What began with just a passion and a nail kit has grown into Tips N Winks Nails — a place where beauty meets nail health, and every detail is cared for. After moving to Australia, I built my business from the ground up, bringing with me the advanced techniques and precision I learned through European training and experience.

What you’ll learn

Course FAQ

  • Absolutely! All online programs, digital downloads, and webinars are accessible from anywhere in the world.
    Please keep in mind that you are responsible for checking the regulations in your own country or state to confirm what qualifications are required to operate as a nail technician.
    In Australia, the nail industry is not formally regulated, so our private course is sufficient. However, countries such as the USA may require a formal licence.

  • Yes — you will be awarded a certificate once you have completed the following:
    • Watched every training video in full
    • Scored 100% on all quizzes
    • Completed all required practical tasks

  • You receive lifetime access to your training material.
    A certificate, however, is only issued after you have completed all videos, modules, and quizzes.
    If you are enrolled in the in-person course, you must also complete the required practical training before certification.
    You are free to revisit the content anytime—whether during your studies or once you begin taking clients.

  • Yes. As soon as you purchase the course, our system automatically enrols you using the email you provided at checkout.
    Be sure to check your inbox (and spam folder) for your login link.

  • No, kits are not provided. Every nail technician has their own preferred brands and tools, and no single kit suits everyone.
    However, we do include a full list of our recommended products and suppliers inside the course.

  • Not at all! This course is perfect for beginners
    You’ll learn everything from foundational skills to creating beautiful, high-quality sets

    If you need more guidance, simply reach out to us.
    We also offer 1:1 In-Person Upskill Training, tailored to your needs—whether you want to improve manicure techniques, learn nail art, or get support starting your business.

  • No. In Australia, becoming a nail technician does not require a nationally accredited qualification.
    Our Beginner Gel Nail Course is a private training program designed to give you the hands-on skills and knowledge needed to begin offering gel nail services
    Our trainer is a qualified Trainer & Assessor, so you can expect a high standard of professional education
    Upon successful completion, you will receive a Tips ’n’ Winks Certificate of Completion
