Supplies You'll Need

  • Gel Base Coat
  • Sheer Nude/Beige Gel Polish
  • Metallic Gold Gel Polish
  • White Gel Polish (for highlights)
  • Fine Detail Brush
  • High-Gloss No-Wipe Gel Top Coat
  • UV/LED Curing Lamp

How To Recreate It

  1. Prep nails and apply a thin layer of gel base coat, cure under UV/LED lamp.
  2. Apply 1-2 coats of sheer nude or beige gel polish as a base, curing after each. This creates the 'liquid' look.
  3. Using a metallic gold gel polish and a blending brush, create a subtle ombré effect from the cuticle area, fading towards the free edge to mimic champagne's golden hue.
  4. With a fine detail brush and pearl white gel polish, carefully paint tiny, irregular 'bubble' clusters, starting smaller near the base and growing slightly larger towards the tip. Add subtle white lines for realistic light reflections.
  5. Apply a final, generous layer of high-gloss, no-wipe gel top coat, ensuring a smooth, reflective finish. Cure thoroughly.

Expert Tip

Achieving the 'photo-real' effect relies on strategic layering and precise detail work. Focus on varying the size and placement of your 'bubbles' and highlights to truly capture the natural, effervescent movement of champagne.

Try These Variations

  • Rosé Sparkle: Use soft pink and rose gold tones for a rosé champagne effect.
  • Flute Rim Accent: Add a delicate, realistic 'flute rim' design along the free edge of one accent nail.
  • Abstract Bubbly: Create a more abstract, swirling pattern of gold and white for a dynamic champagne-like motion.

Aftercare Tips

  • Avoid using nails as tools to prevent chipping or lifting.
  • Moisturize hands regularly to support nail and cuticle health.
  • If any lifting occurs, refrain from picking and seek professional repair.

Safe Removal

  • 1.Gently file off the top coat to break the seal.
  • 2.Soak nails in acetone for 10-15 minutes.
  • 3.Carefully push off softened gel with an orange wood stick, avoiding scraping the natural nail.
