Nail Art Course

The Tuition

Your tutor for the Nail Art course is Jacqui Jefford; the UK’s top nail educator, author of the industry bible “The Encyclopedia of Nails”, joint creator of the nail NVQ’s, show judge and competitor. Jacqui presents the skills and techniques you need to become a nail art master technician.

She is joined by nail art champion Kirsty Meakin who teaches you some of the fabulous art techniques that have made her a winner worldwide, including the prestigious Las Vegas show!

The Nail Art DVD contains nearly 2 hours of expert instruction for the absolute beginner. The DVD is shot in close up from the student’s viewpoint as techniques are demonstrated on the Nail Trainer hand.

The Course assumes no knowledge on your part and takes you step by step through the process of creating Nail Art masterpieces. The Nail Art manual shadows the lessons on DVD and covers additional information on salon procedures, nail diseases, hygiene and working practices, as well as providing back up step by step instruction to the DVD.
