Dear Nail Techs,
I’m currently saving up for some training, but I’m not sure which training to go with! If anyone could take a look at two training courses I’ve been looking at and help me through choosing I’d be so appreciative.
I’m a complete beginner, and I’d love to be able to take care of natural nails, polish with gel, and sculpt nail extensions. I’m not sure whether I’d prefer to do gel or acrylic extensions yet.
Course one:
“CND™ Liquid and Powder Beginners
This is a 6 day course with an on-line home study (the 6 days are non-consecutive - spread over 6 weeks).
£625.00 + VAT / €750.00
The CND™ Liquid & Powder course develops your skills using our unique Retention+™ technology to create strong, durable enhancements with superior clarity and brightness and scratch resistant, ultra smooth finish. The pre-class home study is added to enhance your learning and increase your hands-on time in class.
A detailed description of what is covered on each day:
Home Study - You will receive a textbook once your booking is confirmed. You will be required to study the book and complete the online pre-assessment prior to attending day 1. The pass rate is 70%. You can take the pre-assessment as many times as you need.
Day 1 - Health and Safety, Contraindications, Natural Nail Anatomy, Preparation of the Natural Nail, Introduction to the Nail Shapes, Table Set Up.
Day 2 - Liquid and Powder science and product overview, Mix Ratio, Zone Sculpting, Finishing Technique, CND™ 5 Point Polish Method.

Each day is 10 am to 4.30 pm with a 45 min lunch break.
Day 1-3 - Please attend the course with both hands free from any product, you will be required to work on yourself or with a partner.
Day 4-6 - A model is required from 10.30 am until 4.30 pm. The same model each day is preferable, but not essential.
Please note that bookings must be made at least 14 days before the start of the class to allow for sufficient home study.”
Course two:
“Course cost £669.69
Kit cost £422.16
Total: £1091.76
Full GelBottle course covers the basics any beginner will need to start using our amazing products. Day 1 we will cover all the theory, prepping the nail, application, technique, and removal of gel polish and learning the best way to use BIAB and days 2 and 3 we cover gel extensions using GelPot on tips and sculpting forms. No entry requirement is needed.
We don't cover any basic manicure or pedicures with regular polish so if you want to do that before it could work but it's not compulsory and you can do ours as there isn't an entry requirement.”
Any advice for a complete beginner would be really appreciated! Thank you!
