Helping Nail Technicians Master Retention, Structure & Professional Nail Systems
I’m Magda Gniewek - nail educator, salon professional, and the face behind Magnetic Nails UK.
I help nail technicians create long-lasting, structured nails with confidence, using professional systems that work in real salon conditions. My focus is simple: better retention, better technique, and results you can rely on.
Whether you are just starting out or already qualified but struggling with lifting, inconsistency, or product overwhelm - you’re in the right place.
My approach to nails
For me, nails have never been about trends alone.
They are a professional service built on:
- preparation
- structure
- product knowledge
- consistency
Over the years, working with the salon and with students, I’ve seen the same issues again and again , lifting, poor retention, lack of structure, and confusion around products.
That’s why my approach is focused on clarity.
No guesswork. No shortcuts. Just understanding what works and why.
What I specialise in
My work is focused on helping nail technicians improve their results through:
- nail retention and eliminating lifting
- hard gel systems
- builder gel (BIAB) application
- structured manicures
- upper forms and salon shapes
- natural nail strengthening
- correct product application and control
- improving speed and efficiency in salon work
- salon management and business development
I don’t just teach techniques - I teach decision-making: what to use, when to use it, and how to adapt it to each client.
From salon experience to education
Everything I teach comes from real salon work.
This isn’t theory. It’s experience , tested on real clients, different nail types, and real challenges nail techs face every day.
I understand the pressure of:
- clients coming back with lifting
- spending too long on treatments
- not trusting your products
- feeling stuck despite being trained
And I also know how to fix it.
That’s what my training, content, and product recommendations are built around.
