The Nail Trainer - courses

Gel Nail Course
R 4995.00 with Nail Trainer hand (incl. VAT)

The course includes everything you will need to learn how to apply gel to nails. The 2 hour DVD will show you the best techniques to apply the bonding, building and finishing of gel to the nail. The gel is similar to a thick polish and is applied to the nail with a brush. Application is quick and easy and the gel does not start to set hard until it has been placed in the UV light curing box. After a few minutes in the UV box the gel hardens to form a shiny, strong and long-lasting nail. As you work through the course you will be creating nail extensions on the Nail Trainer hand and you'll be saving the nail at each stage of the nail build on the progress cards. When you are satisfied that you can create a set of nails, you can send the complete progress card containing the nails you have worked on for evaluation. You will receive feedback with your measurement results and certification.
