With gel nails, you can pretty much change up the shape and length anytime you want. Go from square to round, to almond, and back again. A nail junkie needs these kinds of options!
You can do whatever you want with gels! Be as outrageous with the length, color, size, shapes, finishes, and even accessories. There's no limit to what you can create with them.
Yes, gels are artificial, but when applied correctly, no one can tell. The nails are super customisable, and when filed down to the right width and thickness, it's hard to spot where the natural nail ends and where the gel begins.
When your client wants all their nails to look the same, but some just grow totally different than others, gels help create gorgeous consistency. No one is the wiser to the differences anymore, including your client!
This gel manual also includes how to safely apply, maintain and remove the nail extensions so there is no need for expensive follow-on courses.
Once that gel is cured, your client’s talons are a force to be reckoned with...so, if you’re looking for a treatment that will provide your clients with strong nails, look no further!
This Gel Nail Extensions Training Manual will provide you with all the practical and theory knowledge you require to ensure you have the very best understanding when entering the world of Nail Technology. Gel nails are a very popular service so you can quickly start earning money!
