HARD GEL FOR NATURAL NAILS
Course training dates
Description
Could you believe that just one jar of hard gel can solve so many common problems — lifting, chipping, and breakages? In this course, you’ll learn exactly how to make that happen, working with hard gel on all nail types — short or long, weak and brittle, or normal — so you’ll never have to worry about which product to choose. Hard gel suits them all, giving you confidence that every client will leave with beautiful, lasting nails.
We’ll focus on building your skills in selecting and applying hard gel thinly yet durably, as well as perfecting nail shapes for a natural but flawless look. You’ll also master techniques for repairing damaged nails, correcting uneven shapes, and preventing lifting — ensuring your work not only looks stunning but also lasts for weeks. With detailed demonstrations and plenty of hands-on practice, you’ll finish the course confident in your ability to deliver professional results that keep clients coming back.
This training focused on gel application only — manicure is not included.
