The Natural Nail Tech

The ultimate starting point for your natural nail career

Our Natural Nail Tech Course is designed for anyone ready to begin their journey in the nail industry. This fully accredited and insurable two-day training combines Gel Polish and Structured Soft Builder Gel on natural nails — two of the most in-demand salon services. By the end of this course, you will have the confidence, skills, and certification to launch your career as a Natural Nail Technician.

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 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!

Choosing the right training is the foundation of your nail career and our Natural Nail Tech Course is designed to set you up for long-term success. I know what it feels like to invest in a course and come away feeling like you haven’t learned enough to truly feel confident. Having completed countless trainings myself, I have designed this course differently. In just two days, I will give you not only the technical skills, but also the knowledge, confidence, and support you need to actually begin your journey as a Nail Technician. My goal is for every student to leave feeling capable, inspired, and ready to start their career.

Is it worth the investment?
Absolutely. Training with me gives you the chance to build an incredible career doing what you love. While it might feel like a big investment at first, the truth is - this course is so much more than learning nails. It’s about unlocking freedom, building confidence, and creating new opportunities for yourself.

It's not just worth it - it's one of the best investments you can make in yourself.
