Free Online Nail Courses

Short mini-courses that each focus on one problem or topic. They introduce key concepts, highlight common mistakes, and offer practical solutions.

Quick Answer

What are free mini-courses?

Short, focused educational resources that each address one problem or concept in nail practice. They introduce key ideas, explain common mistakes, and offer practical solutions — but they do not replace comprehensive step-by-step masterclass training.

Difference

What Makes These Courses Different

Each one goes into genuine depth on a single topic, using the same diagnostic approach that underpins all Artistic Touch education.

01

Practical, salon-based

Built from real salon experience. Topics, examples, and explanations come from actual client work — not theoretical scenarios.

02

One topic at a time

Each course covers a single subject in depth rather than skimming across many. You finish with clear, usable understanding.

03

Easy to follow

Written and presented clearly, without assuming prior knowledge of the topic. Accessible whether newly qualified or experienced.

04

Learn at your own pace

No deadlines, no live sessions, no pressure. Access the material when it suits you and revisit as many times as needed.

05

Created by an educator

All courses created by Radina Ignatova, Professional Nail Expert since 2014, who continues to work in active salon practice.

06

Free to access

No cost, no trial period, no credit card. Available to any nail technician who wants to understand a specific topic better.
