Safe At-Home Gel Application - Monaco Nail Academy
If you love doing your own nails but want to make sure you’re doing them safely and correctly, the Safe At-Home Gel Course from Monaco Nail Academy is the perfect starting point.
This course teaches you everything you need to apply and remove gel properly, protect your natural nails, and avoid the common (and often harmful!) mistakes found in DIY gel kits.
You’ll learn through pre-recorded, step-by-step lessons at your own pace. There are no live classes or prior experience needed - just two online assessments to complete from home when you're ready.
You’ll learn how to prep correctly, understand curing, match gels and lamps, avoid common mistakes, and remove gel without damaging your nails.
Course includes:
- 17+hours of video content. Pre-recorded videos allow the benefit of rewatching
- 12 months of access to the course
- 7-day support via Monaco Nail Academy Facebook Group
- Unlimited attempts at your online Theory Assessment, for free
- Unlimited attempts at your Gel Manicure Assessment*
*The first attempt is included in your fees but you can repeat it as many times as you like for $49 per attempt.
Pass the online Theory Test: Receive a Colour Gloss Complete Kit for free. Professional only products with a mini lamp.
Pass the online Gel Manicure Assessment: You'll earn your Safe Gel Application Certificate, giving you access to buy pro-only products.
Enrol through Nailart: You'll get an exclusive discount on your first Nailart purchase to help you get started with pro-only products at home when you provide your certificate.

Choose Your Study Pathway
Whether you're taking a single module or a full qualification, your enrolment begins with selecting your course. Once your deposit is processed, you’ll receive 12 months of online access to your chosen course or module.
Choose Your Payment Option
To keep things flexible, you can enrol in one of three ways:
Full Course (Deposit + Lessons): Includes your deposit and required in-person lessons. Training dates can be booked immediately.
Deposit Only: If you prefer to spread out payments, you can start with the course deposit. This secures your place and unlocks your 12 months of online learning. When you're ready, you can purchase your in-person lessons separately. These lessons are required for certification, and once paid, we’ll book your practical training schedule.
Lessons Only: If you’ve already paid your deposit, you can purchase the in-person lessons to begin your hands-on training with me.
Flexible Payment Methods
You can pay via website, bank transfer, or Afterpay.
I understand that paying everything upfront isn’t always possible. If you need a payment plan, just reach out - I’m happy to work with you to create something manageable so you can keep progressing.
Access to Your Online Learning
Within 2 business days of enrolling, you will receive access to the online components of your course.
If this is your first time enrolling with Monaco Nail Academy, please put your preferred username and password in the notes of your order. If not supplied, we will choose one for you.
Book Your In-Person Lessons
As you move through your online learning, you’ll see prompts that say “It’s time to book a lesson.” These are your prepaid, in-person sessions with me at my home salon in Nelson. Other locations can be arranged, though extra fees may apply.
Training Kit Options
Products kits are an additional cost to your course. All courses require professional only products and must be used during class time. Comprehensive Monaco Nail Academy kits - along with Nailart training kits designed to complement your course - are available to purchase directly through Nailart. As a student you’re eligible to purchase through both Monaco Nail Academy and
Nailart.
