Gel Polish & E File (1 Day)

Full Nail Preparation: The Foundation of Every Great Set

Before applying any product, we’ll teach you the TWENTY-approved prep method using both hand tools and the E-file (bonus qualification included!).
You’ll learn how to:

• Perform safe and effective cuticle work
• Refine the nail plate for smooth application
• Handle common prep concerns like peeling, flaking, or ridges
• Prep for sensitive clients with minimal dust or friction
• Choose and use the right E-file bits at each stage
  

This prep routine ensures your gel sets last longer, look smoother, and grow out cleanly.

Gel Colour Application: How to Get Maximum Wear

Once prep is mastered, we dive deep into precise gel application. You’ll learn how to:

• Apply base coat properly for secure adhesion
• Layer colour evenly for clarity and consistency
• Cure correctly to avoid bubbling or wrinkling
• Remove gel safely without damaging the natural nail
• Troubleshoot common issues like chipping, lifting, and dull top coats
  

You’ll leave this course knowing exactly how to deliver a long-lasting, high-gloss finish your clients will love—and keep coming back for.

Bonus: Accredited E-File Qualification Included

In today’s nail industry, E-filing is a must. That’s why we include a full accredited E-file qualification at no extra cost.
Whether you’re brand new or just looking to sharpen your skills, you’ll receive:

• Hands-on training in safe, effective use of the E-file
• Guidance on choosing the correct bits

To make the most of your in-person training, all TWENTY Academy courses include a mandatory online pre-study module. This has been designed for you to complete at home, in your own time, before attending your practical training day.

Why Pre-Study Matters

The pre-study ensures that when you arrive at the Academy, you’re ready to go straight into hands-on, practical training. It covers all the essential theory you need—so that your in-person day can focus entirely on developing your skills at the desk.

Who Needs to Complete It?

Every student. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a qualified nail tech, the pre-study module is a requirement for all courses.

• Beginners: This will be your first introduction to nail anatomy, product knowledge, safety and hygiene.
  
• Qualified techs: Think of it as a refresher and a test of your knowledge—it's always good to revisit the basics, especially when learning new systems or techniques.
  

When Is It Due?

All pre-study must be fully completed no later than 7 days before the start of your in-person training.

This gives your educator time to review your progress and ensures you arrive confident and prepared.

What Makes This Course Different?

We believe that confidence and competence come from real experience. That’s why your learning journey doesn’t end in the classroom.

To complete the course, you’ll be required to submit two case studies—real-life client sets that demonstrate your understanding, technique, and professionalism.

Your educator will review your work in detail, offering personalised feedback to fine-tune your application process and ensure your results are safe, consistent, and salon-ready.

Why Case Studies?

Because confidence comes from doing—not just watching.

Working on real clients (friends or family) without an educator over your shoulder is your opportunity to prove to yourself that you’re ready. And with your educator's guidance, you’ll have the expert support to perfect your skills before you ever open your appointment book.

Once your case studies are approved, you’ll receive your fully accredited certificate, qualifying you as a professional nail technician.

Why In-Person Training Matters

While online courses offer flexibility and convenience, nothing compares to the quality, depth, and hands-on confidence you gain from in-person training—especially when you're learning a technical, practical skill like nail application.

Here’s why our in-person training makes all the difference:

1. Learn By Doing — Not Just Watching

Watching videos can teach theory, but real confidence comes from physically practising the techniques under expert guidance. You’ll be working with real products, on real hands, in real time—so you can refine your skills through action, not guesswork.

2. Instant, Personalised Feedback

With in-person training, your educator is right there to correct, adjust, and guide you every step of the way. This level of live, tailored feedback is something you simply can’t get from pre-recorded content.

3. Spot & Correct Bad Habits Early

Without supervision, it’s easy to develop incorrect techniques that can lead to lifting, client complaints, or even damage to the natural nail. In-person training allows us to spot those mistakes early—and fix them on the spot—before they become bad habits.

4. Build Confidence in a Real-World Setting

Our classroom environment is designed to mimic salon scenarios, giving you the chance to practise services in realistic conditions. You’ll gain experience managing timing, product control, and client communication in a way that prepares you for real paying clients.

5. Human Support = More Motivation

Learning can feel lonely online. In-person, you're surrounded by fellow students, a supportive educator, and a buzz of encouragement. You can ask questions, get reassurance, and stay motivated from start to finish.

6. You're Not Just Learning—You're Being Assessed

We hold our students to professional industry standards. That means you’re not just ‘ticking boxes’—you’re being coached, assessed, and supported until your skills meet the standard required to succeed in real life.

The TWENTY Standard

At TWENTY, we believe that nail training should be more than just passable—it should be exceptional. That’s why our in-person courses are immersive, detailed, and backed by industry-leading educators who care about your success.

Because when you’re working with real clients, real products, and real responsibility…

You deserve real training.

Yes! This course is fully accredited by ABT. Meaning that you will be a fully qualified nail technician once completed.
