Dual Forms Modern Almond Case – 120 pcs

Modern Almond dual forms – what are upper forms?

Dual forms, also called upper forms, are placed on the nail from above: you put the product inside them and then press the whole form onto the prepared nail plate. The Modern series is for nail stylists who like bold, carefully refined shapes. Modern Almond has straight side lines and a very deep C-curve, and you can vary the extension length – from a short, everyday almond to an exceptionally long, avant-garde nail. Because you build every nail in the same form, they all look exactly alike, which makes it easier to keep control over the shape of the whole nail set.

• Type: reusable upper forms (dual form).
• Shape: modern almond, straight side lines.
• C-curve: very deep – makes it easier to build an avant-garde length.
• Sizes: 10 in one case, 120 pcs in total.
• Building product: gel or acrygel.

The forms are reusable, so one case will let you extend nails for many nail sets – you just need to keep them clean after each client. Ten sizes in one pack mean you don't need separate sets for narrow and wide nail plates, and you have the whole process under control, from choosing the size to planning the length.

How to work with the Modern Almond form – step by step

Match the form size to the width of the natural nail plate – every client's natural finger shape is different, so with 10 sizes it's easy to find the one that fits well and gives you full control over the result. The evenly spaced lines let you determine the length of the extended nail precisely, so every finger gets the same length.

• Prepare the nail plate according to your technique and degrease it, e.g. with Nail Fresh dehydrator.
• Fill the form with the right amount of gel, e.g. Tixy Cover Pink 30 ml gel, or with acrygel.
• Press the form onto the prepared nail plate, checking the length and symmetry from the side and from the front.
• Cure in the lamp as stated on the product card, then gently remove the form.
• Refine the surface with a nail file – you'll reach for the e-file less often, because the form gives the nail its shape already at the building stage.

It's easier to remove any excess product that flows past the edge of the form before curing than after it. The forms are reusable, so after working, clean them and disinfect them with a liquid suitable for plastics, following the hygiene rules in force in your salon – that way the case will last you many appointments and help you extend nails for further clients without losing precision.

Who is it for and which shape to choose?

Modern Almond is an ideal choice for a nail stylist who does avant-garde nail sets or wants to build a slim, symmetrical almond nail again and again, and who values a precise, quick result and an individual approach to each client's preferences in extension manicures. If a client prefers an angular line, reach for the twin case, Modern Square Dual Form, in a square shape. If you are only just learning extensions on dual forms and are looking for an alternative to classic nail forms, take a look at the flexible forms from the First Step Almond series for building the structure.

Dual, Modern, First Step – which nail forms and methods to choose?

The right form depends on your working method and the shape of nail set you're after. Upper forms differ in the size of the channel, how the product is distributed, and whether the material is rigid or flexible – Modern forms have a deep C-curve and straight lines, and work well for a range of shapes from short to very long. The first time you use them, it's worth choosing the size dry, before you apply the product, and when building the structure, follow the same order of movements on every finger – it shortens application time and helps you keep the same length. Whatever you are working with, spread the product evenly across the whole form before you press it on. 120 pieces in a case is a supply that will last many appointments, and you can adapt the chosen method and size to each client's preferences. Working with dual forms also saves time and speeds up your work compared with classic nail forms that need trimming, and the look and durability of the nail set depend above all on fitting the form precisely to the natural nail plate. The e-file and other helper tools are only needed for small corrections to the shape, so you get to colour or nail art sooner.
