Frequently Asked Questions
How long do these French Tips typically last?
With proper application and aftercare, your photo-real French Tips can last 2-3 weeks, especially when done with gel polish.
Can I get this look with regular nail polish instead of gel?
While possible, achieving the 'photo-real' crispness and longevity is significantly easier and more durable with gel polish. Regular polish may chip sooner.
Is this design customizable with different colors?
Absolutely! While the classic opaque white is signature, you can experiment with pastel tips, black tips, or even glitter tips for a unique touch while maintaining the sophisticated structure.
Will this design damage my natural nails?
When applied and removed correctly by a professional, this design, especially with gel, will not damage your natural nails. Proper prep and gentle removal are key.
Why is 'photo-real' important for French Tips?
'Photo-real' refers to the impeccable, flawless finish where every line is perfectly crisp and the colors are true and vibrant, looking as perfect in person as it does in a professional photograph.
How can I prevent my white tips from yellowing?
Using a high-quality, UV-blocking top coat helps prevent yellowing. Also, avoid prolonged exposure to certain chemicals or strong dyes.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water or excessive steam for the first 24 hours.
- ✓Moisturize hands and cuticles regularly to keep nails hydrated.
- ✓Do not pick or peel at your nails; this can damage the natural nail bed.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file the top coat to break the seal, being careful not to file into the natural nail.
- 2.Soak cotton pads in 100% acetone, place on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off softened gel with an orange wood stick, then lightly buff any residue.
