Dry Mani & Gel Application Course

The Dry Manicure and Gel Polish Course in Leeds at Beauty-licious Academy is a beginner-friendly, ABT accredited training course designed to give you the essential skills to carry out one of the most in-demand nail treatments within the beauty industry.

This course is perfect for those looking to start a career in nails or for existing nail technicians who want to add a gel polish finish to their treatments.

A dry manicure focuses on nail preparation without soaking in water like spa manicure, allowing for precise cuticle work and a clean, professional finish. This is then followed by the application of gel polish, a long-lasting system known for its durability, high shine, and chip-resistant results.

Gel polish is extremely popular for both hands and toes, making it a must-have service for clients who want a polished look that lasts longer than traditional nail polish.

This course is an essential foundation if you are planning to progress into other nail treatments, as many services require a gel polish finish to complete the final look professionally.

At Beauty-licious Academy Leeds, we specialise in fast-track, ABT accredited nail courses that allow you to gain practical, in-demand skills quickly in a supportive and professional training environment.
