WHAT WE CAN COVER IN YOUR SKILL SESSION

Perfecting Nail Prep for Flawless Retention 

Prep is everything. I’ll show you how to properly care for the natural nail, clean the cuticle area with precision, and create the perfect foundation for any gel or builder application. If you’re e-file trained, we’ll go through how to use it confidently to save time while still achieving a meticulous finish that lasts.

 

Refining Your Gel & Builder Gel Application 

Learn The Totally Polished Way to get ultra-clean cuticle lines, smooth overlays, and strong apex placement for durability. I’ll also share tips for working neatly and efficiently, reducing product waste, and creating sets that keep clients coming back.

Levelling Up Your Nail Art Skills 
Want to stand out with your designs? We can deep-dive into advanced nail art techniques like pigments, foils, glitters, and detailed hand-painted designs. Whether you want to master clean line work, create trending textures, or improve your creativity, we’ll work on designs that suit your style and clientele.


Business & Client Growth Strategies
It’s not just about nails—it’s about building a thriving business. We can work on how to attract your dream clients, increase rebooking's, build client loyalty, and create a seamless client experience that feels 5-star from start to finish.

Social Media & Branding Made Simple 
If you’re struggling with how to show up online, I’ll help you create a clear strategy for social media that feels doable (and not overwhelming). We’ll cover how to showcase your work, use stories & reels effectively, and position yourself as the go-to tech in your area.

WHAT MAKES TOTALLY POLISHED DIFFERENT

Even after you’ve trained, there’s still so much to learn. Techniques evolve, trends change, and sometimes, after the initial course, you’re left with more questions than answers. 

That’s why I created my mentoring sessions—to bridge the gap between your training and real salon life. I’ll share not just what I know, but also the tips, techniques, and insider knowledge I’ve learned from countless mentoring sessions, masterclasses, and years behind the nail desk. 

So many courses out there rush students through content or leave them confused and underprepared for real clients. My mission is to raise the standard and give you the confidence, clarity, and support you need to actually thrive as a nail tech. 

I still work at the nail desk every week, so everything I teach is grounded in what’s working right now in a busy salon environment. I know what it feels like to struggle. I was so close to giving up nails entirely—my wrists were in agony, my hands would seize up from repetitive strain, and I felt like I couldn’t keep up. But discovering better techniques and refining my skills gave me a new lease of life in my career. Now, I want to give the same to you. There’s no need to struggle or figure it out the hard way—mentoring can make the process easier, quicker, and so much more enjoyable.
