About Builder Gel and BIAB Courses
Looking for a builder gel or BIAB course? Builder gel is one of the most requested nail services, giving natural nails extra strength and a smooth, glossy finish, and learning it well can transform your column.
Melanie Lewendon Nail Artist Training in Ripley, Derbyshire offers two ways to learn. The Online Builder Gel Course lets you study at home, watching each stage of preparation, application, apex placement and finishing until it becomes second nature. If you prefer to be guided at the desk, her In Person Nail Courses at the academy give you hands on time with feedback as you work. Both routes suit technicians who already know the basics of natural nail preparation and want to add an overlay service clients return for again and again. It is also a lovely option for clients who want strength and shine while they grow their own nails.
