Nail Art and Gel Design Online Course Outline

Module 1: Introduction to Gel Art

Nail Enhancements

Any material used to lengthen and strengthen a person's natural nails is a nail augmentation. These nail enhancements are known to help people who have a propensity to bite their nails or have weak nails with frequent breakage and splits. They notice a faster rate of growth with these nail enhancements, depending on their nail type.

Gel Nails/Art

Gel nails are created using a three-step procedure. After that, a hard gel is put to the nail from the tip to the cuticle and dried under UV lamps. It has a strong acetone resistance. Then, to make gel designs, the same fundamental processes as for gel nails are performed.

Nail Preparation

To begin, examine the state of your client's nails in detail. Gel nails will not harm them if they are in good health. Gel extensions could also be used to extend the length of the client's nails. The molecular resistance of a soft gel, such as gel polish, is low. As a result, acetone may be used to remove it readily.

Contraindications

Particular nail, hand, or skin problems (allergies) can obstruct the application of gel art by nail professionals. Some nail/hand disorders hinder people from having gel art services, such as nail ringworm, cuts on the hands, skin/nail psoriasis (pits, yellow/brown discoloration), bruised nails, ridges in the nail plate, bitten nails, and so on. When exposed to UV light, these diseases may deteriorate even further.

Preparing Nails for Gel Design

It is vital to devote sufficient time to the following measures in order to avoid any undesirable outcomes.

      Use a nail file or a trimmer to shape your client's nails (oval, square, almond, etc.)

      Leave a cuticle softener (as required) to clean the edges. This will also remove any oil (if present).

      Use a cuticle pusher or wooden stick to push back your client's cuticle. Cuticle oil can be used to make the pushing more delicate.

Module 2: Anatomy

In Module 2, we will go through the human hand's anatomy to assist you in delivering the best possible service to your customers.

Hand

      Bones

      Joints

      Finger Joints

      Wrist Joints

      Elbow Joints

      Shoulder Joints

      Muscle Groups

Blood Supply

The blood veins in the hand transport blood to and from the hand. The ulnar and radial arteries help to deliver blood to the fingers, forearm, and palm.

Skin

      The epidermis

      The dermis

      Subcutaneous fat, also known as the hypodermis.

Nails

      Nail plate

      Nail bed

      Hyponychium

      Onychodermal band

      The matrix

Module 3: Gel Art Beginner Designs

Required Tools

      Top Coat and Base Coat

      Dotting toolset to make dots of various sizes and colors.

      Gel polish (any color)

      Wooden cuticle sticks to remove any unwanted residue.

      Nail art brush set to make unique designs.

Chevron Gel Art Design

This timeless chevron pattern is ideal for your client's professional attire. Let us have a look at how to make this gorgeous gel art creation.

Basic Spring Gel Art Design

This basic spring gel art design is easy to make and goes great with brunches and picnics. This is an excellent design for a client that desires a cottage or revitalizing look.

Gel Art Ink Sticker Design

If done right, this is a straightforward design. We do not define the sticker design because it is up to you or the client to pick the best one for them. No matter what kind of sticker you have, the procedure is the same. The sleek, trendy look of ink sticker gel art creations is well-known.

Module 4: Gel Art Advanced Designs

We will show you how to make advanced gel art creations correctly in this unit. We will go over the steps for a few advanced methods.

Tools Required for Advanced Designs

      Top Coat and Base Coat

      Dotting toolset

      Gel polish (any color)

      Wooden cuticle sticks to remove any unwanted residue.

      Nail art brush set to make unique designs.

Drop Like Confetti Gel Art Design

This gel art design would be ideal for your client's prom gowns, night gatherings, and other glitzy attire.

Disco Gel Art Design

Another gel art design that's perfect for night parties, dance parties, and other events. It might also be quite valuable during wedding receptions.

Silver Dip Powder Gel Art Design

This gel art creation is perfect for a client who appreciates glitz and glam. It will have a friendly and pleasant impact on the client's personality.

Module 5: Gel Art Maintenance

This section will go over what you should tell your clients about gel nail care and upkeep. In addition, we will go through aftercare items, what to avoid with gel nail art, and when to seek assistance.

Aftercare Recommendations

Keep in mind that even the best things require upkeep to stay that way. Gel art does not make nails indestructible. The gel art creations must be maintained for at least two weeks, therefore follow the aftercare instructions carefully.

Products

These simple solutions can help your clients keep their gel nails looking great for up to two weeks. To achieve the best outcomes, you must concentrate on high-quality products. Low-quality goods never yield positive results.

      Top Coat

      Cuticle Oil

      Lotions and Creams

      Overnight Nail Mask

Things to Avoid with Gel Nail Art

Gel nail art, as previously said, does not make one's nails alluring. Certain items should be avoided if you want to keep your nails looking perfect. It is the small things that count.

      Swimming and Tanning Beds

      Harmful Chemicals

      Tools

      Filing

Returning for Help

In the following situations, the clients must contact you for assistance.

      Chipping and Uplifting

      After Two Weeks

Golden Recommendation

It may not seem like much, but this advice will come in handy in the long run: eat a nutritious diet. Encourage your clients to drink plenty of water. Zinc and iron are both recognized to be advantageous to nail health and growth. Advise them to eat a diet that is high in these nutrients.

Module 6: Health, Safety and Hygiene

Sanitization and Cleaning Protocols

Physical dangers are avoided by following proper sanitization and cleaning procedures (hazards from blood and bodily fluids which could cause infection). Cleaning is another term for sanitizing, which entails eliminating all visible filth and debris. Disinfecting an item that has already been cleansed involves eradicating potentially hazardous microorganisms.

OSHA

Occupational Safety and Health Administration is an acronym for Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It is critical to comprehend OSHA regulations and how they apply to you as a nail technician.

      Fire Protection

      Chemical Hazards and Control Methods

      Ergonomic Hazards and Control Methods

Module 7: Client Consultation and Business Expansion

Customer Consultation

When a client decides whether or not to return to your salon, providing exceptional customer service makes all the difference. To improve the customer experience, create a lovely setting — their visit should be soothing. Body language is the next important part of customer service. It should go without saying that you should greet customers with a smile and a warm, open, and welcoming demeanor.

Where to Conduct Your Business

If you are opening your nail salon, you will encounter various challenges, one of which is deciding where to locate your business. If you are starting from the ground up, you might not afford to acquire or rent a facility. Instead, you might find yourself working as a mobile nail technician or even from the comfort of your own home.

      Home business

      Mobile nail technician

      Renting a salon room

      Setting up your salon

Business Licenses

You should pay particular attention to state and local licensing regulations while beginning your salon. To apply for a business license, you will typically need to register a permanent business address. If you choose to run a business from your home, the requirements may be different. Make sure to check your area's zoning restrictions.

Marketing

Facebook and Instagram are two of the most effective venues for promoting and growing small businesses.

Finding the Right Business Location

Finding the correct location is a vital first step if you are thinking about starting your own business. To determine which location is ideal for you and your clients, you should conduct thorough research.

      Ensure your salon is easy to find

      Understand the local area

      Research your competition

      Stay close to other relevant businesses

      Consider the cost

      What sort of size?

Business Licenses and Insurance and Liability Requirements

You should pay particular attention to state and local licensing regulations while beginning your salon. To apply for a business license, you will generally need to register a permanent business address. If you choose to run a business from your home, the requirements may be different. Make sure to check your area's zoning restrictions.

If done right, this is a straightforward design. We do not define the sticker design because it is up to you or the client to pick the best one for them. No matter what kind of sticker you have, the procedure is the same. The sleek, trendy look of ink sticker gel art creations is well-known.

Module 4: Gel Art Advanced Designs

We will show you how to make advanced gel art creations correctly in this unit. We will go over the steps for a few advanced methods.

Tools Required for Advanced Designs

      Wooden cuticle sticks to remove any unwanted residue.

Module 5: Gel Art Maintenance

This section will go over what you should tell your clients about gel nail care and upkeep. In addition, we will go through aftercare items, what to avoid with gel nail art, and when to seek assistance.

Aftercare Recommendations

Keep in mind that even the best things require upkeep to stay that way. Gel art does not make nails indestructible. The gel art creations must be maintained for at least two weeks, therefore follow the aftercare instructions carefully.

Products

These simple solutions can help your clients keep their gel nails looking great for up to two weeks. To achieve the best outcomes, you must concentrate on high-quality products. Low-quality goods never yield positive results.

      Top Coat

      Cuticle Oil

      Lotions and Creams

      Overnight Nail Mask

Things to Avoid with Gel Nail Art

Gel nail art, as previously said, does not make one's nails alluring. Certain items should be avoided if you want to keep your nails looking perfect. It is the small things that count.

      Swimming and Tanning Beds

      Harmful Chemicals

      Tools

      Filing

Returning for Help

In the following situations, the clients must contact you for assistance.

      Chipping and Uplifting

      After Two Weeks

Golden Recommendation

It may not seem like much, but this advice will come in handy in the long run: eat a nutritious diet. Encourage your clients to drink plenty of water. Zinc and iron are both recognized to be advantageous to nail health and growth. Advise them to eat a diet that is high in these nutrients.

Module 6: Health, Safety and Hygiene

Sanitization and Cleaning Protocols

Physical dangers are avoided by following proper sanitization and cleaning procedures (hazards from blood and bodily fluids which could cause infection). Cleaning is another term for sanitizing, which entails eliminating all visible filth and debris. Disinfecting an item that has already been cleansed involves eradicating potentially hazardous microorganisms.

OSHA

Occupational Safety and Health Administration is an acronym for Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It is critical to comprehend OSHA regulations and how they apply to you as a nail technician.

      Fire Protection

      Chemical Hazards and Control Methods

      Ergonomic Hazards and Control Methods

Module 7: Client Consultation and Business Expansion

Customer Consultation

When a client decides whether or not to return to your salon, providing exceptional customer service makes all the difference. To improve the customer experience, create a lovely setting — their visit should be soothing. Body language is the next important part of customer service. It should go without saying that you should greet customers with a smile and a warm, open, and welcoming demeanor.

Where to Conduct Your Business

If you are opening your nail salon, you will encounter various challenges, one of which is deciding where to locate your business. If you are starting from the ground up, you might not afford to acquire or rent a facility. Instead, you might find yourself working as a mobile nail technician or even from the comfort of your own home.

      Home business

      Mobile nail technician

      Renting a salon room

      Setting up your salon

Business Licenses

You should pay particular attention to state and local licensing regulations while beginning your salon. To apply for a business license, you will typically need to register a permanent business address. If you choose to run a business from your home, the requirements may be different. Make sure to check your area's zoning restrictions.

Marketing

Facebook and Instagram are two of the most effective venues for promoting and growing small businesses.

Finding the Right Business Location

Finding the correct location is a vital first step if you are thinking about starting your own business. To determine which location is ideal for you and your clients, you should conduct thorough research.

      Ensure your salon is easy to find

      Understand the local area

      Research your competition

      Stay close to other relevant businesses

      Consider the cost

      What sort of size?

Business Licenses and Insurance and Liability Requirements

You should pay particular attention to state and local licensing regulations while beginning your salon. To apply for a business license, you will generally need to register a permanent business address. If you choose to run a business from your home, the requirements may be different. Make sure to check your area's zoning restrictions.
