From Beginner to Confident Nail Tech — Start with This Checklist
Transform how you prep, apply, and finish gel overlays with my Ultimate Beginner Nail Technician Checklist: the exact guide I wish I had when I was starting out.
Everything you need to start your nail tech journey with confidence and skip the common mistakes that slow beginners down.
Hi! I'm Christina, your instructor and new Nail Tech Besite!
In the spring of 2022 I graduated from Nailed Academy in Saint George Utah. I opened my nail business shortly after and fell in love with all things nails! In January of 2023 I took a certification class with a Magpie Beauty Educator and instantly fell in love with Magpie Beauty products. I switched all my clients over and have never looked back!
After months of using Magpie Beauty products I became the Southern Utah Supplier and Educator. I love educating and hope to see you in my classroom soon!
Are you frustrated by:
Gel overlays peeling or lifting after just a few days?
