Several courses are available, depending on the technique you wish to learn.

There are 3 basic nail techniques: Resin and powder, UV gel and acrylic, as well as several derivatives such as UV resin (a mixture of resin and powder and UV gel) or acrylic (a mixture of acrylic and UV gel).

You can choose to learn just one, two or all of them! How to choose? It all depends on your type of customer, your needs and your personality. So here’s a quick summary:

Resin and powder may seem difficult to understand, since there are several products and steps to learn and master, so it requires ease of comprehension and a good memory. On the other hand, the application of products is very straightforward, but if you can apply a varnish, you’ll be able to apply a resin. This technique is long-lasting and produces beautiful results. The products are from Quebec and not very expensive. This technique doesn’t smell very strong. To remove false nails, simply soak your fingers in acetone. It is well suited to most customers.

Acrylic is the oldest technique. The technique is easy to understand, since it doesn’t involve many steps, but it’s difficult for most beginners to master (more practice, speed, attention to detail, artistic sense). The technique is very fast. This is a highly resistant technique. On the other hand, it gives a less natural result (thicker, heavier). The products are not expensive. This technique smells VERY good. To remove false nails, simply soak your fingers in acetone. Suitable for problem nails: bitten, deformed, flat, etc.

UV gel is a more recent technique. To apply the products correctly, you need to be gentle and meticulous. This technique is less resistant than the previous two, but gives a more natural, brighter and lighter result. Products and training are more expensive. This technique is odorless. Small disadvantage: to remove false nails, you have to file everything down, as this technique doesn’t melt in acetone. It is ideal for natural nails (without prostheses), or for events such as balls, weddings or others.

UV resin is a very simple and fast technique. The products are from Quebec and not very expensive. This technique is odorless. This technique is less resistant than resin and powder, but gives a beautiful result. Small disadvantage: to remove false nails, you have to file everything down, as this technique doesn’t melt in acetone. Very practical for doing your own nails.

UV varnish is a manicure technique, not a nail application. UV varnish (Shellac) can be used on natural fingernails or toenails (healthy nails only), or on any nail application technique, for the purpose of applying color, not to thicken, lengthen or harden the nail.

Silk is a technique for repairing and protecting the natural nail, or for lengthening it (replacing the prosthesis). Silk can be used on natural nails, with or without nail extensions.

Acrygel is a revolutionary new technique that combines the advantages of uv gel and acrylic: resistance and beauty for optimal results!
