What you’ll learn
An intermediate course, taught in person at our East Tamaki academy.
Acrylic is the strongest and most versatile extension system in the industry, and this three-day course builds it from the chemistry up: how monomer and polymer work together, what a correct mix ratio looks like, and why the bead you pick up determines everything that follows. You'll cover nail shapes, prep and tip application, bead formation and sizing, placement and blending, and safe removal.
The centrepiece is our signature Acrylic Flow Method, which places the first bead at the cuticle so the product flows toward the apex before blending and tapering. It's designed to give you a correct apex and C-curve every time, and it's far more forgiving to learn than traditional placement. Prior nail experience is required. We recommend completing our Foundations of Nails course first, or you can enrol with an existing nail certification or self-taught experience — proof of prior skills required.
