  1. **Prep & Base:** Gently push back cuticles, shape nails, dehydrate, and apply a thin layer of gel base coat, curing under LED/UV lamp.
  2. **Base Color Application:** Apply two thin, even coats of creamy white gel polish, curing each layer for a flawless, opaque foundation.
  3. **Outline Geometric Patterns:** Using an ultra-fine liner brush and deep black gel polish, meticulously hand-paint the intricate geometric patterns onto the white base, ensuring crisp, symmetrical lines. Cure lightly.
  4. **Add Gold Accents:** With a separate fine brush, apply gold chrome pigment precisely over specific black lines or shapes to create luxurious metallic details, then seal with a thin layer of no-wipe top coat and cure.
  5. **Final Top Coat & Cleanse:** Apply a generous layer of high-gloss no-wipe gel top coat over the entire design, ensuring all edges are sealed, then cure for the final time. Cleanse with alcohol if residue remains.

Expert Tip

Patience and a steady hand are paramount for achieving the photo-real precision of this geometric design. Work with very thin coats and cure between each detailed step to prevent smudging and ensure crisp lines.
