Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this 'photo-real'?
The 'photo-real' aspect comes from the extreme precision of the cuticle line, the perfectly smooth application of color, and the mirror-like high-gloss finish that captures light beautifully, making the nails look impeccably polished and almost digitally enhanced in their perfection.
Is a Reverse French manicure suitable for shorter nails?
Absolutely! The Reverse French, especially this photo-real salon version, is incredibly flattering on short to medium nails as it defines the nail bed and can even give the illusion of slightly longer nail plates, emphasizing clean, well-maintained hands.
How long does the salon quality finish last?
With professional application using high-quality gel products, this salon-quality finish typically lasts 2-3 weeks without chipping or lifting, maintaining its pristine high-gloss look with proper aftercare.
Can I get this design with regular nail polish?
While possible with regular lacquer, achieving the crispness, ultra-fine line, and 'photo-real' longevity is significantly more challenging. Gel polish is highly recommended for its self-leveling properties and durability, which contribute to the flawless finish.
What's the difference between a Reverse French and a Half-Moon manicure?
A Reverse French emphasizes a line along the cuticle, tracing the natural curve of the nail plate. A Half-Moon manicure, while also at the base of the nail, specifically highlights the lunula (the white crescent at the base) and is often a larger, more distinct crescent shape.
Is this design good for nail growth?
Yes, for several reasons. The gel overlay provides a protective layer that helps prevent breakage, and the design itself subtly highlights the nail bed, making new growth less noticeable immediately, which can extend the wear time between appointments.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Apply hand cream and cuticle oil daily to maintain nail health and appearance.
- ✓Wear gloves for household chores and prolonged water exposure.
- ✓Avoid harsh chemicals like acetone-based polish removers on non-gel applications.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off 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 nails, and wrap with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off softened gel with an orange wood stick, never scraping forcefully.
