★★★★★I started the Gel Base Plus course from scratch. What can I say? Michela is fantastic: she makes you feel passionate about every lesson.
As well as being an honest, extremely knowledgeable professional, she is always there to help. You really feel supported…
It is a challenging course, but immensely rewarding. It will certainly be the first of many.
Thank you, Michela, for your kindness, which should never be taken for granted, and for every piece of advice ❤️
Melissa de Marco
★★★★★I am taking the Gel Base Plus course and started from scratch. Michela explains everything perfectly in her lessons. When she gives feedback, she makes it clear where you have gone wrong, which is how it should be, and gives you lots of advice. When I said I wanted to take an online course, people told me: no, take it in person, you will not learn anything online. But I can say I was right to trust myself and join Michela's Academy, because she is exceptional. I recommend it!
Francesca Rossi
★★★★★I have just finished my Gel Base Plus course with Michela. Besides being a wonderful experience, I found someone knowledgeable, well prepared, professional and excellent at explaining things. There are still honest people who love their work and know how to share that passion.
I highly recommend her courses: you will feel at ease and finish feeling satisfied.
Alice Alvisi
★★★★★I took a Gel Base Plus course with Michela.
I had already taken two courses in the past but was not satisfied at all. Full of doubts and disappointment, I was afraid to try again because I thought I was the problem and would never be able to succeed.
Over these days, Michela taught me so many aspects of the nail world that I had never seen before! I realised how important it is to learn from someone professional and honest!
But that is not all… Michela is incredibly kind and helpful!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!
I was so pleased that I have already booked my next course 😊
Nicole Negri
★★★★★I took the Gel Base Plus course and highly recommend it, especially if, like me, you are starting from scratch. Michela helps you fall in love with this world and gives you the right foundations to get started.
Corine Roux
★★★★★Today I received my Gel Base Plus course certificate. I am so happy because it is a huge achievement for me. Michela guided me step by step with great professionalism. I know there is still a long way to go because experience takes time, but I have taken that first big step. Thank you from the heart ❤️😘
Sophie Luciani
★★★★★I took two basic gel courses in the past. To stay up to date and improve my technique, I decided to take another one, this time online. What can I say? It is the perfect course for a truly comprehensive understanding of gel basics. I highly recommend it to everyone. Even though it is online, I found it thorough and clear in every respect! Michela is a true professional and so helpful with everything. She deserves the highest rating ❤️ I will definitely take more courses with her Academy 🥰
Erika Cappellari
★★★★★I am taking the online Gel Base Plus course 😍 What can I say? Highly recommended. It gives you very thorough information about working as a nail technician, and Michela is always happy to correct our work and give us suggestions 😍 I want to take more courses with her soon ❤️
Emy Happyness Light
★★★★★I am halfway through the Base Plus course. What can I say? A whole new world has opened up to me. Michela explains everything in the smallest detail so naturally that you cannot fail to notice how knowledgeable she is. Even at a distance, through a video, Michela conveys her passion for what she teaches. I am very happy with the Base Plus course, and as soon as I finish it I will move on to the Dry Manicure & Gel Polish course. 🤩🤩🤩
MariaNatascia de Cosimo
★★★★★What do I recommend? Everything! I previously took basic courses in person at a much higher price, but I never learned what I am learning now, partly because so little was explained to me! Michela's passion, precision and, above all, her detailed yet simple and accessible explanations mean you do not miss being in a classroom. And being able to watch the course again as many times as you like? Priceless! I am taking 3 courses and will soon take another. Thank you, Michela, for the wonderful opportunity you have given us with this Academy! Sending you a big hug 😉
Let me introduce myself
Michela Parascandolo
International Master Trainer
I have worked in nail enhancements and nail art for 10 years, teaching in person and online in Italy and abroad.
In 2020, I launched Nail Artist Academy, the first online course academy in the sector, which now has more than 5.000 students.
If you would like to see some of my work, take a look at my social channels.
I will guide you step by step
During the course I will often ask you to send me your work so that I can guide you, help you and correct anything that needs attention.
I make corrections directly on your images, as you can see in these photos. It will feel as though I am right there beside you.
These are the results my students have achieved
Below you can see some photos sent by my students who have taken my beginner courses.
A different kind of certificate, with more value for your career
This is very important to me.
For me, passing on my knowledge matters more than handing out a piece of paper.
That is why a diploma is awarded only to students who show they have understood the subject and can put what the course teaches into practice.
At the end of the course you can:
- take a multiple-choice quiz. Do not worry: if you do not pass, you can retake it as many times as you like.
- send photos of your work so I can review them, make corrections if needed and help you reach the required standard.
You will then receive your certificate.
You are welcome to watch the course without working towards a certificate.
We believe this process gives the diploma greater value, making it more useful in your professional life.
People know that holders of my diploma have real practical skills: it is not simply a certificate of attendance.
I hope to welcome you as one of my students soon and start this journey together.
