Skills You’ll Gain in This Course

  • A solid grasp of the theory behind the combi manicure technique, including key concepts like nail anatomy, skin and cuticle types, and how to identify and correct common mistakes.

  • A clear understanding of the essential tools you'll need, how to use them properly, and how to tailor their use to different skin types. My approach is to keep things simple—focusing on the right tools and techniques—so you can master the process without getting overwhelmed by unnecessary tools or e-file bits. The goal is to maximise your technique and avoid time wasting.

These practical sessions are designed to equip you with the skills to handle any challenge that comes your way, from basic to advanced scenarios, ensuring you're fully prepared to work on "real-life" clients.

Julie-Anne you have created something phenomenal! The break down in the videos make it so so easy to understand what is being done and how to tackle each skin type! If you are thinking of training in Russian manicure I would highly recommend doing so using this course, it has completely upped my prep within days…you get lots of information on which skin types to use which method which is something I’ve not seen on any other course, as a nail tech we know not all nails come to us in great condition but with this course they will leave looking their best!! Cannot recommend enough and I wish I could give more than 5 stars🩷

This course explains how to manicure different skin and cuticle types. Despite having done many courses, I have not been explained any of this so clearly before. I definitely feel more empowered to identify my clients skin types, and how to tailor the manicure to them, in order to avoid damaging their nails. Many courses teach manicures on hand models with 'normal skin' and very little cuticle, that is not reflective of real clients. This is why this course is so helpful as the hand models reflect the variety of my clients hands.

I absolutely loved this nail course! The instructor was amazing — she explained everything in such a simple and easy-to-follow way, even though some of the content was pretty advanced. What I appreciated most was how she broke things down step by step and listed everything so clearly. It made complex techniques feel manageable and actually enjoyable to learn. This course isn’t for complete beginners, but if you already have your basics down and a general idea of how things work, it’s a total game-changer. It really helped improve my work and gave me more confidence in my skills. I love how she didn’t overcomplicate things or use unnecessary jargon — just real, practical knowledge that actually helps. Highly recommend!
