Where it began

From two jobs
to my own business.

I always wanted to build a business of my own. I just hadn’t found the path that would take me there.

My background was in fitness, where I loved helping people work towards their goals. In 2020, I was working two jobs when COVID put me on furlough. For the first time, I had the space to explore my passion for beauty. What began as an interest in nails became an opportunity: something I could build for myself.

I started with no experience and charged £30 a set. Through practice, learning and building relationships with my clients, my calendar filled. At my busiest, I was working with around 120 clients a month. The business I had once only imagined allowed me to leave both jobs and make nails my career.

I kept investing in my education, completing more than 70 professional courses. As my skills developed, so did the value of my work, from those first £30 appointments to sets priced at £150 and above. That growth came from improving my technique, raising my standards and learning to value what I brought to each appointment. In 2023, I won Booksy’s Best Classic Manicure award.

In 2024, I began educating nail technicians and returned to the part of my work I had always loved: helping others build their confidence and their careers. Students have travelled to train with me from Europe, the USA, Australia and Asia. I started teaching on Zoom to connect with artists I couldn’t meet in person, bringing personal guidance into their own workspaces.

My work has opened doors I once couldn’t have imagined. I’ve partnered with brands to create paid content and had my work featured internationally in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, ELLE, Glamour and Cosmopolitan. I’ve travelled internationally to teach, worked with groups of 20–60 people at events and spoken about business mindset alongside practical nail education.

Starting from zero taught me that your starting point doesn’t define what you can build. That belief shapes how I teach today. I want to help you see the possibilities for your own career, develop the skills to pursue them and believe that your goals deserve to be taken seriously.

How I teach

Understand the detail.
Develop your confidence.

My teaching is shaped around your experience, your questions and the skills you want to develop. I want you to understand your decisions as clearly as the technique itself.

  • Personal attention

    Private 1:1 training gives us time to focus on your work, with individual guidance and corrections as you practise.

  • Technique with purpose

    Learn to assess the nail and cuticle, choose suitable tools and products, and work with precision, comfort and safety in mind.

  • A standard you can build on

    Develop a considered approach to your craft and the confidence to keep refining it. Support after the course via email or Instagram DM.

Beyond the studio

Teaching internationally.
Working with the industry.

From individual artists to groups, events and brands, my work takes different forms.

  • Kinetics brand educator

    I’m a Kinetics brand educator, bringing my experience in nail technique and practical education to my work with the brand.

  • Group education & speaking

    I’ve taught groups and spoken at events for The Nail Dates, The Nail Lab and Nail Masters, sharing my techniques and perspective with nail professionals.

  • Teaching at international venues

    Alongside welcoming students to London, I’ve flown internationally to teach at other venues and work with artists in their own learning spaces.

  • Content created with brands

    I work with brands to create nail content, from product photographs and carousels to short reels and edited process videos showing my work using their products.

What I believe

“I want to show you that no matter where you’re starting from, your dream career is completely within reach.”

Natalia Bulat

My mission is to raise nail education standards and help artists see what is possible for their careers. Progress takes practice, persistence and a willingness to keep learning. I’m here to guide you through that work.
