I am a newbie, can I take this course?
Absolutely! Our courses are specifically designed to be beginner-friendly. If you've watched a few online videos related to manicures or have had a manicure service before, you already have the basic knowledge required to enroll in our courses.
While the course is designed for beginners, it’s important to understand that it doesn’t promise immediate expertise. Mastering the Russian Manicure technique depends on various factors, including individual learning pace, practice, and commitment. As this is a hands-on skill, significant time and effort will need to be invested to fully hone your abilities. Consistent practice is essential to developing the precision and artistry required to excel.
I've been a nail technician for years. How do I benefit from taking your courses?
Being a nail technician with years of experience is a significant accomplishment. However, in the ever-evolving world of nail art and design, continuous learning and skill enhancement are paramount for staying competitive and successful in your business.
Our courses offer a valuable opportunity to tap into a wealth of knowledge accumulated by Russian expert nail technicians and instructors. By enrolling in our courses, you can ensure that you stay up to date with all the latest advancements and trends in the industry. This investment in your education and skills not only keeps your expertise current but can also help you elevate the quality of your services and ultimately grow your business.
How long does it take to complete the course?
The duration of the course varies depending on the specific course you've enrolled in. The lesson time frames can range from as short as 45 minutes to up to 3 hours. Please keep in mind that this duration does not include the additional time you might need for research and practice.
For gold courses, the time required may also depend on your progress and practical skills. In some cases, our instructors may request additional practical work before issuing your certificate.
Please check the "Courses" page for more details.
Can I start working on clients right after taking the course?
Holding a Level 1 to Level 3 Certificate of Completion means you are a certified nail technician, fully equipped to start working with clients. Earning your certificate demonstrates that you have achieved a high level of technical excellence. However, we strongly recommend gaining real-world experience by practicing on 2-5 friends or family members before working with paying clients. This extra practice will help refine your soft skills and further enhance your overall proficiency, which is the ultimate goal of these courses.
I have taken other manicure courses before, but I still cannot achieve the quality that I am aiming for. Can you help me?
Absolutely, we understand your desire to achieve the level of quality you're aiming for. Unlike watching a YouTube video, it's important to approach online courses with a different mindset. Our courses are meticulously crafted and includes multiple demonstrations from our head educator @AENaildesign who have years of experience both in nail practice and teaching. @AENaildesign have designed the courses to be easy to understand, highly practical, and effective in helping you develop your skills.
All our instructional videos are available in high-definition (HD) with subtitle options to ensure you have a detailed audio explanation alongside the visuals. However, if you encounter anything that seems unclear or requires a deeper understanding, be prepared to conduct additional research if you are enrolled in a Silver course. For those in any of our Gold courses, don't hesitate to reach out to your instructor for assistance.
Remember, just like any technical skill, achieving excellence in nail art and design is a journey that involves practice and dedication. This is why we recommend enrolling in one of our Gold courses. In our Gold courses, you'll have the invaluable support of a dedicated instructor throughout your learning journey. They will be there to assist you when needed, assign practical projects, and provide additional practice sessions to help you refine your skills. This personalized guidance ensures that you reach the level of proficiency you aspire to in the art of nail design.
What is the difference between the Silver and Gold courses? Certificate of Attendance and Certificate of Completion?
The primary distinction between our Silver and Gold courses lies in the type of certificate you will receive upon completion:
- Silver course provide a Certificate of Attendance. This certificate acknowledges your participation in the course and the knowledge you've gained. It is suitable for those who wish to build a fundamental understanding of nail techniques and design. Taking the silver course doesn't certify you to be able to work on clients immediately after course completion.
- Gold Course issue a Certificate of Completion. This certificate not only recognizes your participation but also signifies your mastery of the course material. Gold Courses are designed for those who want to achieve a higher level of expertise in nail art and design and this course certifies you to be able to provide services to clients right after successfully completing the course.
There are four different certification levels for the Gold Course:
COA - Certificate of Attendance: This certificate acknowledges participation in the course and the knowledge gained. It is given when a Gold student has completed the course but has not yet met the required standards for full certification. This serves as recognition of effort and commitment throughout the course, with the option to recertify to a higher level.
Certificate of Completion Level 1
This certificate is awarded to students who have shown an understanding of the basic concepts and techniques covered in the course. It signifies that you have grasped the foundational knowledge necessary to proceed to more advanced levels.
Certificate of Completion Level 2
This certificate is given to students who have demonstrated proficiency in the intermediate concepts and techniques of the course. It indicates that you have developed a deeper understanding and skillset, preparing you for advanced applications.
Certificate of Completion Level 3
This certificate not only recognizes your participation but also signifies your mastery of the course material. It is awarded to students who have achieved a high level of competence and expertise, demonstrating excellence in all areas covered by the course.
In addition to the certificate type, our Gold Courses offer a unique advantage. Students in Gold Courses receive one-on-one support from a dedicated instructor 45 days from the enrollment date and One 20 minute live call. This instructor will guide and coach you when needed, assign practical projects, and provide extra practice sessions to help you refine your skills until you reach the level required to earn the Certificate of Completion. This personalized support ensures that you achieve excellence in nail art and design.

What are the required tools for the gold course
Download the checklist below.
If you need to order additional tools for the course, you can contact our partner, Nail Central Market, at nailcentralmarket@gmail.com.
Why can't I enroll in any Gold Courses?
We have limited slots available per month because we are committed to ensuring the highest quality of support for our enrolled nail technicians. To stay updated on slot openings, we recommend following us on our social media channels (@russianmanicureph). We regularly post announcements when new slots become available.
Can I enroll in a Silver course now and sign up for a Gold course later at a discounted price? I wanted to take a Gold course, but all slots are fully booked.
Absolutely! Currently, you can contact us via email if you've completed a Silver course and wish to enroll in a Gold course for additional practice, projects, and to become a certified nail technician. We also plan to make this add-on course available on our website as slots become available.
How long can I access the course?
You will have 30 (Silver), 45 (Gold) days of access to the course starting from the date of enrollment. This gives you ample time to work through the course materials at your own pace and convenience. If you have any questions or require further assistance during this time, our support team is available to help.
Why is there an access limitation to all courses?
Russian Manicure Philippines (RMPH) is dedicated to elevating the Nail Industry in the Philippines. To achieve this, we have implemented access limitations for a specific reason. Our intention is to encourage students to be dedicated and focused on their courses, rather than viewing them as something they can access at their convenience.
We aim to create a community of nail technicians who are genuinely eager to learn and grow. This is why we have set time constraints for taking the courses.
Moreover, because these courses involve the acquisition of technical skills, consistent practice without long delays is essential to develop muscle memory. If we were to provide a full year to master manicure skills, it wouldn't be effective.
We firmly believe that one month is more than sufficient to guide you to a certified nail technician level. If you are looking for a one-day training, our courses might not be the best fit, as mastering these skills and achieving excellence takes time and commitment.
Additionally, we don't allow requests for access extension for the same reason. The continuity of learning is vital for skill acquisition, and granting extensions would hinder this progression. We appreciate your understanding and commitment to the learning journey.
Why is the video in low quality?
All our videos are in HD quality. Please make sure to allow the videos to load or ensure that you are connected to a high-speed, stable internet connection for optimal viewing. Additionally, please ensure you have chosen the highest quality available under settings, when playing the videos.
Do I receive any support if I enroll in a Silver Course?

Since instructors may be assisting multiple students simultaneously, we kindly request that you allow for a response time of up to 72 hours.
