Professional Grade. Canadian Born. Student Priced.
I’ve partnered with Canada’s own Ugly Duckling Nails Inc. to curate two exclusive Vixxen Gel Nail Academy kits - with a killer student discount.
I don't believe in learning with cheap products that you’ll just have to replace the moment you turn pro. That’s why the Vixxen Gel Nail Academy has partnered exclusively with Ugly Duckling Nails Inc. — the gold standard in the Canadian nail industry.
With 65 years of experience, exceptional chemistry, world-class pigment, and legendary viscosity, Ugly Duckling is the brand found on the desks of the world’s top technicians (and the brand I use in all of my tutorials). By using the same system the pros use from day one, you eliminate the product guesswork and can focus entirely on mastering your technique.
The best part? Because you are a Vixxen student, you don't pay retail. Save 16% to 26% off standard salon pricing.
To purchase your student kit, simply select the version you'd wish to purchase when enrolling in your chosen nail education course.

Student kit shipping is included in the price. The only added cost is GST.
For shipping within Canada, you can expect your kit to arrive within 7-14 days. However, Ugly Duckling shipping is usually on the faster side!
Because I do not ship chemical cleaners and want to keep our student costs as low as possible, the only required items you may need to purchase are:
- Cuticle nippers
- Full cover tips (if completing Gel-X style training)
- Cuticle pusher (or orange wood sticks)
- Barbicide, TRU, or another similar disinfecting product
Most of these products are available on Amazon for under $10 CAD and I do supply links to purchase after enrollment. You are also welcome to use any supplies you already have on hand.
You must be a student of the Vixxen Gel Nail Academy in order to purchase a student kit. If you are already a student, did not opt in to purchase a kit and have changed your mind, you can still purchase kit after enrollment by contacting Vixxen through: [email protected]
Student kits are not a requirement of enrollment. You can complete any of the Vixxen Gel Nail courses with products you already have on hand. However, to get the most out of the courses it is highly recommended that you use professional grade products. Purchasing a kit through Vixxen will ensure you have access too top quality professional products - the same products used in all of the tutorial videos - at a significantly discounted rate.
