- Day 1
E-file theory & safety
Understand handpiece grip, working position, direction, RPM and pressure. Learn to avoid heat, discomfort and overworking the nail or surrounding skin.
- Day 1
E-file bits & working speeds
Select suitable bit shapes, materials and grits. Review tool cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation, and adapt speed and movement to the area you are working with.
- Day 1
Nail & skin assessment
Assess the nail plate, cuticle, proximal fold and sidewalls. Recognise skin types, choose a suitable approach and identify when preparation should be adapted.
- Day 1
Cuticle pocket preparation
Use e-file bits and manual tools in a combined method to open the cuticle pocket and prepare the surrounding skin safely, efficiently and precisely.
- Day 1
Scissor work & skin polishing
Refine scissor positioning, blade control and cuticle trimming, then polish the skin for a clean finish. Practise on your own hand with live feedback.
- Day 2
Consultation & nail assessment
Assess your model’s nail condition, length, shape and cuticle type. Tailor preparation and BIAB product choice to the nails in front of you.
- Day 2
Safe product removal
Remove existing product with controlled e-file movements, suitable bits, RPM and pressure, protecting the natural nail underneath.
- Day 2
Nail preparation & adhesion
Refine the nail shape and combine mechanical preparation with suitable prep liquids and base products for the nail type and selected system.

Complete Russian manicure
Bring the preparation sequence together on your model. Refine e-file angles, hand positioning, cuticle work and skin finishing with continuous guidance.
- Day 2
BIAB structure & product control
Build a thin, balanced and supportive structure. Refine apex placement, stress areas, sidewalls, brush control and self-levelling to minimise unnecessary filing.
- Day 2
Thin, even colour application
Apply colour evenly with strong pigmentation and minimal bulk. Refine brush placement close to the proximal fold and sidewalls for clean contours and smooth coverage.

Top coat & line of light
Control product quantity and brush movement for even top-coat application and a clean, uninterrupted line of light.
