Learn two salon essentials in one complete, practical day

​

Our Manicure & Gel Polish Application Course combines the two most requested nail services into one full training day — giving you the foundational skills every nail tech needs before anything else. From perfecting the classic manicure to achieving a flawless, long-lasting gel polish finish, you'll leave confident, competent, and ready for real clients.

 

Gel polish is a long-lasting, chip-resistant alternative to regular nail polish that's cured under an LED lamp — giving clients a high-shine, professional finish that lasts up to three weeks without lifting or chipping.

​

This is a full practical day with live demonstrations.
