Here, I break down the techniques behind trending designs and explain the 'why' behind product choices so you can improve your skills. ## Photos and videos - [Video: In part two of my educational series, I discuss the two main types of temporary extensions: fake tips made of plastic and soft gel tips made of gel.

It almost always comes down to knowing your materials and prep. In these videos, I show you the specific difference between plastic tips and soft gel tips, and which builder gels to use for long-lasting, permanent results. Learning the technique is half the battle; knowing the right product is the other half. ### Understanding Nail Extensions Whether you are a beginner or looking to refine your technique, understanding the foundation is essential. I often see students confuse temporary plastic tips with professional soft gel tips. Plastic tips are quick, but soft gel is the industry standard for durability. ### Choosing the Right Materials 'Smile line small well' tips are favorites for a reason—they offer structural integrity. When you move to permanent extensions, you need to master three main mediums: * **Builder Gel:** For strength and structure. * **Acrylic Powder:** For durability. * **Poly Gel:** For flexibility and shaping. Knowing which one to pick depends on your client's nail bed and daily lifestyle. Using the wrong product is the fastest way to get a bad review. ### Mastering Trending Designs Technique isn't just about application; it's about art. Take 'Shell Art'—it looks intricate, but once you master the wing-like texture and layering, it becomes a staple in your portfolio. My tutorials aim to demystify these trends so you can replicate them confidently. ### Why Join My Academy?
