Nicole Dowling
I have been in the nail and beauty industry for 20 years and have been running my own business for the past 16 years. I specialise in nail extensions and gel polish, and I love creating perfectly shaped nails. My passion for the nail industry led me to teaching six years ago, where I now help future nail technicians achieve their goals and pass on the knowledge and experience I’ve gained throughout my career.
Interests
I love the creativity that nail art allows - you can truly add your own flair to every design. I’m especially passionate about creating a sharp square nail with a crisp white French finish. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is watching my nearly qualified nail techs achieve amazing results and grow their own successful businesses.
Qualifications
I have gained many qualifications over the years and still enjoy learning and updating my skills. My higher qualifications include:
-
Level 2 & 3 in Nail Technology
-
Level 2 & 3 in Beauty Therapy
-
Level 2 Certificate in Nail Art
-
Level 3 Award in Education and Training
During lockdown, I threw myself into nail competitions and was proud to receive several trophies for my work.
