- High-quality Gel Base Coat
- Deep Emerald Green Gel Polish
- Pristine Ivory Gel Polish
- Fine Liner Nail Art Brush (000 size)
- Precision Half-Moon Stencils (optional, for guidance)
- No-Wipe Gel Top Coat
- Lint-free Wipes
- Isopropyl Alcohol (for cleansing)
- Prepare nails: file, buff, push back cuticles, and dehydrate. Apply a thin layer of gel base coat and cure.
- Apply two thin, even coats of Deep Emerald Green gel polish to the entire nail, curing after each layer for full opacity and depth.
- Using a fine liner brush and Pristine Ivory gel polish (or a half-moon stencil as a guide), meticulously paint the 'half moon' shape at the cuticle area, ensuring an impeccably crisp, smooth, and symmetrical curve on each nail. Cure.
- Apply a second thin layer of Ivory to the half-moon for full opacity and a 'photo-real' crispness, carefully refining the edge. Cure.
- Seal the entire design with a durable, high-gloss no-wipe gel top coat, ensuring even coverage over the entire nail to lock in the precision and shine. Cure thoroughly.
- Cleanse the nail surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove any sticky residue, revealing the ultimate 'photo-real' finish.
Expert Tip
Achieving 'photo-real' precision for the half-moon design lies in ultra-thin polish layers and a steady hand with a quality fine liner brush. Take your time, cure each layer completely, and don't be afraid to clean up edges with a tiny brush dipped in alcohol before curing for ultimate crispness.
