Nail trainer hand advice please

[Anna.22]

Hi all,
I'm looking to get a practice hand for acrylic and was just wondering if anyone could recommend one?
I've been looking but have no idea which ones are any good. I want to practice nail forms also so would I need something with a bit of a free edge?

Thanks

This is the one you want, it's fully jointed like a real hand so you hold it as you would a client. You get nail plates that clip into the fingertips then you can extend and unclip.

It clips onto your table too. Good quality and will last and last and then sell on eBay for decent money when you've had enough of it

Ah just seen you want to use forme as well, I would imagine you'd be able to but sure someone will confirm

I just ordered mine off aliexpress from a seller with excellent reviews X

Yes you can use nail forms with the essential nails practice hand but I would recommend filing the fake nail plate thinner to look like that of a real nail as it makes application far easier and more realistic, particularly when sculpting acrylic.

That's great! Thanks for all your replys

I can vouch for the Nail Trainer; its an excellent learning tool and great for doing new designs.

Yes my first course was gels and I used it then

Gels, acrylics, nail art, one stroke art... pretty versatile.

Yes it is. You can get the original nail trainer and practice nails from Essential Nails website; www.essentialnails.com

I might add, if you are using nail tips, they are ok to create extensions, but if you are using nail forms, they will not adhere to the finger tips; you might need to use reusable forms which they sell.
