The Painted Nail Academy

Teaching and raising industry standards within the nail industry is something I’m incredibly passionate about. 💅🏻

After 24 years as a nail technician and 4 years as an educator, I’m proud to be the Dorset Educator for Glitterbels — winners of Best Education Team 3 years running. ✨

Every Monday I run accredited nail courses covering everything from Gel Polish, Builder Gel, Hard Gel & Acrylic through to E-File, Nail Art, Sculpting and Refresher Courses.

My training is hands-on, supportive, and designed to build confidence, skill, and professionalism — ensuring students leave fully qualified, insured, and ready to work safely within the industry.

Alongside nails, I also share real business advice from years of salon ownership, mobile work, and building a loyal clientele.

One of my favourite parts of this job is empowering other women to build flexible, successful careers doing something they love. 🤍

Our 2-Day Acrylic Course is one of the most in-demand trainings we offer — and for good reason. Acrylic truly opens the door to endless possibilities when it comes to nails, from strength and structure to stunning, long-lasting designs.

Yes, it’s known as the most challenging overlay to master… but that’s exactly why learning it properly, with the right support, makes all the difference.
