This combined Gel Polish and Builder in a Bottle Course is suitable for anyone looking to begin a career in the nail and beauty industry. It covers client consultation, nail preparation, professional application, French manicure techniques, BIAB nail extensions, safe removal and homecare and aftercare advice.

The Gel Polish and Builder in a Bottle Course is a practical and cost-effective option for beginners because it allows you to offer popular nail treatments with a relatively low initial product investment.

No previous experience is required. After successfully completing the course, you will receive recognised qualifications that can help you work professionally, start your own nail business or provide mobile nail services.
