Click to go back to the top of this page.

 
7. Can I practice different shapes and sizes of nails?

NAIL TRAINER - YES! The Nail Trainer kit includes 100 Nail Trainer nails that have been specially designed to maximize your ability to do all kinds of nails in a salon environment. You receive 20 each of 5 different shapes and sizes--from a wide nail to a nail biter's nail--giving you the maximum training potential.

8. Can I use my own brand of nail products on the nails of the Nail Trainer?

NAIL TRAINER - YES! You may use any brand of liquid/powder acrylic, gels, wraps, etc., but it is recommended that you use the acrylic primer and gel prep products included in the Nail Trainer kit to prevent damage to the Nail Trainer nails. Obviously, use only non-acetone to remove polish.

OTHER HANDS - Usually, but it depends on the type of hand you have.

Click to go back to the top of this page.

 
9. Can I practice maintenance, fills, and repairing nails on the Nail Trainer's nails?

NAIL TRAINER - YES! Specially designed Nail Trainer "maintenance nails" are included to enable you to practice filing down the crown, shortening the free edge, repairing chips and cracks, then filling in the gap near the cuticle.
(Packs of maintenance nails and maintenance cards are available from our shopping cart.)

10. Can I sculpt nail extensions directly on the Nail Trainer's nails?

NAIL TRAINER - YES! Use the Nail Trainer nails as if they were a client's fingernails and sculpt to your heart's content. Simply attach a metal form to the finger and away you go!

Metal Nail Forms for Sculpting on a Nail Trainer


Additional information -  Sources to purchase reusable teflon nail forms on the internet:
USA   -   Europe

 

Note:  Paper nail forms may also be used but make sure the brand you use has a super-sticky backing.

OTHER HANDS - Sometimes, but with most brands you must first apply an extention tip.

Click to go back to the top of this page.

 
11. Regarding removal of the nail overlay product, can I pop another nail into the hand and practice again right away?

NAIL TRAINER - YES! This is one of the biggest advantages to having a Nail Trainer. There's no messy removal or clean-up to worry with so no time is wasted in your practice routine. This also helps to build your confidence level as well as improve your application and filing speeds because you are able to practice more often.

OTHER HANDS - No, the product must be manually filed off or soaked off first.

Click to go back to the top of this page.

 
12. Is there any way to track my progess and improvements from one set of nails to another, and over several weeks of practice?

NAIL TRAINER - YES! Two cleverly designed self-assessment cards are included in every Nail Trainer kit to allow you to visually track your improvements. Your instructor can also use these cards to help you master your skills faster. Remember, "Practice makes perfect!"

OTHER HANDS - Not possible.

Click to go back to the top of this page.

 
13. Can I practice my nail art and airbrushing skills on the Nail Trainer's nails?

NAIL TRAINER - YES! Most of the nails in the Nail Trainer kit are suitable for practicing both free hand nail art as well as airbrushing.  However, there are Nail Trainer "nail art nails" also available which are perfect for all nail art purposes (in our shopping cart).

  Nail Trainer Nail Art Nails Pack

OTHER HANDS - No.   The nail surface of the nails are too short to accommodate nail art (specially airbrushed nails), without manually building a nail extension first.

Click to go back to the top of this page.

 
14. Can I use Nail Trainer to advertise my nail extensions and nail art designs?

NAIL TRAINER -YES! Please do! It's the quickest way to attract attention to YOU because this usual looking hand makes a great conversation piece at your workstation. Also, because of its adjustable arm, it can be positioned out of the way so it won't take up any space on your desk top. Pop the nails out and replace with new nail art designs often to invite add-on services. Keep the decorated nails to showcase in your Designs Display Card(s).

OTHER HANDS - YES, but it would take up valuable room on your desk top and the nail art designs could NOT be removed and exchanged for other designs.

Click to go back to the top of this page.

 
15. I am a US resident. The STATE BOARD ASSOCIATION in my state does not allow human models during examinations.  Can I use the Nail Trainer hand during practical test taking?

NAIL TRAINER - YES! Most State Board examiners allow Nail Trainers during exams so please feel free to impress your judges! (But always check with your nail instructor first.)

OTHER HANDS - YES, but its use may be awkward, wasting valuable minutes during the timed exam.

Click to go back to the top of this page.

18. How can I order more products and accessories for the Nail Trainer hand-- like more nails, more nail tips, more glue, etc.?
 

ALL Nail Trainer replacement supplies can be purchased separately HERE. Most items include discounts for multiple purchases.

Click to go back to the top of this page.
 
19. Does acrylic, gel, silk, fiber, or any other nail extension tools or products come with any of the Nail Trainer kits?
No. Although there are 9 items included in the BASIC Nail Trainer kit (pictured and described above), and even more additional items included in many other Nail Trainer kits we offer, NONE of them contain the kinds of products you are referring to.  There are several definitive reasons for this:
Items like these are NOT included.  Here's why:

1) We specialize in nails TRAINING only... not nail extension supplies and products.  (We do what we do best and we will let other companies do what they do best.)
2) If we included specific brands of nail extension products, you would not be able to choose your preferred brand.
3) You can easily obtain nail extension supplies in your local area.  Alternatively, you can find them on the net, from suppliers in your country.
4) The cost of the kit would increase substantially (not to mention the shipping costs would also increase due to the added weight of the kit).
