" I recently trained with Charlotte in Builder Gel overlay, the training was amazing from start to finish.  Charlotte is extremely knowledgeable & is a great teacher, she's patient & explains everything really clearly.​  I feel super comfortable & she is on top of her game in this industry!"

"I am dyslexic & thanks to the video presentation & images I could follow the instructions clear & simple.  The use of diagrams were very useful & each category covers everything you needed to know.  The information was clear & broken down in stages & I was given lots of praise & made to feel comfortable & confident"

Ambre

~

"I've really learnt so many tricks & tips from charlotte's Nail Art Masterclass.  I followed the Autumn nail art videos which includes a great variety of designs which can be adapted for all seasons.  She breaks everything down clearly step by step so it's super easy to follow.  I really appreciate how she shares advice on how to make salon friendly versions of the designs that can be quick & effective.  As a beginner I didn't know what to buy & so the recommended products for the different looks was super helpful."

Charly

"I enjoyed learning from Charlotte so much, her builder in a bottle course has been extremely informative & her videos are great.  I will regularly be looking back over them & keeping up to date with her content.  Charlotte has been so patient with me & made me feel so reassured throughout, especially on our zoom call assessment."
