About this course
Learn a professional gel manicure and builder gel (BIAB) overlay from start to finish — cuticle work, prep, structure, apex, shaping, infills and safe removal. BIAB is one of the most requested nail services right now because it gives clients strong, healthy-looking natural nails without the bulk of acrylics or extensions. Perfect for clients who want length and strength while keeping their own nails underneath. Whether you're adding it to your menu or upgrading your gel polish services, this course gives you the skills to deliver flawless, long-lasting results. 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.
