Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our courses

Is a license-safe Russian manicure course online legal in my state or country? +
Yes — when performed correctly. The technique taught at VEL Academy works exclusively with dead tissue (pterygium and dry cuticle). No living skin is cut or drilled at any point. This is the same boundary that standard nail technician licensing in the USA, Canada, UK, and Australia is built around. The "invasive" criticism you may have read online refers to improper technique — not anatomy-based dry manicure. Our blog covers this in detail.
What's the best online course to learn Russian manicure? +
VEL Academy is built as a complete step-by-step system rather than scattered tutorials — every shape, every problem case, so you leave knowing exactly how to charge premium prices and fill your book. Lifetime access, certificate of completion included.
I've never done dry manicure before. Where do I start? +
Start with the Oval Nail Shape Mastery course. It begins from zero — no prior e-file experience needed. It covers removal, cuticle prep, flame bit work, and the oval shape from scratch, with every RPM setting and angle explained. Once you complete Oval, the rest of the system follows a clear path: Square → Problem Nails → Pedicure. Or get the full Complete Bundle and work through all courses in order.
How long do I have access to the courses? +
You have lifetime access to all purchased courses. Learn at your own pace, revisit lessons anytime, and access future updates at no additional cost.
Are these courses suitable for beginners? +
The Oval and Square courses are designed for all levels — including complete beginners to dry manicure. They start with fundamentals and explain every decision. The Problem Nails Masterclass is advanced: it assumes you are already confident with gel leveling and e-file removal. If you're just starting, begin with Oval.
What if I'm not satisfied with the course? +
We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, contact us within 14 days for a full refund — provided that no more than 30% of the course content has been viewed. Full details at vel.academy/refund.
Do I get a certificate upon completion? +
Yes. A certificate of completion from VEL Academy is issued after you finish all modules of any course. You can display it in your salon, add it to your professional portfolio, or share it with clients who ask about your qualifications.
Can I purchase individual courses or only the bundle? +
Both options are available. Individual courses start at $47.99. The Complete Bundle includes all 6 courses plus 2 exclusive bonus lessons (Manicure on Mature Hands and Express 34-Minute Manicure) for $311.99 — saving $99 compared to buying everything separately. The bonus lessons are not sold individually.
What equipment do I need? +
Each course includes a detailed equipment list. For most courses you need: an e-file machine with flame bit and carbide bits, cuticle scissors, nail files (100/180 grit), an orange wood stick, and gel products (base, builder/leveling gel, color, top coat, UV/LED lamp). Most professional nail techs already have this equipment.
