Welcome! I’m Jessette Phillips, the woman behind Nails by Jessette Academy.💅🏾

I’m a Licensed Nail Technician, entrepreneur, author, and educator with a passion for helping others build confidence in their nail skills through clear, practical, step-by-step education.

My journey in the nail industry has taught me that learning a new technique can sometimes feel overwhelming—especially when you’re trying to figure everything out on your own. That inspired me to create educational resources that break the process down into easy-to-understand steps that you can learn from, practice, and refer back to whenever you need them.

I created my Step-by-Step Gel-X Application Tutorial with the beginner and developing nail technician in mind. My goal is not only to show you how to apply Gel-X, but to help you understand the importance of proper preparation, product knowledge, application, finishing, removal, aftercare, and professionalism.

Nails by Jessette Academy is about more than creating beautiful nails. It’s about education, confidence, technique, and growth.

Whether you’re just beginning your nail journey, adding Gel-X to your services, or looking for additional resources to strengthen your skills, I’m excited to be a part of your journey.

Learn. Create. Perfect. 💗
