Day 1: Professional Structured Gel Manicure

This course is a more in-depth option over a standard Gel Polish course, where you will learn not just gel polish application but you will also be shown correct application of Strength & Shape (Builder In A Bottle), which is a structured gel overlay on the natural nail allowing you to create a longer-lasting and perfectly shaped manicure.

Suitable for complete beginners, students who have attended a basic gel polish course or as a refresher.

Day 3: Professional Hard Gel Enhancements

Hard gel is an acrylic that is cured in either an LED or UV lamp. Unlike traditional liquid and powder acrylic systems, hard gel has little or no smell and does not cure until placed under the lamp.

Hard gel is a file off system and cannot be removed with acetone.​
