I’m a complete beginner when it comes to working with nails. This course has helped build my knowledge and understanding when carrying out nail treatments, such as gel polish and builder gel application. Lucie is really lovely and the feedback she provides really helps to build your confidence throughout the course, she’s really helpful and offers guidance and support from day one. The theory work that you complete and the accompanying videos provide essential knowledge that is needed, whilst being easy to follow. I’d highly recommend this course to anyone, especially for those looking to start a career in the nail industry.

I spent a lot of time researching which gel course to sign up to, I came across Lucie on Tik Tok and really resonated with her. It was really important to me to learn knowledge about allergy awareness and the theory behind the curing process, not just how to apply the gel and BIAB. The course is well thought out, detailed and easy to navigate on the online portal. It’s been really handy to be able to pop back on and rewatch the videos as and when I have needed. I also love the fact I could do it at my own pace and have that contact with Lucie if I needed it. I feel like she really does care about what she does and passing her knowledge on, you aren’t just “another student”. Highly recommend this course!

I had been debating for a few years whether or not to do a gel course, mainly to save myself money but also because I’ve always enjoyed doing my nails. I found Lucie on TikTok and started to follow her because I was really interested in the allergy side of things and finding a good brand to invest in which Lucie provides a lot of helpful information on. I decided to enrol in Lucie’s complete gel course because I had so many questions before purchasing the course and Lucie was so so helpful and answered everything which gave me the confidence to enrol! The course itself was really interesting and although I’ve had my nails done for the last 15 years there is so much I wasn’t aware of and didn’t know. The course was very easy to digest and is not overwhelming, everything is explained so that you can actually take the information in instead of just reading it and forgetting it. Throughout the course I was asking Lucie questions all the time and because she is so knowledgeable everything made sense after just double checking with her. Lucie is such a great teacher and I’ve completed the course confident in the skills I have learned. I also received really great feedback and can take that onboard moving forward into my nail journey! If anyone is considering this course I 100% recommend, you won’t regret it and you will learn so much! Thank you Lucie🙌🏻 xx

After completing the theory side of the course I feel a lot more confident and informed in aspects I lacked knowledge in previously, I can see improvements from my work before I started the course to where I am now. Lucie has answered all my questions throughly and doesn’t gate-keep a single thing.
