Acrylic Nails

Course review:

After learning the basics about the nail industry, your tools, and products, we show you how to choose, fit and blend an appropriate nail extension tip. Then you'll learn how to produce the perfect mix of Acrylic liquid and powder and how to apply it to the different areas of the nail. Shaping the Acrylic to a perfect profile and finish is a critical step and covered in minute detail on a single finger and then again on the various nail shapes and sizes on the whole hand. At the end of the course you'll be able to service your first client and charge your first fee!

Part 1: Foundation

You'll learn about life in a nail salon and you will understand the issues involved with sanitation, salon procedures, nail diseases, different nail systems, tools, chemicals and products.

Part 2: Essential Techniques

You will create your first nails. Gina shows you how to hold files and fingers, how to prepare the nail and create the extension. All the techniques are shown slowly and then at a speed you might achieve in a salon. You copy what you see on your own Nail Trainer.

Part 3: Working the whole hand

You bring together all the techniques you have mastered and learn all the tricks of the trade. The nails you create on the trainer hand are detachable.
