Why a hobby course at $49
Accredited professional nail courses — the kind that qualify you for insurance and paying clients — typically run $170–$400, because they include certification and assessment. Gilded Nail Studio is deliberately positioned differently: a premium hobby course for perfecting your own nails at home, without the accreditation overhead.
What a $49 hobby course gets you
- Five complete guided classes, not one recorded video
- Erica explaining every step in plain first-person language
- Interactive progress, pause-and-do-it moments and checklists
- Troubleshooting answers for the mistakes beginners actually make
- Lifetime access, including future classes
What it isn't
- —Professional certification or a licence to work on clients
- —Accredited assessment, kits or instructor feedback
- —Medical or dermatological advice — Erica teaches technique, not treatment
If you later want to charge clients, an accredited course is the right next step — and everything here will still have taught you the technique.
