So you see investing your time in this event will in fact be a real great investment in yourself. Enjoy! Hi, I'm Sandrine, head educator at Pronails and I'm very happy to be here today with you. And today I would like to talk about the most common misconceptions that exist in our fabulous profession. This subject has never been as topical as it is now. In fact, the last few months we have all been shaken. We have had to question ourselves and get out of our comfort zone. We have had to unlearn the old ways of doing things in order to relearn new ones. For example, where we thought that learning was only possible by going to a training room and being assisted by a trainer, we realized that training also possible was without having to leave home thanks to the online training courses. These also offer an enormous flexibility when you have a busy professional agenda. Where we thought that our financial income depended solely on the treatments we provided, we realized how selling projects could become an equally important financial return. Previously, when we wanted to announce something to our customers, we sent text messages. Now we make a video on Instagram or TikTok. All this to tell you that life is a constant learning process, which requires us to learn, then unlearn by questioning oneself, daring to ask the question, is what I know still right, and to relearn by up-to-date training. You have to be able to forget what you think you know in order to be able to relearn what you need to know to evolve and succeed. Let's now unlearn and relearn together. I would like to share with you five common misconceptions that many experienced nail technicians believe. First misconception. It is best for the natural nail to prepare it with a nail file or buffer. You already know that the ideal grid for preparing natural nails for gel treatments is the 180 grit. But the tool you use for the 180 grit is essential for a good long-lasting result. You might think that using a file or a buffer is safer and that you cannot damage the natural nail. Well, no. The file is a tool that we love to use and that is ideal for filing nails into shapes. But when it comes to preparing the nail plate, it is really not the right tool to use. Why? First of all, a file, whatever type or shape, even if it is rounded like banana or half moon files, is too wide to allow you to work with precision on the nail and to get closer to the cuticle area without damaging and injuring your client's cuticles. Also, as it is a tool that you assume is harmless, you will not hesitate to file several times over the same places on critical areas for good adhesion, such as the sides and the cuticle area. And without realizing it, the nail will be excessively filed so it will become thinner, more flexible, and the product adhesion will be reduced. We must also avoid using a buffer. No matter how much we love to use it. Why? Because any grain placed on a form material has a finishing touch purpose and not a nail preparation purpose. The buffers will certainly mattify the nail plate, but they will also smoothen it, which will not allow a long lasting adhesion for gel nails. Preparing the natural nail with the sander is the best, the most efficient, the most precise, and the fastest way to prep the natural nail for gel nails. And the best tool to use is a rubber bit with a disposable fine white crates sander which has a 180 grit. This is a single use tool, so you will use a new sander for each client, which also guarantees a perfect hygiene for your clients. There we come to the second misconception. Using a primer with acid is always better for adhesion. We may think that the more aggressive the primer or bond that we use, the better the adhesion on the nails will be. No. To understand this, let me explain a little more about the primer. How do primers work? A primer works like a double sided adhesive tape. One end of the primer's molecular chain perfectly matches the nail plate and forms a perfect bond with the keratin in the nail. The other end of the primer's molecular chain perfectly matches the monomer and polymer chain of the gel. This is how we get a nice bond between both nail and gel. A greasy nail still contains a green residue on the nail plate which will need acid to be dissolved, so you will need an acid primer for this. If that grease is not removed, the primer cannot come into contact with the keratin in the nail and then a nice bond cannot be created, so you will not have a good adhesion. No. Why is it not recommended to use an acid based primer on any type of nail? Because acids are naturally aggressive and can cause sensitization in the long run. This could cause clients to develop acrylic allergies that could haven't been avoided with acid free primers. And you know that once someone has developed an acrylic allergy, wearing gel nails can sometimes be gone for good. They may even develop other allergies and may not even tolerate nail polish. Also, the keratin structure of a dry nail is also negatively affected by using an overly aggressive acid based primer. So, don't do this. Always choose the primer in function of the natural nail, the acid free primer for normal dry and sensitive nails. The universal primer which is acid based for greasy nails. This brings us to another misconception about primers. Adhesion is better when more primer is used. No. Absolutely not. Now you know why it is important to use the right primer for the right type of nail. Equally important is to use the right amount of primer because too much primer kills the grip. Have you ever seen your base gel retract? That's an important sign that you're using too much primer. If you are using an acid based primer on your clients with greasy nails, you may even see your base gel retract even before she puts her hand in the lamp. When you're using an acid free primer, you won't even notice anything until your client takes her hand out of the lamp. Here again, the base gel can retract. And even if you cannot see it with the naked eye, the adhesion has been compromised. Why does too much primer cause a poorer adhesion? Well, first of all, let's look at the ideal primer layer. The ideal quantity of primer is what we call a monolayer. It's a single layer of primer molecules that on one side bonds to the keratin of the nail and on the other side bonds to the gel, just like a double sided tape. If you use more primer than necessary, you get an oversaturated primer layer where the cohesion, which is the attraction between the same kind of molecules, so between the primer with itself, is greater than the adhesion, which is the attraction between different kinds of molecules, so between the primer and both the nail and the base gel. When you use too much primer, this may result in visible retraction of the base gel that you apply on top of the primer. If this is familiar to you, pay attention to how much primer you use. Let's continue with misconception number four. The more I cure my gel, the better it is. If you ever ask your client to put her hand two or three times more under the curing lamp, you've done this out of fear of under curing. If you are facing under curing issues, then the light of your lamp simply does not match with the formula of your gel. In other words, the wavelength of the light from your lamp is either too long or too short to trigger the photo initiator to start the curing process. In this case, just get the right lamp. Now, if you cure longer than the required curing time of the gel and proceed to excessive curing, it will result in accelerated gel wear and deterioration, which can cause yellowing, brittleness and breakage. The last one, misconception number five, the stress point is in the middle of the gel nail. Be careful. You might think that when applying a gel nail that the stress point is located right in the middle of the whole gel nail. But no, this is not the case. The stress point represents the nail area that will undergo all the shock waves and twist due to the client's activity. Regardless of the length of the nails, this area is always in the middle of the nail bed, so you will ignore the free edge. It is therefore this area that we must strengthen to avoid breakage and, of course, the longer the nail, the more product will be needed in this area. Afterwards, to keep a thing looking aesthetic, it will be important to gradually use less gel towards the end of the free edge. However, be careful when filing to not excessively file the laterals, otherwise you will immediately weaken your stress point protection. I hope you enjoyed this time together and I wish you the best for the future. Take care and see you soon. Hello everybody. Thank you for joining us today at this digital event that we are hosting to celebrate the launch of the new Pronails Collection for autumn, winter 21, which is available as from today in our online store for professional nail stylists on pronails.com, but also, of course, in your local Pronails distributor store. So be sure to go pay them a visit after this digital event so you can see all of these beautiful new nail colors and products in real life. Hi, Michael. You might already have seen me in one of our previous launch events and as creative director for Pronails, I will now gladly introduce you to the new first collection of the season. To kick off this new season, Pronails is launching a collection that will allow you and your customers to enjoy the pure perfection of natural and neutral nail shades, shades that will really enhance the natural beauty of your hands and nails. And in many ways, these six new collection colors really are the bare essentials for your nail salon, which is why, of course, we call this collection the bare essentials collection. Now, during the pandemic, we all had a lot of time to think about things and it allowed us to figure out what really matters to us, what we want in life. And today, people want to live a more balanced, a more healthy life, and especially they want to be fully in touch with their true self, which is why we crave for a fresh, clean and healthy look, whether it's our fashion or beauty or nails. And since we reinvented who we are, we want to feel and also look fresh and reborn, leaving room for nothing but the bare essentials. Now, this brings forward a new trend color palette and it's a neutral color palette that brings our natural beauty center stage. It holds as many different shades than there are skin tones in this world because the skin we're in, it's important to us. And making a daily skincare routine becomes a vital element of our beauty regime. Now, these warm and natural colors for nails, they really enhance our natural elegance and glow and they offer a no makeup look for nails. They're barely visible, but all the more stylish. And for the bare essentials, we selected six neutral colors, the ultimate neutral colors, in fact, that go from white to light pink to nude to more beige tones. And they're essential colors that will remain important throughout all the season. The biggest advantage of these cool colors is that they really suit everything and everyone. So everyone, every salon should have them. Of course, all six colors will be available in our three different professional nail color qualities, which is of course the Jella color gel, the soap polish semi permanent and the long wear nail polish. Now, with this collection, you will have the perfect neutral shade for every client that is looking for a natural look. And for every occasion also, they are far more than just a trend. These timeless nudes, they will last for years. They're perfect for a subtle everyday look or for bridal nails. It's your way as a nail technician to offer every client the perfect natural color. With your expertise and with the wide choice of shades, you will be able to match her complexion perfectly. Now, let's go into detail and let's discover the six different colors. First, we have opening dance and it's a new nail color like the rich glow of a flowy white silk dress. Nails dressed in this shade, they will dance and sparkle with every move you make. It's a perfect shade for that one special day, but equally so to make every day special. It's a clean, fresh, white nail color with a milky undertone and a subtle pinkish silky shimmer. It will be of course available in soap polish, angelic and long wear, like all six bare essentials colors, like all new colors. And again, in this beautiful Limbs Edition Pro Nails 40 years ago. Next, we have holding hands and it's a bright natural shade, a white shade, but this time with a rosy undertone. And it's the perfect mix between white and a very, very light pink. In fact, all bare essentials are slightly transparent, which is especially nice with this holding hands pinkish white shade, where you can really play with this transparency depending on whether you apply it in two or one layer. Next, we have sweet gesture and this is a more pronounced light pink. It's soft and sweet at the same time. It's the perfect hue to ensure no small gesture will go unnoticed. And also when living more indoors during autumn and winter, also your feet deserve a sweet gesture like this color. Because of course it's not because it's winter that we need to neglect our feet. Next, we have bare necessity and as the name says it, this color is an absolute must have in your cell. If you need one color, this should be it. Why? Well, bare necessity is the ultimate nude color that everyone is looking for. The color, the right nude that you've been looking for all along because it holds both cold and warm elements. It's not too pink, not too peach, not too beige, not too yellow, not too light, not too dark. It's exactly right. Exactly how a nude shade should be. Very neutral, completely balanced. And it's there for a color that will suit almost every customer with both light and darker skin tone. The next shade is close contact and it's also a brownish nude, but this time it's a few shades darker than bare necessity. And without the pink subtone. Now this shade is the darkest nude shade of the bare essentials collection. Of course, bronials has even darker nude shades in our color range if you would be needing them for your customers. And finally, we have subtle move. Subtle move is a neutral shade that will make even the subtlest movement of your hands noticeable due to its contemporary elegance. Like coffee with milk, this color has a more beige, more yellow undertone than most of these other nudes. In fact, sandy beige tones are very present in fashion, which is why this color specifically will give a very contemporary nail look, even if it is slightly more difficult to wear for certain skin tones than the more accessible pinkish nudes. Now, even the bare essential colors are natural shades that are perfect for clean and neutral and simple, just colored nail look. They also offer the perfect base for delicate and minimalistic nail art that are so trendy today. And my colleague is going to show you later on during this launch some truly amazing and very inspiring trend looks and nail art ideas that you can all create with these new colors. So make sure to stay tuned for that. Now, all new Jellak and so Polish colors will again be available in the limited edition collection box for this season, containing all 12 seasonal colors, meaning of course, the six new bare essential colors plus six new colors that I still have to introduce and that will come up next. For the new seasonal collection boxes, we also made two new marketing tools that you will get totally for free in these boxes. It's one is a new and unique rose gold and metallic 40 years window sticker, making your customers ready to celebrate the holidays. And also, we have a new very practical, small double sided and standalone end card that you can place on your counter or anywhere in your cellar to communicate that these new colors have arrived and are available in your cellar. Besides that, there's another free gift in this box, amazing, a limited edition product, but that we will show you later. Now, to put focus on these new natural shades, we have made some new selling displays and display visuals. And this way, the bare essentials collection really gets center stage in your cellar. We also have two beautiful posters and a banner that will show your customers just how elegant and fresh these neutral nail shades can look. And also on social media, we will be sharing a lot more inspiration for you and your salon customers on how to wear these new colors and how to create beautiful looks with them.

Hi, I'm Els, Product Developer at Prunels and today I will explain to you how to offer every customer the natural nail look she is looking for. With our bare essentials collection, you have the perfect set of new colors available in your salon. A natural nail look can enhance the natural beauty of your customer. But how do you know which color is the right one for them? Let me give you some extra help and give you some insights on this subject. The beauty is in every client. Every customer is different and there's beauty in everyone with a different skin tone, individual style, different personality, age, hair and so on. As you know, a natural nail look should be adapted to every specific customer. Otherwise, you will have a dull or unflattering look instead of a fresh, clean and natural one. So, why nude colors? First of all, all natural nails and natural looking makeup are trending. People want to look their best in a way that brings their natural beauty out instead of covering it up. It is exactly the same with nails. They need to be subtle and impeccable. These colors will be important as a trend color but equally important as a timeless classic. It's a look that can be worn all year around with every possible outfit and for every occasion. Now, creating the perfect elegant natural nail look is like an art form. You need to create the perfect nail shape, naturally thin but yet strong, correct or cover up imperfections of the natural nail and above all, choose the perfect color for your customer. The wrong nail color will look unflattering and will reveal any imperfections and you don't want it. But how do you advise your customer on the right color when she decides to pick a nude one? Well, here are three important questions that you could ask. When your customer comes to the salon and she asks a natural nail, she usually has a pretty good idea what she wants the final effect to look like. So your first question should always be what end result are you looking for? Do you want your nails to be blend in or to stand out? Should the nail blend and match her skin tone or can stand out in contrast a little? For example, it could be slightly darker or lighter than skin. Does your client want a covering or a transparent color? So should her natural nails still be visible? You can help out every client with her bare essentials collection. They are semi-transparent when you apply them as a single nail. And by applying two layers, you achieve the fully covering look. The second and also most important question is, what is the natural skin color and undertone of your customer? The answer on this question will define the right color for her. The natural skin color is quite easy to determine. A customer's skin goes from really white and fair to dark and black and all shades in between. Each skin tone has its own specific natural beauty and this will define how dark or light your nude nail color should be, depending of course on if she wants it blended in or contrasting. Next to the natural skin color is the natural skin tone, which is a warmth of the skin tone. It's a little bit harder to see, but it's really key when it comes to choosing the most fledgling nail color for her. In general, there are two types of skin tones, colder ones and warmer ones. Skins with a colder undertone are like the women on the left. They usually have a more pinkish undertone, but it can also be more blue or even grayish. And the skin color on the right has a warm undertone. This tone is normally more yellow. In the picture, you can easily see the difference between the two. More pinkish one and a more yellow one. But I have to say it's not always easy to define the skin tone on a person's side. So let me give you some extra tips. Here you see how colors are traditionally divided in cold and warm colors. The colors on the left are considered as cold. As you can see, they are more pinkish, blueish and green. The colors on the right are more yellow and orange, which are considered as warm. You can use this as a guide for your skin tone decision. But keep in mind, when a client has a cold undertone, cold colors are more flattering and vice versa. It's important to know that both light and dark skin tones can have a cold or warm undertone, as you see on the picture. All the skin tones on the left go from really white with a pinkish undertone to very dark with a blueish undertone or cold. On the right, you can see possible variations of warm skin tones, which can be equally light or dark but always have this yellow undertone. Here are some extra tips. For cold skin tones, silver jewelry is the most flattering. For warm skin tones, gold is what you need, but be careful. Gold is very, very trending at the moment, so it's possible that your client is wearing gold because she is just following the trend. Another tip is to ask your customer what she would pick when she wants a bright nail. Would she rather wear hot pinks or pinkish reds like when in love, Dragonfruit Spacesuit or Scuba Pink? Or would she pick a more yellow shade like corals or orangy reds? The last ones are more pretty when you have a warm undertone. Here is my final tip. Do the paper trick. Hold a perfectly white piece of paper next to your client's skin. You will immediately see if the skin is more pinkish-cold or more yellowish-warm. Now, the third and final question you should ask is the skin tanned, yes or no? A vacation or sunny days can temporarily change the color of the skin. It can be slightly warmer and darker by the time. That's why a color for a customer can be different during summer and winter time. So let me show you with this overview which are the right colors to use once you answer the three questions. Decide on the end result, the skin color and maybe the most important one, the undertone. This last element is the main driver in choosing the perfect color for your client. For example, when your client has a cold undertone more pale white and pinkish or a bluish hue then she is better with a white and pink nude shade like opening dance, sweet gesture or holding hands. When she has a more grayish olive undertone you will better pick a color that's not too pink or not too yellow. Bare necessity will be the perfect one for her. When you have a warmer undertone that is more yellow with green veins and skin with often freckles then she would be best with a brown or beige nude shade. The perfect colors for her are bare necessity, close contact or subtle mood. When you have a warm undertone that is more olive then you are better with a gold nude shade like subtle mood. So as you can see, our bare essential collection is the perfect selection for all your customers. It's going from very light to dark skin tones and from cold to warm undertones. Opening dance is our first color starting from the left side. It's the perfect white shade with a pinkish iridescent shimmer which is perfect for light cold skin tones or dark cold skin tones that likes a more contrasting look. Holding hands is a type of white with a pink undertone. It's the perfect color for a cold skin tone. Sweet gesture is a very light pink shade that is more flattering to colder skin tones. Close contact has white and brown inside with a more yellowish base. This is perfect for warm skin tones and it's even our darkest nude color in the collection. Bare necessity is a bit lighter and has a touch of coral pink in it. It has both warm and cold elements inside. This makes it the perfect nude color for a lot of skin types. From dark to light and from cold to warm. The final color on the collection is subtle mood. It's a mixture of brown, white and yellow. So a color that's ideal for warm yellowish skin type since it has the most yellow inside. To end, let me give you a final tip. Style always trumps color. If your customer really wants a very specific style and color please follow her lead and together you will come up with a stunning result. The most important part is that it will satisfy her. And also, a mistake is easily spotted. If you apply color and it looks dull or not fresh just remove it and go for another one. The more mature the skin is the more important it is to wear the right color. Usually this type of skin is grayer and duller and you don't want it to emphasize this. Usually the skin has a colder undertone so yellow nude colors are not well suited. And finally, you can add a shimmer to make a new tone colder or warmer by adding our silver or rose gold top coat. Remember, silver for gold and gold for warm. I hope these tips can help you understand how to identify the skin tone and undertone of every customer. The right color will bring out the natural beauty for everyone and that is what every customer wants. They will love you for it and they will look forward to coming. As usual, we also launched a second collection for the upcoming winter season. This time, however, our two collections could not be more different. In fact, they really are quite literally different as day and night. As are the two main important trends for this season. Because where the bare essentials are in fact totally seasonless colors that are perfect for everyday timeless elegance, the next collection is clearly a very dressed up, special occasion winter collection. Whose whole idea is to add once again a touch of extravagance and glamour to everyday life now that we can finally socialize and go out again. Let's find out what it's all about. This collection is in fact all about last night. Do you remember the time where we used to go out and have all night parties, usually followed by sharing crazy pictures on social media the next day using the hashtag about last night showing our glamorous outfits, spectacular party venues from the night before to inside some extra FOMO with those who didn't come? Well, today those times are finally here again. Now, even if COVID is still lurking behind the corner, now that many of us are fully vaccinated, we're finally getting back to normal and are given back the freedom to go out and get together again and party. And Trent Watchers have been saying this for a while now. After this pandemic, we will enter a modern day version of the Roaring 20s, the famous Art Deco period of the last century. A new exuberant period of freedom, partying, glamorous makeup and luxurious outfits. Remember the iconic party scene from the movie The Great Gatsby? Well, that's what the Roaring 20s is all about and it's no coincidence that this typical Roaring 20s glamorous Art Deco style is inspiring modern day fashion trends. So, are you ready to in fact roar and to unleash your inner party animal once again? Because the time has finally come. And also, we are all in desperate need for a touch of extravagance again in our lives. After spending more than a year in nothing but sweatpants and t-shirts, especially all those who were working from home, well, people now want to celebrate their regained freedom by adding a touch of extravagance and by making a deliberate effort once again on their looks, their hair, their nails, their makeup, outfits and accessories. And in this false runway fashion, we see a clear return to evening wear as a main trend, which is celebrated with the necessary glamour and glitter, of course. Your Valentino, Paco Rabanne, more recently Dolce & Gabbana, only last week in Venice, they all came out with glamorous evening gowns with feathers, pearls, gems, sequins. This season, next to the strong trend of natural beauty, it will also be your glamorous party outfits that will be calling the shots in your dressing room. So we need a collection of professional nail colors to match, because long-lasting immaculate salon nails will definitely be a total must-have this season. Only with perfect salon nails, you're ready to go out for a night out and say yes to that last-minute invitation. So expect to be fully booked this season in your salon, because hair, nails, skin, legs, all have to be salon-perfect again once more. And people are happy they finally can make an effort again in looking good and are willing to pay for it. So this new About Last Night collection reflects the spirit of these times perfectly. It's a glamorous color palette of six new Art Deco-inspired professional nail shades and rich with shimmering nail art items for that extravagant finishing touch. So let's dive into the colors one by one. First we have Majestic Magenta, a grand Fuchsia color. It's a hot pink with a sensual wink to the Art Deco atmosphere of the 20s. It's intense and striking on the nails, especially in combination with a dark outfit. In fact, it's the most powerful nail color of this collection and it really exudes richness and strong feminine glamour. Next we have Ride My Car Mine. Just like in Tamara de Lempica's iconic work of art that really captured the style of the Art Deco era, it's a free-spirited color that puts you in the driving seat or that puts the wearer of it in the driving seat. As a color, it's an imperial red, a carmine red, meaning it's deep red with a slightly purple-blueish undertone. For sure, not an ordinary red this one. Furthermore, we have Foxie Brown. This color will let the red hot spark in you ignite when the party fever hits you. It's a color that can also be beautifully glam-fied with red-golden glitter effects on top. For that, we are launching some fabulous new glitter topcoats in gel and suppolish that my colleague will present you later on. Now, as a nail color, Foxie Brown is a warm chestnut reddish brown, a real autumnal shade, but instead of pumpkin spice boring, this one is Foxie and fierce. Next, we have Stay on Taupe. Now, the gray color trend is reaching its peak this year and especially in autumn. So, stay on top of the trends with this beautiful warm and glamorous new taupe shade for nails. Stay on Taupe. The warm red undertone gives this taupe gray a real understated elegance feeling for nails. That makes it very contemporary and at the same time timeless and even seasonless. It's a warm, dark, neutral look for nails that makes your nails look classy and put together and perfect for any type of occasion. Next, Garden of Delights. A naturally green khaki color, really a trend color for fall. Now, do you see every party as an exciting garden full of secrets? Well, with this color, having fun will definitely be your second nature. It's a beautifully khaki green, which was definitely actually missing from the pronals color range and now we have it and especially for autumn, for winter, this color is in high demand. Last but not least, we have Hot Mesh. It's a dark, untracid gray and perfect for a rebel party look sexy and messy at the same time. It's a second gray color of the collection but quite dark and with a cold blueish undertone so more of an untracid. It's perfect for a night out and perfect also as a base for sparkly embellishments with a new silver shimmer top coat. Now, like I mentioned, we will relaunch the new collection boxes with all the new 12 collection colors in Chalak or Supolish. So this means the six about last night colors and the six bare essential colors that I presented before. This way you get a collection box of 12 seasonal colors for your customers to choose from. Six colors for a very natural everyday look and six colors for a more dressed up evening look. And with each box you get a free window sticker with time to celebrate on it and a tent card to promote the 12 colors and an amazing free limited edition product that my colleague will finally reveal right after my presentation. So stay tuned. Now, to bring the about last night glamorous or deco feeling in your salon you can choose from one of our new salon displays and display visuals. And we also have two striking new posters and two almost painting like banners to let the roaring 20s vibe come to life in your salon.

Now, before my colleague is going to show you some fabulous new nail art items and amazing design trends let's get this party started and dressed up for a night to remember. Hello everyone and welcome to the new nail art trends of this autumn and winter collection. Because time is important to all of us we are focused on fast easy but ever so elegant nail art options which will bring extra joy to your clients and extra income to you. We've worked together with two lovely and talented pronials nail stylist Agniska and Patricia who will show you which nail art is perfect for which new autumn color. To make it easy we have filmed all of these looks step by step and as an overview of everything you need the entire look. We have included all of these videos into our autumn and winter nail art e-learning on which more later. So today I'm already showing you a small part to give you an idea of what you can expect from our e-learning. Are you ready? Ok, let's see what I have for you. The flash diamonds effect kit with this flash diamonds effect kit you can create really sparkling diamonds in the dark. The sparkles will dance in the light as if mini diamonds were scattered all over your nails so much more than just the glitter gel. Your customers will have a hard time choosing between these three brilliant gels of the flash diamonds effect kits. The black diamond is a beautiful deep black glitter with the rosé effect perfect to make those black nails a little bit more feminine. The amber diamond is a beautiful copper glitter with gold and red glitters that perfectly matches our color foxy fury. The orchid diamond is a beautiful lavender colored glitter with a silver undertone that perfectly matches our new stay on top color. Here's a nice tip. These glitter effect gels can be combined with both gel and so polish as they are soakable and can be filed. You can apply them with two layers as a color or just apply one layer as a color for a special effect. With this matte top coat you can complete any nail art look quickly with literally one coat of nail art. No need for a gloss afterwards as it's already included with its black dots in different sizes. The winter feeling is just around the corner. This timeless nail look is really beautiful in combination with a new nude collection. Unlike many other top coats this one will never lose its matte effect or shines when you scratch something with your nails. A must have. Tip for after the winter with this matte top coat and the new nude colors you can also create a beautiful trend during Easter. With our silver shimmer top coats this silver glitter top coat is ideal for all those who want to make their manicure extra shiny. Beautiful in combination with the dark colors for a more festive effect. Finish with only one coat of the silver shimmer glitter and you're done. Just like that. No gloss needed after this glitter. That's one step less and how is that for time saving. This silver shimmer top coat is available in both a sapphire gloss and Sopolis shine versions and also replaces the well-known Sopolis shimmer gloss because it contains more glitter and shines even brighter. Even better so. The new pink shimmer top coats Again we have limited edition collection boxes for our fourth anniversary but this time we are giving you something exclusive for free because this rose shimmer gloss is only available in the collection boxes not available separately so where you're hesitating to buy a collection box then this limited rose shimmer gloss will convince you now. This top coat has a rose gold effect and is available in the quality of both our sapphire gloss and our Sopolis shine. As we mentioned to all colors and a wonderful warm glass they look to the nude colors in the winter. We have new stickers the painted poppies. These ultra fine nail stickers with poppies are quick and easy nail art they look like acrylic painted flowers and are so sophisticated and thin that they stick on the nail like a second skin. Combine them in bright autumn colors or beautiful with a nude collection. This creates a more glamorous winter look. Our wonderful nail stylist Agnizka Koraz from Poland and Patricia Lima from Portugal have prepared some seasonal looks based on the nude colors and these easy to use nail art products. They have again made beautiful creations for us and explained them step by step in a video. You will find the complete videos the explanation and the product list in our autumn and winter e-learning. Let's take a look at how they created these looks. The first one is the milky swirls. The swirls are really in since this summer and this trend will continue in the winter. Agnizka shows here also a soft swirl with baby pink colors. Our nude sweet chester with a limited sapphire rose shimmer and she finishes this swirl with a gel paint white canvas. Then we also have the dark swirls. Our nude colors are perfect for this trend. Combined with the darker shade that Patricia shows you here use the brush number 7 for their easy swirls. A new glitter ombre technique is born. Use our effect kits that contain super glitter and make an ombre with our master pale whites. It's quick and easy because the master pale whites is also a gloss. So you don't need a top coat anymore. You can then give them the look extra sensibility by making mandala drawings with a gel paint white canvas. This way you give your glitter ombre a nice 3D effect. Our white cream opening dance with rose shimmer gloss combined with the new matte dots on top coat creates a soft nude nail art with a winter touch. The different sizes of dots make it playful and sensual. The matte finish softens the colors into a velvet picture. Draw some extra leaves with the gel paint quite a bit black and the look is complete. You are so artico. You can't hide in the dark with our effect kits. Use abstract darlings with a stay on top and the hot mesh colors combined with the black diamond color from our flash diamonds effect kit and go into the dark. Very fascinating is that when you shine a flashlight in the dark on your nails, the sparkles appear like magic. Our nudes combined with the painted poppy stickers create a very feminine result. Just a little bit more to a classy nude color. Here we use the light pink shade holding hands and then the dark brown pink shade close contact for contrast. Add some sparkles with the gold chrome flakes and outline the dark close contact areas with our matte dots on top for a winter touch. Then line the areas with our black spider gel or black shell paint. Create a new marble look with the glitter effect kit. First apply a beautiful sand colored subtle move as a color but do not cure the second layer yet. Make your marble with the subtle move the foxy fury white and black and then add the sparkles of the amber diamond. It is very important to use brush number 13 and if you want to know the ultimate tip so that the colors flow nicely then you should definitely subscribe for our ear learning because I will explain it step by step. Back to the nature. We love leaves and the vein gives structure to our nails. First apply a natural layer with our capital move color and �ance Overall shape with the color of the light mister make this look minute.

This glitter stocko has a rose gold shine and makes the sea come alive again. Back and wide by Patricia, our new silver shimmer in both sapphire glass and the polish shine version is also very beautiful with the extreme matte top coat over it for a soft result. On the new color hot mesh, the gray tone comes out very strongly with the glitter. You can create both a bold and sensual look with our flash diamonds effect kit.

It's going to be a great season with the very latest trends, high quality classics and craftsmanship that you can perfect at any point in your career. In gel nails, they are trendier than ever, but you as a beauty expert and your clients have become much more discerning today. Gel nails today need to look as natural as possible, so the thickness, shape, length and color are extremely important. Thanks to the latest techniques and products, we perfectly succeed in fulfilling the desire of our customers, natural looking strong nails. This season, the master and the new new colors, of which there is an ideal match for every skin type, this become your successful recipe. And the innovative Proneels master gel continues to be the favorite of many this season. Thanks to the one drop technique and its ultra strong formula, you save 30 minutes on a gel treatment, you don't have to file anymore and you deliver the thinnest and strongest nails, so the master gel remains the most wanted gel this season. Have you not tried the master gel yet? Then I have good news, because this season you can test it completely for free. It is included in the large promotion package that I will present shortly. And you don't have to do the testing alone because you can attend a free three hour master workshop in one of our training centers, or you can follow the extensive e-learning that is also included in the large package for free. Gel nails are on the rise, but we notice in the market that there is also more and more talk of allergies and that has everything to do with the quality of your gel and your curing lamp. Allergies are caused by gels that are not properly cured, coming into contact with the skin. For that reason, it is important to choose quality gels and the most qualitative, compatible, curing lamp. And if I may give you a tip, stick to one qualitative brand. This is the only way to avoid such problems. At Pro Nails, all gels are extensively tested under the Pro Nails lamps, and you will find on every gel jar bar bottle the correct curing times under the Pro Nails lamps. Now, in addition to gel treatments, semi-permanent treatments also remain extremely popular. Customers who aren't ready yet for gels, customers who have their nails treated sporadically, or customers who want to be able to take it off themselves, are bound to come to your salon. So make sure you serve these different clients with the right technique. At Pro Nails, there is something for everyone, and you can help your client find on a custom basis. There is the Sopolis Structure Base, an innovative base for the most difficult nails. This semi-permanent base gel gives structure to these nails, strengthens them, and evens out all imperfections. This gel stays on the nails for up to three weeks, and you can even make extensions up to two millimeters. You can also safely file off this gel to remove it if you do not want to soak it off without damaging the natural nail. And then there is the Sopolis Easy Peel, the second one. The Sopolis Easy Peel is perfect for customers who want to be able to remove their Sopolis nails after two weeks without damaging the natural nails themselves. And then, of course, we have the classic Sopolis Easy Soak, which is suitable for both hands and feet. The Easy Soak can be removed in just five minutes, applies very easily with a very handy brush, and has a wear time up to two weeks. Now clients who opt for a semi-permanent treatment will have bare nails between treatments. So it's up to you to advise them to take good care of their nails, and in the best case, to strengthen their nails with a caring nail hardener. Also, customers who stop using gel nails or customers with natural nails who want to strengthen their nails will benefit from this product. And good news, because of this bestseller, you get four for free in the large promo pack. And that's not the only retail product you'll be getting from us, because if the pandemic has started anything, it is that you, as a beauty professional, can sell and earn more without having to do more treatments.
