Who doesn't know it, the eternal struggle with the forms, because for many the application causes great difficulties. But we can change that! I'll show you how you can learn to cut them quickly and accurately, depending on the desired shape and length of the modeling. Because a successful sculpting job depends, among other things, on how the form sits.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE COURSE:

Explanations of when, how and why we cut a form. Examples, how and where you
can apply this knowledge. I will show you how the right cut influences the sculpturing
and changes the appearance and durability of the nails. In different case studies I explain to you the differences for each cut.

However, all this knowledge would be of little use without exercises and links.
In a separate workbook I have compiled practical and helpful exercises for you,
to help you recognize the special features of the nails, train your eye and cut the form perfectly.
