Oval Nail Shape Mastery

One real client, filmed start to finish with timers. Removal in 3 min, flame bit work in Forward and Reverse, the 20-second oval shape check. Foundation for everything else.

Square Nail Shape Mastery

Two clients, two situations. Gel correction and soft square on thin brittle nails. Filing after top coat for the crisp professional edge clients notice immediately.

Problem Nails Masterclass

Four real cases: hooked nails, deep cracks, oval-to-square transformation, inherited extensions. Polygel reconstruction, sidewalls built in the air — the appointments other techs quietly refuse.

Professional Pedicure Masterclass

Three real clients including problem feet with double cuticle and sensitive skin. One-phase white gel technique, hygienic service to coating — timed benchmark at 50 minutes.

Nail Stamping Secrets

6 techniques from basic to chrome: firm and clear stamper, cuticle placement, gradient blending, reverse stamping, foil combos. Profitable nail art that doesn't slow down your appointments.

When a manicure goes wrong —
do you know exactly why?

Download the free Nail Result Diagnosis Map.

Name the symptom, follow the cause, apply the First Fix — in under 3 minutes. No guesswork, no changing five things at once. One printable reference for the problems that show up most often.

Lifting by zone — cuticle area, sidewalls, free edge — each with a separate decision tree
Breakage, hooked nails, bulky profile — architecture fixes before product changes
Shape logic: square vs oval, oval→square transition, restoration vs strengthening
Stamping fails, pedicure issues, mature hands — all in one reference

This Diagnosis map is a practical troubleshooting tool for nail techs. It helps you identify the most likely cause of common failures and apply a First Fix (the smallest change with the biggest impact).

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our courses

Is Russian manicure safe — and is it legal in my state or country? +

Yes — when performed correctly. The technique taught at VEL Academy works exclusively with dead tissue (pterygium and dry cuticle). No living skin is cut or drilled at any point. This is the same boundary that standard nail technician licensing in the USA, Canada, UK, and Australia is built around. The "invasive" criticism you may have read online refers to improper technique — not anatomy-based dry manicure. Our blog covers this in detail.

I've never done dry manicure before. Where do I start? +

Start with the Oval Nail Shape Mastery course. It begins from zero — no prior e-file experience needed. It covers removal, cuticle prep, flame bit work, and the oval shape from scratch, with every RPM setting and angle explained. Once you complete Oval, the rest of the system follows a clear path: Square → Problem Nails → Pedicure. Or get the full Complete Bundle and work through all courses in order.

How long do I have access to the courses? +

You have lifetime access to all purchased courses. Learn at your own pace, revisit lessons anytime, and access future updates at no additional cost.

Are these courses suitable for beginners? +

The Oval and Square courses are designed for all levels — including complete beginners to dry manicure. They start with fundamentals and explain every decision. The Problem Nails Masterclass is advanced: it assumes you are already confident with gel leveling and e-file removal. If you're just starting, begin with Oval.

What if I'm not satisfied with the course? +

We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, contact us within 14 days for a full refund — provided that no more than 30% of the course content has been viewed. Full details at vel.academy/refund.

Do I get a certificate upon completion? +

Yes. A certificate of completion from VEL Academy is issued after you finish all modules of any course. You can display it in your salon, add it to your professional portfolio, or share it with clients who ask about your qualifications.

Can I purchase individual courses or only the bundle? +

Both options are available. Individual courses start at $39.99. The Complete Bundle includes all 6 courses plus 2 exclusive bonus lessons (Manicure on Mature Hands and Express 34-Minute Manicure) for $259.99 — saving $59.96 compared to buying everything separately. The bonus lessons are not sold individually.

What equipment do I need? +

Each course includes a detailed equipment list. For most courses you need: an e-file machine with flame bit and carbide bits, cuticle scissors, nail files (100/180 grit), an orange wood stick, and gel products (base, builder/leveling gel, color, top coat, UV/LED lamp). Most professional nail techs already have this equipment.
