Here are some tips to keep your 3D nails beautiful and long lasting:

1. Use Nail Oil Regularly
Regularly apply nail oil to the edges and base of your 3D manicure. This helps to keep the nail surface and nail bed moisturized, preventing the nail surface from drying out and cracking.

2. Perform Regular Repairs
If the 3D elements show signs of loosening or falling off, they should be repaired promptly. A small amount of nail glue can be used to re-secure them.
Regularly check and repair the top gloss layer to protect the color and 3D design from wear and tear.

3. Handle with Care
Avoid using your nails as tools to open cans or perform other tasks that could cause damage. Handle your nails gently.

3D floral nail art styles are more than just a visual treat; they are a combination of art and technology. From the star-studded Met Gala to everyday life, 3D floral nail art is constantly pushing the boundaries of nail art trends. Whether it's recreating delicate natural flowers, incorporating popular butterfly elements, or adopting innovative designs, each style showcases a unique aesthetic appeal and technical depth. MelodySusie hopes the above can inspire your creativity and help you find your touch of fragrance in this colorful world of nail art.
