About

Meet Nina Georgi

Nail educator · Beauty business mentor · Entrepreneur

I have worked in nails since 2017 and specialise in precision Russian manicure, flawless cuticle work and natural nude finishes tailored to each client.

Over eight years I turned an abandoned space in Germasogeia into NG Dollhouse, a beauty and lifestyle members' club, so I also teach what most courses leave out: pricing, clients and a sustainable working day.

I teach the way I wanted to be taught: clear standards, honest feedback and plenty of supervised practice, so you leave able to work, not just to watch.
