Expert Tip

Achieving the 'photo-real' crispness requires immense patience and very thin, consistent layers of gel polish. Use a brand-new, ultra-fine liner brush and cure each segment of detailed line work immediately to prevent smudging and ensure perfection.

Aftercare Tips

  • For the first 24 hours, avoid prolonged hot water exposure to allow the gel to fully settle.
  • Keep your nails moisturized, especially around the cuticles.
  • Do not pick, peel, or bite your nails, as this can damage your natural nail plate.
  • If any lifting occurs, resist the urge to pull; contact your nail artist for professional repair.

Safe Removal

  • 1.Gently buff off the shiny top coat with a fine-grit file to break the gel's seal.
  • 2.Soak cotton balls in pure acetone, place them on each nail, and secure with foil wraps for 10-15 minutes.
  • 3.Carefully push off the softened gel with an orange wood stick; if resistance occurs, re-soak your nails.
