Foundation of Nail Structure

Correct nail form fitting is essential when sculpting any shaped nail using hard gel, acrygel, or liquid and powder. In this episode learn how to carefully assess the nail form to fit both width and length too, in order to create a perfectly straight nail extension. Nail forms not placed correctly can result in product seepage under the nail, if you aren't following the curvature of the natural nail. Let Giselle Cabellero explain perfectly how to measure and cut forms for the perfect nail form fit every time.

"Customizing your form is the first step to perfect structure."
