Gelpolish is known as UV Polish, Gelosophy, Shellac, Hybrid Manicure, Two Week Manicure etc. This individual course we will start with an explanation about the different types and then begin with manicure theory, focusing on topics such as the natural nail structure, hygienic procedures and manicure table set up.

We will work with professional products by Magnetic Nail Design, but if you already have some products and equipment, you can bring it with you for evaluation and advice.
