I decided it was time to update my workspace a little, so I replaced my manicure tables and chose a new countertop this time. I’m honestly so happy with how everything turned out!
I really love the quality of the countertop—it looks beautiful and is very practical for everyday work.
I wanted to share all the links with you here. I’m also planning to continue updating my workspace, adding new details, and trying new things. As always, I’ll keep sharing all the latest updates and links with you🤍

New lesson is now available inside the club! You can find this lesson in the Russian Manicure & Hard Gel course under Additional Lessons → Lesson 4
Very often, these types of hands look like they have a lot of cuticle that can be deeply cleaned and trimmed without any issues. However, that is not always the case.
I will show you how to safely open the cuticle pocket, avoid packing it with pterygium, properly work with the flame bit in both forward and reverse, remove attachments, and achieve a clean result without overworking the skin.
I also go over some important details, including how to work in more sensitive areas, how to control your bit position, and how to achieve a clean manicure while keeping the procedure safe for your client.
Enjoy watching! ❤️
