FAQs
How do I achieve the perfect ombre effect?
Use a makeup sponge or a fine brush to blend the Champagne gold with the beige base, building the color gradually.
Can I use regular nail polish instead of gel polish?
While possible, gel polish provides a longer-lasting and more durable finish. The photo-real effect is best achieved with gel.
What kind of top coat should I use?
A glossy top coat is ideal for mimicking the shine of Champagne. You can also try a glitter top coat for extra shimmer.
How do I prevent the gold flakes from looking messy?
Apply the flakes sparingly and precisely using a fine detail brush or dotting tool.
How long will this design last?
With proper application and care, the design should last for 2-3 weeks with gel polish.
Is this design suitable for short nails?
Yes, but a medium to long length will showcase the Champagne effect more dramatically.
