  2. Apply one thin, even coat of gel base coat and cure thoroughly under UV/LED lamp.
  3. Apply two to three thin, even coats of your chosen deep gel polish color, curing each layer fully to build depth and opacity.
  4. Ensure the surface is perfectly smooth; lightly buff if needed, then cleanse.

Expert Tip

To truly achieve that 'photo-real' liquid glass finish, ensure each gel layer is applied as thinly and evenly as possible. The final self-leveling top coat is crucial – apply it slightly thicker than normal and allow a few seconds for it to smooth out perfectly before curing. This creates the incredible depth and flawless reflection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the 'photo-real' finish last?

With proper application and care, this ultra-glossy finish can last 2-3 weeks without dulling or chipping, maintaining its stunning reflective quality.

Can I achieve this look at home?

While possible, achieving the true 'photo-real' salon quality requires precision gel application, high-quality products, and a good UV/LED lamp. We recommend professional application for the best results.

Is the deep color too dark for lighter skin tones?

Not at all! The deep plum or wine color is incredibly versatile and enhances all skin tones, providing a sophisticated contrast that looks luxurious and chic.

What nail shape best complements this design?

Elegant shapes like almond, coffin, or oval truly showcase the length and the flawless, reflective finish, enhancing the design's sophistication.

Will the high gloss make my nails look thicker?

When applied correctly in thin, even layers, the high-gloss finish enhances depth without adding excessive bulk. The goal is a sleek, polished look, not thick nails.

What makes it 'photo-real'?

The 'photo-real' aspect comes from the incredibly smooth, high-definition, and deeply reflective finish that mimics a perfectly polished surface, almost like a high-resolution photograph of liquid glass.

Aftercare Tips

  • Keep nails hydrated with nourishing hand cream.
  • Gently push back cuticles regularly to maintain a clean appearance.
  • Schedule refills every 2-3 weeks to keep the design pristine and prevent lifting.

Safe Removal

  • 1.Gently file off the top layer of the gel polish to break the seal.
  • 2.Soak cotton pads in acetone, place on each nail, and wrap with foil.
  • 3.After 10-15 minutes, gently scrape off softened gel with a wooden stick; never force it.
