With acrylic 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 acrylics! 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, acrylics 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 acrylic begins.
When your client wants all their nails to look the same, but some just grow totally
different than others, acrylics help create gorgeous consistency. No one is the wiser
to the differences anymore, including your client!
This Acrylic Course also includes how to safely apply, maintain and remove the nail
extensions so there is no need for expensive follow-on courses.
Once that acrylic is dry, your client’s talons are a force to be reckoned with. From
cans, to mail packaging, these babies are hard to break. So, if you’re looking for a
treatment that will provide your clients with strong nails, look no further!
This Acrylic Nail Extensions Training Manual will provide you with all the practical
and theoretical knowledge you require to ensure you have the very best qualification to
start your own business or gain employment in a salon. Acrylic nails are a very
popular service so you can quickly start earning money!
