Nailympia Div 4 champion 2021 launches online learning option

Champion nail tech and artist, Olena Oezman has launched an online nail academy. Utilising her time efficiently during the pandemic, Olena focused on creating a portal of nail education, in order to further her reach as an international nail tutor and trainer.

And the timing is excellent, since taking part in the first edition of Nailympia Online, Olena was presented at its awards ceremony on 15 March 2021 1x gold, 2 x silver and 1 x bronze medals as well as they Division 4 VIP 5-Shape Challenge trophy.

Acting as mentor and teacher to multi-award winning UK medalist and nail artist, Mino Vo, Olena is cited as a great beacon of knowledge and inspiration. Talking after his success winning three of the eight Nailympia Online trophies, Mino says, “When competing, it’s not just about who is the best in structure or the best in art. You need to read the rules, this is your best friend. For you to be successful there are many points to consider and a big area you need to focus on the cleanliness of your work, your surface and cuticles.” Mino then goes on to share his success comes a direct result of what he learned on Olena’s course. “I took the Olena Özman combined manicure online class and can honestly say, I can now make clean cuticles confidently. This course covers every single thing you can imagine. Every skin type, every tool. And the quality I can promise you is the best.”

Showcasing an image of  his nail work, Mino reveals, “This picture has not had a single edit or any photoshop work done, I didn’t even change any light settings. It is purely a manicure born from skills learned on Olena’s class.”
Currently there is a code on offer if signing up for Olena’s classes – use the word – MINO for an extra 10% off.
After 14 years working as a nail professional Olena decided it was time to pass on her experience and nail knowledge. Creating a website for nail education, Olena promises structured learning with videos that will not only dramatically elevate your nail skills, abut also provide a clear understanding, afford a new freedom, raise self-confidence, the respect you are shown and ultimately widen your choices in the field of nails.
Olena cites her success is down to, “My secret to success is hard work, continuous learning, my passion for nails and always doing the best I can.” Olena advocates pushing oneself and coming our of your comfort zone to take on the challenges that appear – reflecting that only by doing this can one step up their game. And, by golly, the results speak for themselves since not only is Olena successfully reaping the rewards through winning medals and trophies, but her students are also taking centre stage.

Meet The hosts…

Karen Dunn

Karen, born and raised in Saskatchewan, Canada, is a certified nail professional who also works as a high school maths teacher. For Karen, grooming nails satisfies a creative need in her life as well as a deep rooted need to keep furthering her education and learning, which has led to her offering classes across Canada and the USA. The opportunity to travel has led her to meet and work with many mentors in the nail industry, each time, gaining more insight and invaluable knowledge of the nail industry. More recently, Karen caught the competition bug, which quickly became a passion. She’s competed in various categories at numerous competitions and harnessed a special affection for 3D fantasy art.

Karen continues to compete as often as possible while also now bringing a prestigious competition brand to Canada. Karen is passionate about all things nails and is ready and willing to discuss nails over a good cup of coffee with all that are likeminded!

Aigul Fritzke

ABOUT US – NAILYMPIA

Nailympia is considered one of the leading and most prestigious professional nail competitions in the world today. It prides itself on being a non-biased forum where products and brands have no bearing on the placing of a competitor. This competition brand is all about skill and creativity. All skill levels are catered for – the judging system, which has evolved over time, holds true to its original concept of all competitions are judged blind – the judge has no idea who’s work they are assessing and all divisions are judged together in the same manner. The judges have no idea which division or competitor they are assessing. This keeps the system fair and even. It also means a Division 1 competitor can win with a higher score than seen in the above divisions – again showcasing that the skills and creativity are assessed on their own merit.
