  • Gel Base Coat
  • Black, Cream, and White Gel Polish
  • Gold Metallic Gel Paint
  • Ultra-fine Detailing Brushes (000, Liner)
  • Glossy Gel Top Coat

  1. Prep nails, apply base coat, and cure. Apply a cream or black gel polish as the base color, curing each layer.
  2. Using a super-fine detailing brush and contrasting gel polishes (e.g., black on cream or white on black), meticulously hand-paint the intricate geometric patterns and architectural lines.
  3. Carefully layer additional fine lines and shapes with the other contrasting gel colors to create depth and the realistic effect, curing between each delicate layer.
  4. Apply metallic gold gel paint with precision to highlight specific geometric sections or create borders, adding to the opulent feel, then cure.
  5. Seal the entire design with a high-shine glossy top coat, ensuring full coverage and durability, then cure thoroughly and cleanse.

Expert Tip

Achieving the photo-real finish requires extreme patience and a steady hand. Apply gel polishes in very thin layers and cure each layer thoroughly to prevent smudging and ensure crisp, defined lines, building depth gradually.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does this intricate design typically last?

With professional application and proper aftercare, your photo-real design should last 2-3 weeks without chipping or fading.

Can I get this design on shorter nails?

While longer nails allow for more detail, a skilled artist can adapt a simplified version of the geometric patterns to suit shorter nail lengths, maintaining the essence of the design.

Is this design suitable for DIY at home?

Due to the advanced hand-painting skills, ultra-fine detailing, and layering required for the photo-real finish, this design is best left to professional nail artists to ensure salon-quality results.

What if I want different colors than black, white, and gold?

Absolutely! The design can be customized with various elegant color palettes, such as silver and navy, or emerald and platinum, to match your personal style or event theme.

Will the metallic accents chip off easily?

When properly encapsulated with a durable gel top coat and cured correctly, the metallic accents are fully protected and will not chip or fade prematurely.

Does this design feel thick on the nail?

A skilled technician applies the gel in very thin, precise layers, ensuring the final result is smooth, sleek, and comfortable, despite its intricate appearance.

Aftercare Tips

  • Moisturize hands and nails regularly to keep them hydrated.
  • Be gentle with your nails; avoid picking or filing the surface.
  • If a minor chip occurs, avoid peeling; contact your nail technician for a professional fix.
  • Protect your manicure from prolonged exposure to strong UV light (e.g., excessive sunbathing) to prevent color fading.

Safe Removal

  • 1.Professional soak-off removal is highly recommended to protect your natural nails.
  • 2.Avoid peeling or forcefully picking off the gel polish, as this can damage the nail plate.
  • 3.Gently buff the top layer, then soak in acetone-infused wraps until the gel lifts safely.
