. Ensure an immaculate line around the cuticle and sidewalls. Cure. Repeat for a second opaque, perfectly smooth layer, curing again.
  4. **Seal with Shine**: Finish with a high-gloss, non-wipe gel top coat, ensuring full coverage and capping the free edge. Cure for the recommended time to achieve maximum shine and durability.
  5. **Hydrate & Glow**: Once cured, apply a nourishing cuticle oil to each nail and massage a rich hand lotion into your hands for a truly polished, photo-real finish.

Expert Tip

Achieving that 'photo-real' finish hinges on applying extremely thin, even coats of polish. Rushing or applying thick layers will lead to bubbling, unevenness, and reduced longevity.

Try These Variations

  • **Matte Rose Elegance**: Opt for a matte top coat over the Salon Rose Pink for a velvety, sophisticated finish.
  • **Subtle Shimmer Accent**: Add a single, extremely fine glitter accent nail (using a complementary pink or clear shimmer) to one finger for a touch of glam.
  • **Pink Ombré Softness**: Blend the Salon Rose Pink into a sheer nude or lighter pink towards the cuticle for a delicate ombré effect.

Aftercare Tips

  • Moisturize your hands and nails regularly to maintain skin health and the polish's luster.
  • Be gentle with your nails for the first few hours after your manicure, allowing the polish to fully set and harden.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water or steam immediately after your service, which can sometimes affect the gel's adhesion.

Safe Removal

  • 1.Gently file the top coat layer of your pink nails to break the seal, being careful not to file into the natural nail.
  • 2.Soak cotton pads in 100% acetone, place them directly on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
  • 3.Gently scrape off the softened gel polish with a wood stick or metal pusher. Do not force, and re-soak if necessary.
