Inside the course
Understand the technique.

Two days of theory and guided self-practice in paper-form extensions and salon shapes.
Health & safety theory
Review contraindications, safe e-file operation, PPE and dust control, and recognise when a service should be adapted or referred.
Workspace setup: ergonomics, comfort & safety
Consider posture, seating, equipment placement and hand positioning to support comfortable, controlled working practices.
Consultation & hygiene
Review client consultation, tool cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation, and the handling of reusable and disposable tools.
E-file operation & e-file bits
Select suitable bit materials, shapes and grits. Refine working speeds, pressure, control and equipment maintenance.
Russian manicure preparation
Explore cuticle preparation using a combined method of manual tools and e-file bits for delicate, clean results, followed by skin polishing.
Gel systems & brush selection
Compare self-levelling and non-self-levelling gels, hardness, flexibility and suitable brushes for controlled application.
Form fitting & growth direction
Cut and fit paper forms to the natural nail. Assess growth direction and visualise the intended extension before application.
Gel application & architecture
Build a balanced apex and extension structure with controlled gel application and precise product distribution, aiming for minimal refining after curing.
Salon shapes & refinement
Practise almond, oval, square and squoval shapes. Refine sidewalls, the apex and free edge with appropriate filing patterns.
Correction & troubleshooting
Evaluate structural or shaping errors and practise refinement methods to improve symmetry and balance.
Gel polish & finishing
Refine colour application around the cuticle line and top-coat control for an even finish and a clear line of light.
