FAQs

Can I do this design with regular nail polish?

Yes, but the finish will not be as durable or long-lasting. You'll need a high-quality top coat for added protection.

How long will this design last?

With gel polish, it can last up to 2-3 weeks with proper care.

What if I don't have a fine line brush?

You can use a toothpick or a dotting tool for the gold accents.

Can I use a different type of gold?

Yes, you can use gold flakes, gold foil, or even gold chrome powder for different effects.

Is it necessary to use a gel lamp for this design?

If you are using gel polish, a gel lamp is required to cure the layers properly.

How do I prevent air bubbles in the gel polish?

Roll the polish bottle gently instead of shaking it, and apply thin, even coats.
