BOOK THE 3 APPLYING FORMS WORKSHOPS & GET THE WORKSHOP REFILL WITH FORMS FREE
Form Techniques Working with forms is much more efficient than working with tips because it saves time and you can offer a lot more possibilities. To get these techniques under your belt you should choose one of the following workshops:
● APPLYING FORMS ‘FULL COLOUR’ Using forms instead of tips offers a great many possibilities. You can extend the natural nails with stencils and strengthen them at the same time. This way you integrate the extension into the gel nail which results in a more natural look. Your customers will enjoy the more comfortable and natural effect. In this workshop you will learn the technique that guarantees a perfect application of forms and how to build-up the gel nails. Come and discover which gels you need in order to create the perfect gel nails in lovely, deep rich colours. Ideal for those who currently work with tips, or who want to perfect their form technique. 24
● APPLYING FORMS ‘FRENCH MANICURE’ Using forms to extend and strengthen nails is also ideal when creating a French manicure. It enables you to start off with a completely smooth base. However, you first need to learn the optimal technique for using forms and to discover which gels you should use to extend and build up. Knowledge about base and builder gels is essential. In this workshop you learn the technique for optimal forms techniques, but we also look closely at how to apply a perfect French manicure to these extensions. The proportions for the perfect smile line, shape and c-curve are extremely important.
● APPLYING FORMS ‘CAMOUFLAGE TECHNIQUE’ The camouflage technique was created to ensure that even customers with very short nails or nail biters can have beautiful gel nails. By using the reverse technique you can also ensure that you respect the proportions for the perfect French manicure. Thanks to the knowledge you acquire, you will be able to satisfy all your customers. No compromises, just beautiful gel nails for everyone.
● REFILL WITH FORMS ‘FULL COLOUR’ Giving all your customers ten beautiful perfectly even nails is the ultimate goal of every nail technician. In this workshop we teach you how to do that time and time again. Nails grow, so your client will regularly turn to you to deal with the refill. How do you fill the nails so that you can ensure the perfect application of a new set? When carrying out refills we are often confronted with tears and splits. We show you how to carry out these small repairs. You also learn how to make intelligent use of filling techniques that will save you a lot of time. Only in combination with an ‘applying forms’ workshop 25
