Photo-Real Embellished Jewel Nails: Salon Quality Design
Step into luxury with our Photo-Real Embellished Jewel Nails, a truly unique design that blends intricate, lifelike artistry with opulent sparkle. This salon-quality masterpiece features a rich jewel-toned base, delicate metallic detailing, and perfectly placed crystal embellishments for a stunning, dimensional finish.
Supplies You'll Need
- Professional gel polish kit (base, deep emerald color, top coat)
- Fine detail nail art brushes (000, liner)
- Metallic gold gel paint or art gel
- Assorted micro-crystals or flat-back rhinestones
- Crystal pickup tool and strong nail glue/gem adhesive gel
- UV/LED curing lamp
How To Recreate It
- Prep nails: clean, shape, gently buff, and apply a dehydrator/primer.
- Apply two coats of deep emerald gel polish, curing each layer completely.
- Using a fine liner brush and metallic gold art gel, meticulously hand-paint intricate filigree or delicate floral patterns, focusing on photo-real precision, then cure thoroughly.
- Apply a small dot of gem adhesive gel where desired, then use a crystal pickup tool to precisely place micro-crystals onto the design, curing briefly to set.
- Seal the entire design with a durable, high-gloss no-wipe top coat, carefully encapsulating the edges of the crystals without dulling their shine, and fully cure.
Expert Tip
For truly photo-real results, practice your fine-line work on a practice sheet first, focusing on consistent pressure and paint thickness. Use a steady hand rest to minimize wobbles during intricate detailing, especially when creating delicate filigree.

- →Amethyst Allure: A rich purple base, rose gold metallic accents, and tiny amethyst-colored rhinestones.

Aftercare Tips
- ✓Moisturize hands and cuticles frequently to keep them supple and prevent hangnails, enhancing the overall look.
- ✓Be gentle with your nails, especially around the embellishments, to prevent snagging or dislodging crystals.
- ✓Wear gloves when doing chores or gardening to protect your intricate design from chips and dirt.
Safe Removal
- 1.Professionally soak off gel polish using acetone wraps to ensure gentle removal without damaging natural nails.
- 2.Carefully file down any remaining gel or adhesive around embellishments before soaking to expedite the process.
- 3.Never pick or peel off the design, as this can cause significant damage to your natural nail plate.
