)

28 students

Our Dipping Systems training is flexible and self-guided, with pre-recorded and live, one-on-one, educator-led components.

Note that SNS is a well-known brand of Dip, such that people think SNS and Dip are one and the same. We do not teach with the SNS brand, but our Dip training is product-neutral and gives you a basis for all brands.

This Module is suitable for anyone from complete beginners with no experience through to qualified Nail Techs wanting a refresher.

During this Module we will cover –

  • The science behind Dipping Systems such as SNS and Artistic Perfect Dip
  • How to apply a Dip Overlay
  • How to maintain Dip Manicures
  • How to remove Dip
  • How to extend the natural nail with Dip
  • How to create an ombre effect with Dip

Your fees include – 

  • 7+ Hours of Video Content. Pre-recorded Demo videos allow you to see a demonstration from multiple angles, up close, and with the benefit of rewatching.
  • 4.5 hours of live, one-on-one online lessons* –
    • Dip Manicure – 2 Hours
    • Dip Removal and Reapplication with a French Finish – 2.5 Hours
  • A Starter Kit with everything you need to complete your training**
  • 7-Day Support via our Facebook Group. We have a beautiful, unparalleled community of like-minded folk in there, ready to welcome you.
  • 5-Day Support via Email and Phone
  • Note that there is no Assessment for this module.

How does it work?

Within 2 business days of enrolling, you will receive access to the online components of your course, which you can access by logging into this website. You can work through the content at your leisure, but need to complete it before attending live lessons.

As you work through the pre-recorded content of each Module, you will often see markers that say ‘It’s Time to Book a Lesson’ (which refers to a live session with a Mentor). There will be instructions on how to book. You can see a breakdown of all lessons by downloading a Lesson Guide from our Student Resources page.

Lessons can be booked with complete flexibility around your own needs and availability, matched with the availability of your chosen Mentors. You might choose to attend only mornings, only afternoons, only weekends, or a total mix and match – it’s entirely up to you. If you have limited availability or need to finish quickly, please email us to check your Mentors availability before enrolling.

Tell me more about Dipping Systems

Dipping systems are most suited for people that find Gel Polish alone isn’t strong enough to prevent breakages, layering resin and powder to create durable nails without the need for UV curing. 

You’re probably most familiar with the brand SNS but this IS just a brand name for ONE Dip System. We teach with Artistic Perfect Dip but all of our courses are brand-neutral and you can use whatever you like. 

Fun fact – lots of people think Dipping is a new exciting innovation but it’s actually been around since the 80s. Dip evolved from earlier techniques involving dipping nails into acrylic powders mixed with adhesive resins, providing a simpler and quicker method for nail enhancements. It disappeared into oblivion with the evolution of hard gel before coming back in all it’s glory in the age of busy culture.

The Pros: Dipping systems offer a quick application process and deliver durable, long-lasting results without the need for UV curing. They are a popular request for clients (who often refer to them as SNS). This is because their wide availability in high-volume mall salons has made them well known, and the concept of dipping a finger straight into a pot of powder has made them a talking point.

The Cons: Despite their efficiency, dipping systems can be limited in flexibility compared to gel or acrylic enhancements, becoming brittle over time. The removal process takes longer than that of gel products and rushing this can cause damage to the natural nail.

What if I’m not good enough?

Your live lessons are where, after watching the pre-recorded demonstrations, a Mentor can help you in real-time. There’s a misconception that you need to be good before you join a lesson but this is definitely false! A lesson is where your Mentor guides you through practicing for the first time – you’re not supposed to be a master.

 

Where are the courses held?

This course is 100% online including pre-recorded, live and exam components. Complete from your home or salon, no matter where you are.

Will I get a Certificate?

This Module is part of the Foundation Certificate in Nail Technology. A Sticker to add to your Foundation Certificate in Nail Technology certificate is included with this course, available after all criteria are met.

*Live Lessons – It’s a common misconception that our online courses are just pre-recorded videos, however they actually include indepth live lessons done via Zoom. We genuinely find that students get better results from online training as they can see closer and across multiple angles, even recording their lessons to rewatch. However, if –

  • You have previously completed training in the same subject and are using this course as a refresher.
  • OR you plan on working towards the Introduction to Nail Technology
  • OR you only plan on doing a couple of modules and are happy with an A5 ‘Short Course’ Certificate

– then use Coupon Code SHORTDIP at Check Out and we’ll remove live lessons from your enrolment.

**Don’t need a kit? We do require you to use professional-only products during lessons and assessments, but if you already have these, that’s ok! Use Coupon Code NOKITDIP at Check Out and we’ll remove the kit from your enrolment.
