The right course.
For where you are.
Being experienced in nails does not always mean being experienced in Russian Manicure. Choose Foundations if the technique is new to you. Choose Professional when you already have practical experience and want extension training. Choose Advanced Masterclass for focused Dual Forms work.
Before you begin
A few
clear answers.
I'm a complete beginner. Where do I start?
Start with Foundations — Russian Manicure & Hard Gel. The Professional and Advanced courses require practical experience. If you choose the complete collection, begin with Foundations.
I already work with nails. Do I need Foundations?

How are Professional and Advanced different?
Professional includes Russian Manicure, Hard Gel and three extension methods: dual forms, paper forms and gel tips. Advanced Masterclass focuses on Dual Forms Ready To Go; Russian Manicure instruction is not included.
What is included in Complete Nail System?
