- Apply specific high-contrast details and highlights to enhance the 'photo-real' effect, such as tiny light reflections or sharp lines.
- Seal the entire design with a generous, self-leveling layer of high-gloss no-wipe top coat, ensuring a smooth, reflective, salon-quality finish, then cure thoroughly.
Expert Tip
