Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a Reverse French manicure?
The Reverse French manicure, also known as a 'moonicure,' is an elegant design where the color is applied at the base of the nail, following the curve of the lunula (the visible part of the nail matrix), rather than the tip.
How long does this photo-real design typically last?
With professional application of gel polish, this photo-real design typically lasts 2-3 weeks without chipping, provided proper aftercare and maintenance.
Can I achieve this look on short nails?
Absolutely! The Reverse French design is incredibly versatile and looks stunning on short to medium length nails, subtly enhancing the natural shape of your nail bed.
Is this design suitable for professional environments?
Yes, its clean lines and elegant, sophisticated aesthetic make it perfectly suited for professional and corporate environments, projecting a polished and refined image.
What's the difference between 'photo-real' and a standard manicure?
A 'photo-real' finish signifies an exceptionally smooth, high-gloss, and perfectly executed design with crisp lines and even color, making it look flawless and ready for close-up photography, beyond a standard, less precise application.
Can I use regular polish for this design?
While possible with regular polish, achieving the 'photo-real' precision and durability is much easier with gel polish due to its longer curing time for design work and inherent chip resistance.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Moisturize hands and nails regularly to maintain skin and nail health.
- ✓Schedule your next fill or removal every 2-3 weeks to prevent lifting and maintain nail health.
- ✓Gently file any snags immediately with a fine-grit file to prevent further damage.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently buff the top layer of the gel to break the seal.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone-soaked cotton pads, wrapped in foil, for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off softened gel with a wooden cuticle stick, avoiding harsh scraping.
