how to chose a nail courses
We have seven Nail Courses, three beginners courses:
Plus four more advanced courses:
Once you have taken one of these courses you will be able to create a set of beautiful nails in 60 to 90 minutes and charge £30 to £40 for the service. You can then go on to learn more about different aspects of creating nails; We have courses for Acrylic Sculpting, Airbrushing, Nail Art and Maintenance. All of the courses assume that you know absolutely nothing about nails, so you can be assured that everything you need to know will be taught in the courses. Which course to choose? Read the information below, before making a decision:

This is the ideal beginner's course. Expect to take about 60 hours to complete the course. Gels are the latest innovation in the world of professional nail enhancements. Gel comes in a small jar and is about the consistancy of honey. It's applied to the nail and extension tip with a small brush, and is 'self levelling'. It's therefore easier to apply than Acrylics, making it the ideal system for beginners. Gel nails are cured under an ultra violet (UV) light and are odour free, hardwearing and beautiful to look at. Whether you’re a beginner or an accomplished nail tech, to offer a modern service, you need to learn Gel nails.

Also known as 'liquid and powder', this is the classic nail extension system and is in highest demand by customers. Expect to take about 80 hours to complete the course. You mix small balls of acrylic and powder on a brush and apply to the nail and extension tip, pushing it into shape with the brush, and then filing and polishing to a high gloss finish. It's slightly harder to learn than Gel, so you might need to put aside 6 hours a week. Some people dislike the strong smell, but some people love it! After completing the course you will be able to
create a professional looking set of Acrylic nails to delight your friends or clients.

This is the system that is kindest to the natural nail, using far less aggressive chemicals than Gel or Acrylic. After extending the natural nail with tip, small pieces of fibreglass are applied to the nail and covered with resin. The resin sets hard in a few minutes and soaks into the fibreglass weave making it invisible. It has no odour, and although it is less popular than Gel or Acrylic, many nail Technicians love the natural look and easy maintenance of Fibreglass Nails.

Airbrushing nails is a fascinating art, you create unique and intricate designs on your friends or
clients nails by spraying coloured paints onto the nails with a small airbrush. Patterns and shapes are created by blending colours or spraying though stencils.

Expect to take 40 hours to pass this course. Technicians skilled in this exciting art can charge an additional £5 to £30 for their work.

Sculpting is the pinnacle of the Nail Technicians art, as a tip is not used, the entire nail is created entirely from Acrylic powder and liquid. If you can master this skill you WILL be in deman.
