Gel Polish Diploma Course only £95 – 1/2 Day Practical

Gel Polish is the new treatment taking the world by storm.  Cured under LED light, they are completely dry as soon as the treatment is finished – no smudging or knocking.  This polish then lasts for at least two weeks without wearing, chipping or flaking.  It goes on like a polish but lasts as well as a gel and is very quick and easy to remove. It is perfect for fingers and toes, takes around 30 minutes to complete and many salons are charging upwards of £35.  It is exceptionally easy to learn.  Nail art can then be added to create a bespoke service.

This training is non brand specific and will enable you to use products such as Gelish and Shellac or any professional gel polish brand.  No previous experience required.  Fully insurable accredited Diploma on completion, accredited by ABT.
