"I just completed the Mastering Gel Polish Application and Nail Plate Alignment course and I'm absolutely thrilled with my new skills! The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and supportive, which made learning a breeze. I loved the comprehensive theoretical lessons that covered everything from the benefits of gel polish to troubleshooting common issues. My only minor complaints are that some of the theoretical topics could have been more in-depth, and I wished for more examples and case studies to illustrate certain concepts. Additionally, the mannequin was sometimes a bit tricky to work with, but this is hardly the instructor's fault! Overall, I would totally recommend this course to anyone looking to take their nail art skills to the next level. The instructors were top-notch, the materials provided were of high quality, and the lessons were well-structured and easy to follow. Can't wait to get back in the salon and show off my new skills!"
