Best of all, it is incredibly rare to see any lifting at all when clients return after 4+ weeks!
Genre is the name I gave to this nail enhancement technique as it incorporates elements of a variety of nail enhancing products to create the most durable nail enhancement. It is a layering technique using 100% gel polish and fine acrylic powder, which can confidently be used with no damage to the natural nail.
Genre can be used on the natural nail as an overlay, with tips, and is incredibly strong as sculpted extensions as well. Did I mention no finish filing on fills, reducing the dust and saving time?
It"s a WIN WIN and the latest technique in the future of nail enhancing.
This workshop will cover in detail: hand and e-file prep, Genre technique on natural nails, tips, and customizing forms for beautiful sculpting, to pretty polish finish.
