I think essential nails is a great training provider and love how it gives people the opportunity to learn from home. However, the training cds are in desperate need of updating. In fact, it’s a lit... See more

Disappointing

The first reply was quick and plenty information given but when my order arrived i was quite disappointed and felt it was not worth the money.

Essential nails Fun learning

Not sure where you wanted me to write the review but her goes
My experience has been encouraging I feel motivated to complete the course only down side the the dvd is very old, and office opening hours are only on week days.
Any issues I had have been resolved quickly.
I’ve not had a lot of time to practice as I only have the weekends hope to get this completed by Christmas 😀 I’d recommend this course to anyone who like a new transferable skill.

Essential Nails courses and products

Essential Nails courses and products. You get value for money with the EN courses, it's great having unlimited telephone, email, Facebook support too. Having a few courses on the go keeps me going, when I'm able too. The products especially the Gelaze colours are amazing. I love how pigmented and sparkly some of the colours are. I wish I could have them all :-) My mum also loves how much better her nails have been since using the Gelaze polishes, she'll be thinking of what colour and design she wants next, having already had applied 'Happy Pink', 'Millennium', Stayin Alive', 'Red Riding Hood', currently showing off 'Blue Moon'. You do learn so much from theses courses, to get you going as a Nail Technician. I am already qualified in nail services levels 2 & 3. But I'm glad I found Essential Nails, they have helped me try and keep up to date, when I've not been able to attend a distant accredited course due to health issues. It's great that you can do in your own time, so you can watch the DVDs', practice and home your skills as a NT. I love everything about nails and you always learn something new or have light bulb moments when practising. You don't have to pay for your course/s all in one go, they have easypay which is great and it helps too. It's certainly helped me. Anyone wanting to be a budding nail tech, or wanting to pick your skills back up then give Essential Nails a try. You won't regret it! x

The course material arrived quickly all packed in lovely boxes I can’t wait to get started - hurry up nail station !!!!!

The best course around

Essential Nails has changed my life. I’ve been loving doing my nails for years and finally I took the plunge. I am so glad I did. I passed my manicure, pedicure and gel nail course last month. I completed all three in 7 weeks. The DVD’s explained everything I needed to know and all the ladies were so helpful when I needed support.
If you are trying to decide on a one day course or a distance learning course, please make the right decision and choice this one! One day is definitely not appropriate, you do not learn what you need to know. Essential nails is a detailed course and definitely brings the money in as you have learnt in such depth. I’ve just enrolled in my gel tip and overlay course and cannot wait to get stuck in. I’m already earning money, take the plunge today, you will not regret it!

I received all the spa manicure pedicure equipment, it was packaged well , I have been reading my book and watched the dvd , got the nail trainer out to have a go , but of course just had to watch the bits I couldn’t do , and still haven’t done anything on anybody just yet , hopefully soon . I take it I can use different friends to practice on . Yes I would recommend essential nails to anyone , it’s a good way of learning when people don’t have much time.

I absolutely enjoy doing the courses with essential nails. Best option for me to be able to do the course around my family life. I got distiction in my gel course, and felt yes i can do this. Now i am doing nail art, gel nails, and manicure and pedicure spa courses. Some are easier to get through than others. Yes there are days you want to give up and feel frustrated. But i always keep in my mind. My clients in the real world will want quality nails
Keep going to perfect it. I am now getting loads of happy customers since i completed my gel nails.
Best choice and investment i made.
