Whether you're a trained tech, training presently, wanting to train as a tech or even a hair dresser or make-up artist wanting to branch out and offer your clients more, you will leave with so much passion and drive to produce some really fantastic work.
I love how much fun I had and knowledge I gained from attending these workshops.
Like seriously.....not just getting to play with brand new product but getting to connect with like minded people and network.
The group of women that attended the workshops are awesome and everyone had input and questions that helped everyone learn just a little bit more and Penny was more than happy to answer any questions we had even if they seemed silly to the ones asking.
It was awesome to see so much enthusiasm and inspiration pouring out of one person, making every part of the Monaco Nail Academy workshops enjoyable.
Here's a link to find what they have to offer presently.....

Soon Taranaki will have its own educator, which will be amazing! We are quite sheltered here so not having to travel to do workshops etc would be so handy for us naki folks.
The new educator is none other than Brittany Bourgoise, owner of Flamingo Boutique and the area leader for Monaco.
Now.....I'm going to have a rave for a second so bare with me.....
I LOVE Artisitic products. I have used a few brands, and the consistency of quality is by far the best I've seen. Not only that but the support network Monaco have set up is incredible. Penny and her team are single handily changing the way this industries views its peers. Meaning everyone who attends these workshops, goes away having made new friends.
I fully respect Penny and her values and love how she welcomes everyone with open arms.
So here's an insight into what went on.....

One Burgess Hill, a little hard to find but stunning none the less.
DAY 1.
Nail Art 1.0 & Nail Art 2.0
So many demos with little tricks and tips on the best way to achieve certain nail designs.
Also getting play with things we have never played with before, like pigments, nail art pens and acrylic paint made specifically for nail design.
Not only that, but Penny gave us a little chemistry lesson (which I love knowing about, helps you understand why certain things need to be done and whats happening when things go wrong) and an acrylic/hard gel problem solving session to help us in any areas we might be struggling.

DAY 2.
Artistic Colour Gloss Certification & Pigments
Went back to basics on this one and went over how to prep nails properly, the reasons behind certain issues we may face and how to fix them and the correct removal technique.
I feel more confident in giving you the best dam gel polish service you can have now!
And with pigments (which I might add, I found to be the hardest to use.....most likely my brush is not the right type of brush to apply with...I will fix this when I have purchased the more important items I still need....well want lol).....well the possibilities are so vast.....you'll just have to take the class.
And as a added bonus i had a quick lesson on what IBX does and how it works and how to use it. I see this in my kit in the near future!
Here are my practice tips I finished while doing the class.....
 |
| (matte with gloss french, leopard print, daisies, teddy bear) |
 |
| (quilting pattern, marbling, union jack, teddy bear) |
 |
| (galaxy, pigment fade with scribe...semi fail, squares and flowers, paint/blood drips) |
 |
| (glitter pigment fade, full pigment, dispertion/snake skin) |
I have come home passionate and rearing to go!
