About this course
A full beginner course in acrylic application. Learn nail prep, structure, apex, shaping, colour work, infills and removal so you can deliver a clean, long-lasting set. As an add-on, I also teach the basics of using an e-file to speed up your sets. Includes business module. Can be booked as 1:1.
Course theory is sent prior to training, so the course day focuses on the practical work completely. This is to prevent cramming theory and content overload, when instead you can learn the theory at home, in your own space, comfortably.
