*The technique all beginners struggle with most are a perfect polish job


1) Practice on Guides      2) On the Trainer        3) On your nails


AFTER FINISHING ABOVE SKILLS,

1) Practice on ArtNails’ Teaching Guides- Do not fear for making the mistakes
(We suggest you do practice first on a flat nail art images on the guides.  Each nail art design usually has four stages.
Follow them in order and you will soon discover how talented you are!  And each guide has many blank nails
for you to carry out your own ideas to fire your imagination)
2) Hold one of the Vrush-Pen nail art brushes
3) Dip the brush into the paint
4) Paint on the Trainer the same way you practiced on the Teaching Guides
The more you make mistakes the more you learn nail art FAST!
5) Practice on both Teaching Guides & Trainers.
