Frequently Asked Questions
What specifically makes this design 'photo-real'?
The 'photo-real' aspect comes from the absolute precision of the lines, the flawless, high-gloss mirror-like finish, and the impeccable application that leaves no imperfections, making your nails look professionally airbrushed and picture-perfect.
How long can I expect this sophisticated manicure to last?
With professional application using high-quality gel products and proper aftercare, this manicure can typically last 2-3 weeks without chipping or losing its incredible shine.
Is the Half Moon design suitable for short nails?
Absolutely! The Half Moon design is incredibly flattering on shorter, well-maintained nails. It can enhance their natural shape and give the illusion of length, making them appear neat and elegant.
Can I customize the colors for my Half Moon nails?
Yes, customization is encouraged! While our featured colors are Muted Rose and Soft Ivory, you can choose any two complementary or contrasting colors to match your personal style, ensuring a clean break between the base and the moon for impact.
What's the best way to maintain the high-gloss 'photo-real' shine?
To maintain the incredible shine, apply a high-quality cuticle oil daily to keep your nails hydrated and healthy. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh cleaning chemicals without gloves, as these can dull the finish over time.
Why is this design considered 'Advanced' in difficulty?
The 'Advanced' rating stems from the absolute precision required to create perfectly crisp, symmetrical Half Moon lines and achieve the flawless, 'photo-real' finish without any smudges, bubbles, or imperfections that are visible up close.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Allow your freshly cured gel manicure to settle for a few hours before exposing it to excessive moisture or heat.
- ✓Regularly apply cuticle oil to nourish the nail bed and maintain the flexibility and shine of your gel polish.
- ✓Resist the urge to pick or peel at your gel polish, as this can damage your natural nail plate.
- ✓Always return to a professional for gel removal to ensure your nails remain healthy and strong.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently buff the top layer of your gel manicure with a fine-grit file to break the seal.
- 2.Soak cotton balls in 100% acetone, place them on each nail, and secure with foil wraps for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off the softened gel with an orange wood stick. Avoid scraping or forcing, and re-soak if necessary.
