Ideal for qualified nail technicians who want to build confidence in nail art, elevate their services, and increase their earning potential with salon-friendly designs.
Designed for nail technicians who already offer services such as gel polish or builder gel, but want to move beyond plain colours and basic French manicures.
This accredited course covers a range of salon-friendly nail art techniques and designs, including chrome, cat eye, foil, encapsulation, art gel, abstract designs, florals, hearts, and stars. These are the kinds of techniques that allow you to add value to your services in a way that is both creative and commercially viable.
Nail art is one of the easiest ways to elevate your services and increase what you charge, even through simple additions such as accent nails. This course is designed to help you do that confidently, professionally, and efficiently.
This Course Is Designed For You If…
You’re already qualified and want to add nail art to your service menu
You currently offer mostly plain colours or French manicures
You want to increase your prices through added design work
You love the idea of nail art but feel unsure where to start
You want clear, step-by-step guidance rather than piecing it together from social media
You want to learn techniques that are realistic for salon work and popular with clients
Why This Course Matters
There are plenty of nail art masterclasses available, but accredited nail art training is much harder to find.
This course was created to offer something more structured, more professional, and more useful in real salon work. It is taught by both a qualified nail educator and a qualified art teacher, which gives you the benefit of learning not just the techniques themselves, but how to approach design, placement, and artistic detail in a clear and teachable way.
Rather than spending time and money trialling products, searching through videos, or trying to work everything out by yourself, this course gives you tried and tested methods, practical product guidance, and efficient techniques that are designed to work in real appointments.
It’s about helping you create nail art that looks professional, lasts well, and fits into salon services in a way that makes sense for both you and your clients.
