Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this Art Deco design typically last?
With proper application and aftercare, your Photo-Real Art Deco gel manicure can last 2-3 weeks without chipping or fading.
Can I customize the classic Art Deco colors?
Absolutely! We can adapt the traditional black, white, and gold palette to incorporate your favorite jewel tones while maintaining the design's integrity.
Is this intricate design suitable for shorter nails?

Will the metallic gold accents fade over time?

Is the 'photo-real' detail achieved through stickers or hand-painting?
The exquisite 'photo-real' detail in this Art Deco design is primarily achieved through meticulous hand-painting with fine liner brushes by an experienced artist.
How do I ensure the lines remain crisp and vibrant?
Daily application of cuticle oil and a gentle hand with your nails will help preserve the crisp lines and overall vibrancy of your manicure. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid excessive hot water exposure (e.g., long baths, hot tubs) for the first 24 hours to allow the gel to fully set.
- ✓Refrain from picking or peeling at your gel manicure, as this can damage your natural nails.
- ✓Apply a high-quality hand cream and cuticle oil daily to nourish your skin and nails.
- ✓Protect your nails from heavy impact or trauma to prevent chipping or breaking the intricate design.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top layer of the gel polish to break the seal, being careful not to file into your natural nail.
- 2.Soak nails in 100% acetone, either by wrapping with foil or using a dedicated soaking tray, for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off the softened gel using a wood stick or metal pusher, then lightly buff any remaining residue. Moisturize thoroughly.
