About Your Educator
Hi, I’m Emma Percival, a Dublin-based salon owner, nail technician, and educator. With over 14 years in the nail industry, I have developed this course, Mastering the Art of Gel Polish, to help beginners like you break into the industry with confidence and skill. My journey started in a small shed in my parents’ garden, where I built up a loyal clientele. By 2018, I had expanded into my own studio, No.29, where I lead a team of talented nail techs. Training and mentoring my team inspired me to launch No.29 Academy in 2025—a place where aspiring nail technicians can gain high-quality education and start successful careers. With an ITEC Level 4 Award in Teaching and Education, I’m passionate about helping students develop their skills and thrive in the beauty industry. 

I can’t wait to support you on your journey!
Read what some of my students are saying...

“Emma has been a dream mentor in my journey to becoming a Nail Technician. Despite completing a year-long nail course before studying under Emma, I gained more practical knowledge from her in just one week than I did throughout the entire year of formal training.”


Laura

“I am truly grateful for the skills and confidence Emma has given me and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her training, and I have no doubt that anyone training under her will be in the best hands.”


Daniella

‘Emma is not only a talented educator but also incredibly kind and provides such a high level of training that has and will continue to serve me along my journey as a Nail Tech. I can’t thank her enough. I would highly encourage anyone who is thinking of training in nails to train with Emma and the No 29 Academy, you won’t regret it’
