Russian Almond Nail Application: Sculpting with Acrylic | MasterClass with Dafne Fernandez

Building on the structural theory introduced in Episode 1, Dafne Fernandez demonstrates the precise application techniques required to sculpt Russian almond nail extensions with control and consistency. This episode focuses on the practical execution of long, dramatic shapes using acrylic systems while maintaining the integrity of the structure.Dafne guides viewers through bead placement, product control, and the strategic layering required to extend the nail plate seamlessly into a refined, tapered free edge. Special attention is given to the use of colored and glitter acrylic powders, showcasing how design elements can be incorporated without compromising balance or strength.This lesson emphasizes discipline in application—understanding where to build, where to refine, and how to maintain consistent thickness throughout the extension. The relationship between product placement and final structure is clearly demonstrated, reinforcing the importance of controlled movement and precision.As part of this progressive MasterClass series, this episode translates theory into execution. Nail technicians will gain insight into how competition-level shapes are built from the initial bead to the completed structure, preparing them for the detailed refinement process in the next stage.
