Course overview
Acrylic, understood from the foundation up.
The Acrylic Nail Foundation Course introduces students to the core skills needed to begin performing acrylic nail enhancement services safely and professionally.
Students learn how to prepare the natural nail, apply and blend nail tips, control acrylic liquid and powder, place acrylic beads, create balance and structure, refine the nail surface and complete a clean finish.
Acrylic is one of the more technical nail systems, so the course focuses on proper product control, structure, preparation, application and finishing from the beginning. Training is practical, direct and beginner-friendly, with focused trainer guidance throughout.
No prior nail experience is required. Students are guided step by step while building the confidence, discipline and technical understanding needed to continue developing in acrylic services.
What you will learn
Fourteen acrylic skills, taught in sequence.
