Online advanced course for nail technicians
In most cases, lifting comes from the prep. Learn the landmarks for a clean, safe prep without a manicure, with a hand file or an e-file.
Lifting can have several causes, but most of the time it starts with the prep. You'll learn the landmarks that prevent it, before you even apply the product.
A manicure takes time and practice, and many clients don't need one. You'll learn to prep the nail plate without it, gain space on the nail and still get a beautiful result.
Too much filing, the wrong grit, a slip with the e-file. You'll learn the right movements and tools, and how to recognize a damaged nail and adapt.
You receive your certificate of completion at the end of the program.
You get one free correction if you feel you need it.
The demonstrations show the e-file, then the hand file, so you choose your tool. If you don't work with an e-file, this course is perfectly suited for you. To learn the full e-file technique, combine it with Fill-in Mastery.
The model has standard cuticles, to show that the result can look great without a manicure. When the cuticle is very abundant, a classic, combination or Russian manicure is needed: this course doesn't teach those services.
Rewatch any lesson as many times as you need, something no in-person class allows.
Prep a model or a client, then send me photos of the nails.
I point out what works and what to adjust. One correction is included.
Real reviews from Kittycia students, translated from French.
I highly recommend! Kittycia is a meticulous trainer! Don't be afraid of the distance, quite the opposite! You really get the feeling of doing a tailor-made course. And on top of that, you learn at your own pace. Brilliant!
Second training… At the top, super well explained, and I love the comparisons at certain moments that really make me laugh. I'm going to rewatch it this evening.
Like many of you, I hesitated before treating myself to an online course, and in the end, honestly, I have absolutely no regrets! Alicia's explanations are so clear and detailed that the product barely matters: you just adapt!
Delivered at the end of the program.

When I started in 2009, I spent three years making mistakes I couldn't explain. In 2012, a new training finally showed me that every one of them had a reason, and I started training others.
That's why understanding is at the heart of everything I teach. I've been training nail technicians since 2012 and online since 2020, and more than 23,000 nail technicians have joined the Kittycia community.
