Contents

We start with basics. We discuss the structure of a natural nail, the way it grows, what materials are required, and how to choose them.


We move on to practical tasks. We learn to feel the product and to apply it properly, to choose the right moment for pinching, to shape the nail into a perfect shape by filing.


Improving the techniques. We practice achieving beautiful smile lines and applying polish, creating perfect nails for further application of one tone polish or for French manicure.


We go up from simple to comprehensive, moving on to next assignments only after the previous ones are fully completed.

What we will learn

Product chemistry (polymerization process)

Physiology and anatomy of the natural nail

Nail sculpting

Artificial nail architecture

What an ideal long-lasting nail should look like

Practice:


Natural nail prep, applying gel polish, removing the product

Practice with a product on a tip

Pushing back the cuticle, filing the free edge, troubleshooting, applying dehydrator and primer

Sculpting: creating a nail, sculpting free edge of the nail, apex, cuticle area

Who would benefit from this course?

MORE DETAILS:

How it works?

  • This is online training; you don't need to spend your money on travel expenses, leave your job or family.
  • Training contains high quality lessons in HD.
  • At the beginning of the training you will get access to several lessons and you would be able to watch them as many times as you wish. Some people prefer to study in the evening or even at night :) 
  • Practice lessons will contain home assignments. You will have to complete those assignments. Anastasia Luksha will check your homework, send comments, and approve or disapprove your works. Once your design is approved you will get access to the next lessons.
  • You can practice at any time that is suitable for you, take a picture of your results, and upload them to the Getcourse educational system which we use to provide these online trainings.
  • Your tutor will check your uploaded pictures, comment on them, underline your mistakes and errors and explain how you can fix them or approve your work if there are no mistakes.
  • If you have any questions or concerns you can ask Anastasia anytime and get a response.
  • If you won't be able to complete the training before the end date we will allow you an extension of 1–2 weeks. Life is unpredictable sometimes and we would love to help you.
  • At the end of the training when you will complete all of your assignments you will get access to your final evaluation. When you successfully complete your evaluation Anastasia will give you a personal certificate of completion.

Here are some important things to know about our trainings:

  • You will always be able to see the work of your fellow students and also be able to analyze their mistakes and view the tutor's comments. It helps a lot while you are studying.
  • There is no limit on remaking your design. This is not possible with traditional live trainings as the whole group would have to wait for you if you're having trouble with something. With our trainings this limitation does not exist. In fact some of our students continue to remake some of their art works even after it's already been approved by the tutor — they just want to add more amazing designs to their portfolio :)
Here is an example of how this online interaction of a student and their tutor looks:

It was very helpful! Learned sculpting nails, new filling techniques, liquid and powder ratio, theory and history of nails. I’d like to thank you for comments and feedback!

Birute Alunderyte

Good learning lesson for those with some experience and want to learn proper way. Although good for those just starting out I think those type of people need more hands on training to better understand what they are doing wrong and shown in person correct way. Just my opinion but others may disagree



Cindy guerrero. What do you think about the course?

Very instructive for a beginner. Learned the techniques of gel and acrylic. How to use the forms well and the tips. Since i have a store and wasn’t able to take classes here in Belgium this course allowed me to learn at my rhythm and free time. Thank you to all the teachers who were sometimes hard but I learned a lot.


Arielle Verluyten

The course is spectacular, I'm super happy, I learned a lot from the course. Thank you for everything, thank you for being always available to answer any questions, the technical assistance was very good, I recommend all professionals and beginners to take this course. Thank you. Thank you very much

I had several struggles with the primary being form application followed by placing the Apex in the same place on every nail and making sure your nail shaping was done well. I learned lots of new techniques that I didn't learn in school since we only dealt with acrylic application. Also enjoyed learning how to deal with gel application in general. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to explore how to properly apply a gel set.

Hello! I am looking into signing up for the beginner hard gel class, my one question is would I have to purchase the supplies myself separately from the class or does the class include the supplies? As well for if the supplies are needed to purchased separately, will there be recommended products/brands or would we have to purchase brands of our choosing?
