Supplies You'll Need

How To Recreate It
- Prepare nails: File, buff, push back cuticles meticulously to create a pristine canvas for detailed art.
- Apply base coat: Ensure even application for adhesion and protection, then cure.
- Base color application: Apply 1-2 coats of your chosen base color (e.g., Deep Sage Green), curing each layer.
- Image transfer: Select an ultra-fine etched design. Apply metallic gold transfer polish to the design, scrape swiftly, and pick up the image with a high-precision stamper. Roll or press firmly onto the nail with exact placement.
- Clean-up & Top Coat: Carefully clean any excess polish around the design with a fine brush and acetone. Finish with a non-smear top coat to seal and add a high-gloss finish, curing thoroughly.

FAQs
How long does a Photo-Real Stamped Nail Art design typically last?
With proper application and diligent aftercare, these designs can last 2-3 weeks, much like a standard gel manicure, thanks to the quality polishes and top coat.
Can I request a custom 'photo-real' image for my nails?
While we rely on pre-etched plates for 'photo-real' precision, we offer a vast selection of highly detailed designs that can be chosen to match your personal style or theme.
Is the intricate detail susceptible to chipping?
The precision of the design is sealed under a durable top coat. Chipping is rare, especially with regular top coat reapplication and careful handling of your nails.
Can this design be done at home by a beginner?
Achieving the 'photo-real' salon quality requires advanced technique, specialized supplies, and significant practice. While basic stamping can be done at home, this level of detail is best left to professionals.
What if a design element smudges during the process?
Our professional artists are trained to meticulously correct any imperfections or, if necessary, reapply the design element to ensure a flawless 'photo-real' finish.
