Inside the course

Understand the technique.
Refine your practice.

A one-day masterclass with demonstration and guided practice on yourself, covering preparation, gel and dual form selection, extension application, shaping and finishing. You can choose an optional second day for guided practice on a live model, giving you more time to apply the technique and refine each step with Natalia’s feedback.

  1. Russian manicure theory

    Understand the principles of Russian manicure, including cuticle and skin types, the combined use of manual tools and e-file bits, and safe, precise preparation before extension application.

  2. Dual forms theory

    Understand dual form types, fit and placement, and how nail plate shape and growth direction guide your approach. Explore gel selection, extension architecture and the principles of creating a clean underside imprint.

  3. Consultation & assessment

    Assess the nail plate and cuticle type to tailor preparation, product choice and dual form selection to the nails you are working with.

  4. E-file operation & e-file bits

    Select suitable bit materials, shapes and grits. Refine working speeds, pressure, control and equipment maintenance.

  5. 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.

  6. Gel & dual form selection

    Compare gels suitable for dual forms and select a form type to suit the natural nail and growth direction.

  7. Curing equipment & flash curing

    Explore suitable curing equipment and recommended flash-curing torches for your chosen gel system. Learn torch positioning, timing and technique to secure the dual form during application, followed by a full cure in the appropriate lamp according to the gel manufacturer’s instructions.

  8. Dual form application & imprint

    Learn to create a dual-form imprint on nails with no free edge. Refine form placement and controlled application around the cuticle area to achieve a clean, precise underside imprint that needs almost no refinement.

  9. Hard gel structure

    Work with self-levelling hard gel after the lower-form imprint to create a balanced extension.

  10. Underside refinement

    Learn how to refine nails from underneath where needed, preserving the clean imprint and balanced extension structure. Keep adjustments minimal for a smooth, clean underside.

  11. Free edge shaping & refinement

    Refine the free edge and surface for clean, proportionate salon extensions.

  12. Top coat & line of light

    Refine top-coat application for a smooth, even finish and a clean, aligned line of light.

  13. Photography basics

    Explore phone settings, lighting and hand positioning to photograph the detail of your finished work clearly.
