About this class

This beginner-friendly acrylic application class is designed to help aspiring and working nail technicians understand acrylic before applying it. Students will learn how to control their liquid-to-powder ratio, create consistent beads, place acrylic correctly within each nail zone, build proper structure, and improve their shaping and filing techniques. We will break each step down using custom practice sheets, detailed demonstrations, and guided hands-on practice. This class focuses on understanding the product and technique rather than simply copying a finished set. You will leave with a repeatable application system that you can continue practicing after class. Class size is limited to 10 students so everyone receives personalized support and feedback.
