02 / A PRACTICAL WORKFLOWSTART WITH YOUR PHOTO
01Keep the formula and shade identity together
Photograph the real bottle upright with its front label readable, then its underside or reverse shade identifier. Record the formula type and package size with the SKU rather than grouping similarly colored bottles as interchangeable. Photograph the supplied brush separately if its shape is a useful buying detail. Keep the cap and bottle from the same product together.
OPI’s product page separates the bottle, manicure and shade-swatch views. That division helps a seller answer package and appearance questions without letting one attractive frame do every job. Use your own authorized photographs. A differently colored label, changed cap or missing identifier should not be hidden by a scene that focuses only on the liquid color.
Make a color sample reproducible enough to understand
Apply the actual product to a real sample or a permitted hand photograph. Record the base, coat count, lighting and relevant application method in your working notes. A sheer polish can look different over different bases, so keep comparison samples on the same basis. Do not use digitally painted nails as evidence of coverage.
For shimmer or reflective effects, capture a neutral overview and a second angle that shows the effect without replacing it with invented sparkle. Keep editing consistent across shades and retain the source files. A static image cannot prove drying, curing requirements or wear duration. Present those as documented product information, not conclusions from a glossy-looking photograph.
Use scene generation for a bottle still life
Choose one actual bottle source to explore a simple vanity composition in Fayvoro. Keep the genuine swatch alongside it. This workflow does not apply the sold polish to nails, verify a formula or provide a safe manicure procedure. A generated hand may also have implausible anatomy and should not become a customer-use example.
Compare shade identifiers, label wording, bottle volume marking, cap shape and visible brush with the real product. Inspect glass reflections and the apparent fill level. A generated spill or brushstroke is an editorial styling element, not a measured sample. Reject any result that makes the polish seem a different color, formula or quantity.
