The Nail Drip Academy
I’m a licensed nail technician, educator, and entrepreneur who began my nail career in 2018. After spending years working behind the desk and servicing a wide range of clients, I transitioned into education in 2022 with the goal of helping nail technicians build confidence through strong, correct application.
I’m known for my clean work and straightforward teaching style, with a focus on mastering the fundamentals and understanding why each step matters. To better support beginners, I launched my own acrylic line designed to help improve control, create smoother application, and achieve more consistent results. As demand grew, the line expanded and is now used by both beginner and experienced nail technicians.
Through in-person classes, online education, and mentorship, I’ve worked with nail technicians at different stages of their journey — from those just starting out to techs refining their technique and business practices. As the founder of The Nail Drip and The Nail Drip Academy, I continue to share practical tools, real-world experience, and education rooted in solid foundations rather than shortcuts or trends.

Strong nail sets start with strong application.
In this look-and-learn class, I’ll walk through my approach to clean acrylic and polygel application, focusing on the small details that make the biggest difference in retention, structure, and overall finish.
Attendees will see how to properly prep the nail, control product without overworking it, and place acrylic and polygel with intention to avoid bulk, lifting, and uneven sets. I’ll also break down the key differences between acrylic and polygel, helping students understand when and how to use each system confidently — and how adding both services can increase their earning potential.
This session is designed for beginner and advancing nail technicians who want to strengthen their foundation, improve consistency, and leave with techniques they can apply immediately behind the desk.
Designs are beautiful, but designs placed on a weak foundation won’t help you retain or gain clients. When application isn’t solid, sets lift, crack, or break and no amount of creativity can make up for that. Clean, consistent application is what builds trust, keeps clients coming back, and turns good work into a strong reputation.
This class is centered on strengthening that foundation. By focusing on proper prep and controlled product placement, nail technicians can improve retention, consistency, and overall quality.
