Acrylic Nail Course

The original extension system, Acrylic Tip and Overlay continues to be the most popular with Nail Technicians and their clients worldwide.

It’s beautiful, strong and natural looking and is the system every serious Nail Technician has to master in order to provide a full service.

An ideal first course for those with confidence and for those that want to attract the most customers. It’s the perfect follow-on course if you’ve completed the Gel course as many of the techniques used to tip the nail are identical for both Gel and Acrylic.

Acrylic Tip and Overlay Nails: what you will learn


After learning the basics about the nail industry, your tools, and products, we show you how to choose, fit and blend an appropriate nail extension tip. Then you’ll learn how to produce the perfect mix of Acrylic liquid and powder and how to apply it to the different areas of the nail. Shaping the Acrylic to a perfect profile and finish is a critical step and covered in minute detail on a single finger and then again on the various nail shapes and sizes on the whole hand. At the end of the course you’ll be able to service your first client and charge your first fee!
