You can practice many different techniques with Nailster’s practice hand and improve your nail art skills. The practice hand is especially useful if you’re new to gel products, since they must not come into contact with the skin around the nail. With the practice hand, you can practice precise application before working on your own nails.

To use the practice hand, attach it to the table you’re working at. This ensures the hand stays stable so you have both hands free to practice with. Then simply place a tip on the fingertip of the practice hand. This way, you can experiment with everything from solid colors to advanced nail art without worrying about mess or skin contact.

The practice hand is suitable for both beginners and advanced users. It’s ideal if you want to test out different designs without using your own nails, or if you want to save a design you’ve created. It’s also perfect for refining your technique and becoming even better at creating beautiful nail designs.

The joints of the practice hand are designed to mimic the movement of real fingers, giving you a realistic training experience.

The hand is equipped with a desk clamp at the base, which functions like a screw clamp. You place it over the edge of the table and tighten the screw at the top, and the practice hand will sit securely. It’s easy to attach and remove again without damaging the table – just like a regular clamp, but made for tabletop use.

A tip can be removed by pulling it off, and a new one can be attached by pressing it into the small hole in the finger.

With Nailster’s practice hand, you can practice many techniques, including applying Rubber Base, Gel Polish, Builder Gel, and Polygel. You can also practice extensions with Dual Forms and try out Press-On Tips attached with UV Gel Glue. Here it’s important to hold the tip correctly on the nail so the glue spreads evenly.

In addition, you can use the practice hand to practice all kinds of nail art. In our demonstration video, for example, you can see how Blooming Gel is applied in practice.
