2 days left before NSI free Webinar

If you haven't signed up yet for our free worldwide NSI Webinar this is your last chance!
Just follow the link nsiacademy.com fill your name and e-mail and you're in.

As we have only 2 days left I am getting ready for the Webinar and would like to share with you some nail art ideas.
I know that every attendee can have different background, skill level, experience, etc.
That's why I decided not to wait until Saturday and start practicing with you right now.
When you sign up at nsiacademy.com you will get access to 5 free educational videos of different designs, working with glitters and stained glass paint, easy fast christmas design and more.
This is one of the designs featured on this video set.


You will be able not only to watch this videos but also to practice, share your results and I will correct your mistakes or give you advice. Basically you'll get free personal nail art training. More than 60 nail technicians from different parts of the world already shared their projects. Some of them couldn't do it well on a first attempt. After I gave them some tips and secret how they can improve their work the results were amazing!
Check for yourself — once you get signed up you would be able to see your fellow student's works too.
If you experience troubles with nail sculpting, fitting the form, pinching nails, filing, anything that is related to nail sculpting and design - I would gladly help you.

Why is it so important to me?
I really truly want every single nail tech to learn, understand, and be able to create perfect, long-lasting nails. But it is not as easy as it sounds.
10 years ago when I finished my first beauty school my level didn't allow me to realize that I basically knew nothing. Nevertheless I started working as a nail technicians and even had several clients. I posted my amazing nail art (that's what I thought it was in 2004 :) ) at different forums to attract more clients. When suddenly one girl sent me a private message that turned my world around. 

She was very gentle and told me that my nail art looks good but the nail shape is horrible. I had no idea how to rebalance nails especially pink and white. She was kind enough to send me step by step pictures of how she does it. I tried it and then I finally got it. My skill level was so low I wasn't even able to sculpt nails that will last 4 weeks. After that my crazy-constant-learning-without-rest-or-food started. I took different classes every month, visited 27 cities to learn from top educators (Tom Holcomb, Trang Nguyen, Lorena Marquez, Denise Wright among them), got over 100 diplomas. And I am still learning.

That's why we started NSI Academy. I want to help nail technicians understand what is the correct nail prep, form fit, etc., demonstrate it and what's most important - teach it. I will grab your hand and guide you through all of the complicated process of doing nails until I'm sure you're doing it right. That is the way I see how we can make this world a prettier place.
Starting from creating a fabulous nails for women, girls, moms, business ladies. Everybody.

First Russian NSI webinar


At 11th of October I conducted first NSI Russian webinar "Secrets of creating a perfect shape".
450 participants attended this webinar from all over Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Poland, Italy, Spain, France, England, Montenegro and USA.
Webinar went smooth and easy. Thanks to my favorite Beauty Masters team – Marat, Dima and Timur, to my nail models – Natalia and Nastya, and my assistant nail tech that helped me to finish up the designs – Tatiana Borzova.
You all worked great guys!


We got 1800 comments on a webinar page and I’m still in the process on responding on them. VK.com banns me from time to time; they probably consider me to be some spam user.
I didn’t expect that many warm feedbacks from VK, Facebook and Instagram.

Thank you very much for your support!

Go Color. Testing new NSI tack free gel top



Brand new gel polish formula for nail enhancements. Go Color has no dry time, no tacky layer and cures to a high gloss color in just 60 seconds in a LED lamp. No base or top coat needed! Finally, a gel polish that can keep up with you!

On NSI University in Poland Grazyna Brylowska gave us few samples of this product to test.
We got 12 amazing shades.



Color that impressed me the most was “Lincoln Towncar” totally black shade. When client chooses black tone nail techs usually sigh cause applying black polish or even gel polish always takes at least two layers to get a good vibrant black shade. First layer of any black polish usually looks dark grey with white stripes. When we apply second and even third it is already too thick and we already regret of choosing black for one tone manicure.
With Go Color it’s not like that! This gel is thick enough to hold its position under the brush and to apply evenly with easy moves. One layer is totally enough to get a nice solid black.

See for yourself.


Another color we used for this manicure was “On the Go Orchid”. Nice lilac cream color. It is also thick and vibrant enough with only one layer.

One layer, no sticky residue, cure time just 60 seconds in LED lamp. Sounds like we will save at least 10 minutes per service!

Another advantage of Go Color is that it gives you that glossy shine for a long time.

We decided that testing GO Color on regular models is good but to give it a better crush test we should try it on nails that experience stress on them everyday. Who would that be?
Nail technician!
We applied them on Sofia’s nails – one of our competitors. She files, works with acrylic and gels all day long. That would be a good indicator of how this product lasts.
This is how it looked when we applied it on 2-week acrylic enhancement.



This product is based on original UV sealant Glaze ‘N Go which appears to be NSI best seller in most countries. Consider it the same product when you work with it just with color added.
You can only apply Go Color on acrylic or gel enhancement, no natural nails. For natural nail manicure use Polish Pro.

Here are 12 amazing shades of Go Color that we got.












To sum it up Go Color is a wonderful product for clients who prefer one tone manicure, for covering up design or pink and white.
It saves your time that is the most valuable resource in our lives.

Just Glaze ‘N Go!

Starting week long nail marathon in St. Petersburg

I am on my way to Saint Petersburg on a speed train called Sapsan. Unfortunately, wi fi is not working and 3G is really bad here. But it doesn’t mean I have nothing to do. I have many things to do offline like writing articles, choosing new photos, creating new educational programs, organizing schedule or writing this post.

Last week was extremely totally 24-hour busy. Along with our regular trainings in Nail Couture we also trained our students for upcoming championship Nevskie Berega that starts at 25th of September in Saint Petersburg.

Here are some works of our students.








 

More pictures of our students you can find in our groups on FacebookInstagram

St. Petersburg met me with its traditional grey windy cold rainy weather.





It is evening in now and I look forward to my 7-hour sleep this night. After 2-3-4 hour sleeps during last two weeks it feels like paradise.

Good night!
