Reviews

I had a fantastic time getting taught by Nicola, we had a very intense but fun 2 day training I am so excited to get started. Nicola is very knowledgeable and is on hand even after training for tips and advice. Highly recommend anyone that is looking to starting their own builder gel business. I also used to have my BIAB done by Nicola a few years ago but I moved out of the area. Never ever did I have an issue with mine hence the reason when I see she was now teaching she was the one I picked! Thanks again Nicola.

Had a great days training!! Nicola is a great educator, she puts you at ease, encouraged me to use the skills I had and gave me lots of confidence. She will tailor the training to your learning style which I appreciated. My prep work is now much better and can only improve with practice the same with my builder application. Can’t recommend Polish me Pretty enough !!! 😊😊
