I'm the founder of Lordna Nails, a nail and brow studio in Brisbane, and I specialise in the deep Russian manicure and hard gel technique. Over two-plus years of teaching students one-on-one, I've refined a way of building nails that holds its shape and shine for four weeks or longer — without lifting, and without early filing.
This page is where I teach the same method I use on my own clients every day, so you can bring it straight into your own kit — whether you're just starting out or already working in a salon.
Every set that lasts four weeks or longer is built the same way, in this order. Skip a step, and the other three don't matter.
Cuticle work, dehydrating and priming the nail plate properly — the step most lifting problems actually trace back to.
Building the correct apex and architecture in builder gel or hard gel, so the nail carries its own strength instead of relying on thickness.
Sealing the free edge and curing correctly at every stage — the difference between a set that chips at day ten and one that doesn't.
What I teach every client to do (and not do) at home, so the four-week result isn't just possible in the chair — it's repeatable.
Technique and business, covered together — everything in the program from start to finish.
Four weeks isn't hype — it's what
happens when every step is done right.
Private training means the whole session is built around you — your hands, your pace, questions answered on the spot. No group, no waiting your turn, no watching from the back.
Every tier is private, one-on-one training with me — pick the depth that fits where you're at.
