Designed especially for magazines, promotions, posters and presentations, the work must demonstrate advanced techniques with a flawless finish, nail perfection on an extreme nail. Just as fashion designers develop collections that incorporate day wear and extravagnant avant garde shapes and designs, the tech can do this in the nail realm.

French Twist

French Twist is common for competitions, and is a delicate yet classic form of French nail. it is usually made on a transparent extension, with the design encapsulated inside the free edge. This design draws maximum attention from clients, because being a transparent extension it creates a stained glass effect or 2-3D effect in depth. Every nail tech should try this at least once, because when created the result will amaze and stimulate the imagination to try more and clients will simply love it. It may seem difficult, but don't let that put you off, you will find the working time can be much shorter than with other seemingly simpler manicure styles.

"I love this nail because you can play with the design inside the nail."
