Nail Art and Design

Nail Art and Design

Gel nail art and design is the latest trend in the world of nail art and nail enhancements. In principle gel art and design is an achievable procedure. Any design once placed onto an uncured gel colour coating will be able to be dragged using a gel art striper brush into the most intricate of patterns.

Gel polishes and designs will give a bright and lustrous finish to any nail surface. Your client will be able to leave immediately after the service and with gel polishes, there is more waiting for polish to dry! Altogether this makes gel art and design an essential skill for any practicing or aspiring Nail Technician.

This Professional Gel Art and Design programme is an in-depth step by step course that is designed to teach the student how to carry out gel art and design procedures. Throughout the course detailed examples and diagrams are provided showing the student how to create a range of beautiful gel designs.

So whether you’re a professional Nail Technician or a novice, you can be sure that our Professional Gel Art and Design course will be the perfect course to teach you how to perform professional gel nail art and design.

Please note, this is a knowledge-based course, so it will not qualify you as a Nail Technician. It is intended as the ideal introduction to this area of nail care, so you can make an educated decision as to whether this career path is the right one for you.

To work as a Nail Technician, you will need to complete a qualification that includes practical training to hone your skills and have your assessments signed off by an expert in this field. This enables you to secure the insurance you need to work professionally.
