- 2. Apply 2-3 coats of your chosen base color (e.g., black or deep cream), curing thoroughly between each layer.
- 3. Using a fine detail brush and contrasting gel polish (e.g., gold or black), meticulously draw the geometric Art Deco patterns, focusing on crisp lines and symmetry. Cure after each color section to prevent bleeding.
- 4. Add metallic gold accents with a very fine brush to create a luxurious, photo-real effect, highlighting key design elements. Cure thoroughly.
- 5. Encapsulate the entire design with a generous, high-gloss, non-wipe top coat, ensuring all intricate details are sealed. Cure for 60-90 seconds.

Expert Tip
For truly photo-real results, use high-quality, opaque gel polishes and build up intricate lines in thin, precise layers, curing thoroughly between each to prevent smudging and achieve razor-sharp edges. Practice on tip wheels first to master the fine details and maintain a steady hand.

Aftercare Tips
- ✓Keep hands moisturized, especially after washing, to maintain nail health and appearance.
- ✓Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water or harsh chemicals immediately after your appointment.
- ✓Do not pick, peel, or bite your nails; this can damage the natural nail plate and the design.
- ✓Contact your salon if you notice any lifting or chipping to prevent further damage or nail injury.
Safe Removal
- 1.1. Gently file off the shiny top coat to break the seal of the gel polish.
- 2.2. Soak cotton pads in 100% acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.3. Gently push off softened gel with a wooden cuticle stick. Never force or scrape harshly to prevent nail damage.
