Another Builder Gel course completed ✔️🫧💅🏼

The girls absolutely smashed it and produced some really lovely sets during the training. It’s always great to see confidence grow throughout the day as students pick up new techniques and start to really get the hang of it 🙌🏼🩷

I’m really excited to see the work you go on to create from here 💅

Well done girls — you did amazing!
Well deserved certificates 🙌🏼👏🏻🩷💅🏼

Prep is EVERYTHING 👏🏻

Before any builder gel or acrylic touches the nail… PREP comes first.

I always say this in both of my courses-
If we prep right, prime properly, and keep our product away from the cuticle… they are NOT going to lift 🙌🏼

And that’s exactly what we want.

✨ Thorough cuticle work
✨ Proper removal of shine
✨ Dehydration & priming
✨ Clean application, away from the skin

Retention isn’t about luck. It’s about technique.

When you respect the prep stage at the beginning of the treatment, you set your whole set up for success 💅

Prep right. Prime right. Place product correctly.
No lifting. No call-backs. Just flawless results.

I teach this in depth in both my courses. If you would like any more Info on any of my courses then drop me a message 💌

✨ I’m so excited to see so many new followers here! ✨

The energy and enthusiasm they brought was exactly what I love to see on my courses – loads of questions, really taking everything in, and actually wanting to understand each step properly.

They both worked hard, stayed focused, and you could see their confidence building as the day went on. That’s what it’s all about.

APEX placement matters .. 💡 Before ⬆️ after ⬇️

This client came to me today with acrylic already on.
No judgement, no shade — just an opportunity to educate 🤍

The apex is the highest point of the nail and it matters.
When acrylic isn’t placed in the correct area:
• the nail is weaker
• it’s more likely to snap or lift
• the shape won’t sit right long-term

In the photo below, you can see the correct placement of acrylic to create a strong, balanced apex — giving better structure, durability, and a cleaner finish overall.
Beautiful nails aren’t just about the look they are about the foundation 🙌🏼

This is taught in depth on my courses 💡
Correct structure, correct placement, correct results!
My next acrylic course is in April dates coming soon. DM me to be added on the list 💅🏻
