This hands-on class dives into the art of character nail design by showing you how to see the art before you paint it. You’ll create a fully themed five-design set while learning how to break detailed artwork into simple, strategic shapes that make mapping, placement, and execution click.

Rather than copying a design, you’ll learn a repeatable process for building characters with intention: using clean line work, custom color mixing, layered detailing, and sculpting gels for added dimension. The focus is on clarity, control, and confidence, so your character art feels deliberate, not overwhelming.

You won’t just leave with a themed set, you’ll leave with a new way of thinking about nail art.

Once you see the map…everything changes.
