- Black or White Dotting Color Gel
- Assorted Sized Dotting Tools
- Fine-tip Nail Art Brush (for corrections)
- Non-Wipe High-Gloss Gel Top Coat
- Prep nails: shape, buff, push cuticles. Apply gel base coat and cure.
- Apply two thin, even coats of your chosen nude or opaque base color gel, curing after each layer.
- Using a small to medium dotting tool and contrasting gel color, meticulously place uniform dots, ensuring even spacing and perfect circular shapes across the nail. Cure after dotting each nail to lock in place.
- Inspect each dot for perfection. Use a fine-tip brush with a tiny bit of base coat to gently correct any imperfections before final cure.
- Apply a generous, even layer of non-wipe high-gloss gel top coat to seal the design and enhance shine. Cure thoroughly.
- Cleanse the nail surface with alcohol to remove any residual tackiness and admire your photo-real finish.
Expert Tip
Achieving a photo-real finish is all about controlled precision. Load your dotting tool evenly and use a light, consistent touch for each dot. If working with gel, cure immediately after perfecting the dots on each nail to prevent any spreading or smudging.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this photo-real polka dot design typically last?
With professional gel application and proper aftercare, this design can last 3-4 weeks without chipping or losing its pristine finish.
Can I customize the dot size or spacing?
Absolutely! While the 'photo-real' aspect implies uniformity, we can adjust the dot size and spacing to perfectly complement your nail length and personal preference during your consultation.
Is this design suitable for short nails?
Yes, it looks incredibly elegant on short nails! The key is to select a dot size that is proportionate to your nail plate, ensuring the sophisticated pattern remains clear and uncluttered.
Can I achieve this look at home?
Due to the precision and professional-grade finish required for a 'photo-real' effect, we highly recommend a salon visit for this specific design to guarantee flawless results.
What's the best way to choose the right color combination?
Consider your personal style, skin tone, and common wardrobe colors. Classic black and white is always a sophisticated choice, but we can recommend complementary shades that will enhance your unique look.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Moisturize hands and cuticles regularly to maintain nail health and appearance.
- ✓Schedule infills every 2-3 weeks to keep the design looking fresh and prevent lifting.
- ✓Gently file any snags or rough edges with a fine-grit file, avoiding the design surface.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently buff off the top layer of the gel to break the seal, being careful not to over-file.
- 2.Soak cotton pads in acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off the softened gel with an orange wood stick, never forcing or scraping the nail plate.
