FAQs

How long will this design last?

With proper care, this gel polish design can last for 2-3 weeks without chipping or fading.

Can I do this design with regular nail polish?

Yes, but the durability may be reduced. Allow each layer to dry completely before applying the next.

What kind of brushes should I use for the floral details?

A very fine detail brush or liner brush is ideal for creating intricate floral designs.

Is it necessary to use gel polish?

Gel polish is recommended for its durability and shine, but regular polish can be used as an alternative.

Can I use nail stickers instead of hand-painting?

Yes, nail stickers are a great alternative for achieving a similar look with less effort, but the result won't be the same photo-real salon quality.

Are these nail designs suitable for short nails?

Yes, though the floral design may need to be simplified to fit the smaller surface area. A few strategically placed flowers can still look stunning.
