Nail Trainer practice nails that
have been specially designed. You receive 20 each of 5 different shapes

you can practice "true to life" application.
Several varieties
of nail refit packs are available
from our shopping cart. |
NOT POSSIBLE |
CAN I USE MY OWN NAIL PRODUCTS ON THE HAND?
 |
<-- YES! You may use any brand of
liquid/powder acrylic, gels, wraps, etc.) but it is recommended
that you use the acrylic primer and gel prep products included
in the kit to prevent damage to the Nail Trainer nails. Obviously,

NOT POSSIBLE |
CAN I SCULPT DIRECTLY ON THE HAND'S NAILS?

<-- YES! Use the Nail
Trainer nails as if they were a client's fingernails and
sculpt to your heart's content. Simply attach a metal
form to the finger and away you go! |
SOMETIMES but with most brands, you must
first apply an extension. |
REGARDING REMOVAL OF THE PRODUCT, CAN I POP ANOTHER NAIL
IN THE HAND AND PRACTICE AGAIN RIGHT AWAY?
 |
<-- YES! This is one
of the biggest advantages to having a Nail Trainer.
There's no messy removal or clean-up to worry with so
no time is wasted in your practice routine. This also
helps to build your confidence level as well as improve
your application and filing speeds because you are able
to practice more often.
|
NO, the product must be manually filed
away or soaked off first. |

FROM ONE SET TO ANOTHER, AND OVER SEVERAL WEEKS/MONTHS?
|
<-- YES! Two cleverly designed
assessment cards (1, 2) are included in every Nail Trainer nail training kit to
allow you to visually track your improvements. Your instructor
can also use these cards to help you master your skills faster.
Remember, "Practice
makes perfect!" |
NOT POSSIBLE |
CAN I PRACTICE MY NAIL ART SKILLS ON THE NAIL TRAINER'S
NAILS?
|
<-- YES! Most of the nails in the Nail
Trainer kit are suitable for practicing both free hand nail
art as well as airbrushing. (Nail Trainer "Nail art nails" are perfect for all nail art purposes--available
in our shopping cart.) |
NO
The nail plates are too short to accommodate nail art, especially
airbrushing, without manually building an extension first. |
CAN I USE IT TO ADVERTISE MY NAIL EXTENSIONS AND NAIL ART
CREATIONS?
|
<-- YES! Please do! It's the quickest
way to attract attention to YOU because it makes a great
conversation piece at your workstation. Also, because of
it's adjustable arm, it can be positioned out of the way
so it won't take up any space on your desk top. Pop
the nails out and replace with new designs often to invite
add-on services. Keep to showcase on your Nail Art Designs Display Card(s). |
YES, but it'd take up valuable room on
your desk top and the nails and designs |
WHEN I ORDER IT, ARE THERE ANY INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED
TO SHOW ME HOW TO USE IT TO THE MAXIMUM BENEFIT?
|
<-- YES! A full featured,
12 minute, graphically enriched demo DVD accompanies
every Nail Trainer kit. It explains how to take
advantage of Nail Trainer's multiple uses.
