This course contains two major modules:

Module 1:

      The Fundamentals of Nail Technology

This module consists of 10 video classes in excess of 18 minutes each.

The key concepts that were covered in this module are:

• The incorporation of new ergonomic designs and crafts is improving manicure instruments substantially.
• Areas of the body are not isolated; the human body functions because numerous systems within it collaborate.
• The leg and foot muscles are analogous to the arm and hand muscles.
• Blood supplies nutrients (molecules from food, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) and oxygen to the skin.
• The skin has three layers–epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layer. Nail technicians are more concerned with the structure of the epidermis.
• The natural nail is divided into several major parts–nail plate, nail bed, matrix, cuticle, nail folds, eponychium, hyponychium, and specialized ligaments. A nail plate is the nail unit's most apparent and functional element.
• A healthy nail should be whitish and translucent in appearance.
• Good lighting is essential for performing any nail therapy.
• A disinfectant container must store enough liquid disinfectant solution to submerge numerous service sets of instruments.
• Files are used to shape and remove length from the nails, while buffers are used to polish the nails.
• The most frequent grit sizes used in the nail industry are 80, 100, 180, 240, and 360. A combination of 180/240 is suitable for all artificial nails.
• Cuticle nippers remove a cuticle lifted with a cuticle knife but remain connected to the nail plate. Hangnails can also be removed with them.
• Organic compounds make up all nail enhancements, tips and finishes. Not all organic substances are natural, healthy or safe.
• Acidic solutions have a pH of less than 7.0 and cause litmus paper to become red. Alkaline solutions have a pH greater than 7.0 and change the color of litmus paper from red to blue.
• All chemicals can potentially be dangerous, but the quantity of a chemical often determines whether it is safe or harmful.
• Adhesion occurs when molecules on one surface are attracted to molecules on another surface. Adhesion is optimum when the nail plate is clean and dry.
• Primers improve adhesion and adhesives enable the joining of incompatible surfaces.
• Fingernail coatings are divided into coatings that cure or polymerase and coatings that harden upon evaporation.

Module 2:

 The Essentials for Nail Specialists

This module consists of 11 video classes in excess of 19 minutes each.

   The key concepts that were covered in this module are:

• A manicure is a cosmetic treatment of the nails involving cutting, shaping, and often painting the nails, removing cuticles, and softening the skin.
• Painting the nails after a paraffin wax treatment is not recommended because the nail will have absorbed oils, and the paint will likely come off rapidly.
• A man's manicure follows the same steps as a woman's, with the exception of omitting the colored lacquer and/or buffing the nails with a high-shine buffer.
• Hard, brittle, and dry nails, as well as dry cuticles, benefit from oil therapy on the feet, just as they do on the hands. When you buff your toenails, the varnish lasts considerably longer. Excessive ridges on the big toe can be decreased with a 240-grit file.
• Any nail condition that shows signs of infection or inflammation should not be diagnosed or treated in a salon. Untreatable conditions are infections, onychogryphosis, onycholysis, onychomadesis, onychomycosis, and fungal infections.
• Artificial nails are extensions that are placed over fingernails as fashion accessories. The upkeep of artificial nails is more frequent than that of conventional manicures.
• The ideal shape and strength will be easier to attain if the three zones of a nail are always kept in mind when applying an overlay.
• The colors created by combining equal parts of two primary colors are known as secondary colors. Green is made by mixing yellow and blue.
• Airbrushing is a distinct painting style with possible color combinations, fading, and designs.
• Nail professionals should use latex or nitrile gloves since bacteria cannot pass through these materials.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) protects workers from danger in the workplace.
• The first step of the COSHH assessment is to read the manufacturer's instructions and data sheet for each product.
• The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HASAWA) promotes excellent working practices and control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH), providing assessing substances for their potential hazard.
• For nail professionals, flying debris can cause eye injury, and airborne bacteria can cause serious eye infections.
• Management opportunities in the salon and spa environment include the inventory manager, retail sales manager, department head, special events manager (promotions), assistant manager, and general manager.
