It’s funny… but it’s true 😅
If you really want to speed up your work, about 50% of it is learning how to talk to the hand, not the eyes.
Having everything prepared.
Your workstation ready.
Not walking around, not searching for tools.
And yes …talking to your client’s hand instead of looking her in the eyes while you talk.
It’s hard.
It takes practice.
And no …it doesn’t mean we’re ignoring our client.
It’s simply a smart, professional way to work faster without rushing or losing quality.
You still talk.
You still connect.
You just keep your focus where it needs to be.
And trust me once you master this,
your appointment time can be shorter… even by half. 💅
Dual Forms training recap 💅
The girls did an amazing job during our last Dual Forms training
I’m so proud of their work 🤍
And I want to share something important from that day too.
Sometimes, we can’t work on every nail
because there are contraindications.
And in those situations, we always have two safe options:
👉 reschedule the appointment, or
👉 ask the client to come back later just for that one nail, once it’s healed.
Client safety always comes first.
We never work when there are contraindications
no exceptions.
During this training, we had exactly this case, so one nail was left untouched.
But even with that limitation, the set turned out beautiful and it absolutely deserves to be shown here.
My student created stunning nails, even though she couldn’t work on one finger 🫡💪
That’s what professional work looks like:
✔️ knowing when NOT to work
✔️ respecting the nail condition
✔️ and still delivering beautiful results

Sandwich Dual Form
It’s an interesting method, but I won’t lie
for me, it feels a little bit overcomplicated.
I think it has some good sides and some bad sides.
The nails still look really beautiful, and I truly believe that with any technique we can reach the same result ,whether it’s dual forms or traditional extension.
In the end, we should simply work with the method we feel most comfortable with.
Today, during my training with the girls, we’ll be talking about Sandwich Dual Forms, but also about traditional forms and classic extensions.
So now I’m curious…
Are you Team Dual Forms or Team Traditional Extension? 💬💅

Meet Ilga 🤍
I met Ilga almost 9 years ago. I still remember the first training I gave her…
and I also remember the moment she came up to me in a shop and said:
“Mrs Ania Brodziak, I would love to do nails like you one day.”
I still remember those words until today😅😅😘
It always makes me smile when I think about how far she has come and the journey she has taken to follow her dream and build her business from the very beginning.
That’s why I’m truly happy and proud that she is now joining our team 🤍
From now on, Ilga will be taking care of your nails, and also offering lashes and brows.
📍 Ilga will be working at The Nail Shop from 3rd of February
📩 To book an appointment, please contact Ilga directly
Welcome to the team, Ilga 🤍

This beautiful hard gel from Excellent Pro
Blush Hexagon is truly something special.
It’s a hard gel with a sticky, thixotropic consistency, which makes it incredibly comfortable to work with.
It stays exactly where you place it, levels beautifully, and gives you full control during application.
You can use it for:
• Dual Forms
• Extensions on a form
• Refills and corrections
I absolutely love it for its unique consistency
it’s one of those gels that just works with you
not against you.
It’s also one of my favourite gels for correcting downward growing nails, because it holds structure perfectly and keeps the shape exactly where it should be.
Honestly, this is one of those gels that doesn’t need any colour at all.
The finish is so soft, elegant, and flawless that the effect alone is already beautiful.
Definitely one of my all-time favourites 🤍
