Tired of hearing this at every appointment?
“What color should I get?”
We hear you. Michi's method gives you a clear way to read the skin in front of you, choose the shade and explain why, so you always have an answer your client trusts.
The moments nobody talks about.
- The momentShe shows you a photo, and the color never looks the same on her hand.
- What's actually happeningThere's a reason, and you can see it before you apply the color.
- The momentA nude that looked perfect in the bottle turns dull on her skin.
- What's actually happeningThe nude didn't change. There's a reason, and you can predict it.
- The momentShe says “you choose,” and the whole color wall goes quiet.
- What's actually happeningIt isn't indecision. She's asking for expertise she can't name.
- The momentThe trend shade is beautiful on one client and tired on the next.
- What's actually happeningA trend is a starting point. The recommendation is your work.
- The momentA gradient turns muddy, and you can't say exactly why.
- What's actually happeningIt isn't your technique. There's a reason, and it can be predicted before you start.
- The momentA nail art palette feels slightly off, even though each color is lovely.
- What's actually happeningIt isn't your taste. Colors work together for a reason, and that reason can be learned.
The Color Check · A free 2-minute quiz
How well do you know color next to skin?
Ten quick questions about the color decisions you make at the table every day.
It's a quiz, not a test. There's no score: at the end you'll see where each answer is taught.
When you finish, you'll see your color-use profile and, if you'd like, receive short emails from me. I'll send you one a day, six in total, to help you move from your color-use profile to my consultation method.

Your color-use profile
The Intuitive Eye
You see when a color works. Clients trust your taste, and most of the time you're right.
When it doesn't work, it's hard to say why, and harder to explain it to her. Intuition finds the right shade; knowing why finds it every time, and lets you say it out loud.
Your five answers
Your color-use profile is on its way to your inbox. It's the first of my emails: I'll send you one a day.
Every answer in this check has a reason, and that reason is what I teach in COLOR THEORY FOUNDATION by COLORTECH™.

The Technical Eye
Your application is precise, and your clients come back for the quality of your work.
Color is often decided by the trend or by her photo, and that's where your expertise stops being visible. The next level of your craft isn't technique. It's how you choose.

The Emerging Eye
You're early in your journey, and that's the best moment to learn color properly, before habits set in.
In nails, most color choices are driven by trend or personal preference. You can learn the why from the start.

A method built on how Michi has always taught.
LEARN · TEACH · SELL is the framework Michi uses to train professionals. In COLORTECH™ it becomes ANALYZE · GUIDE · RECOMMEND: the same thinking, applied to the color table. At your table, those three pillars become a five-step consultation: ANALYZE, COMPARE, LISTEN, GUIDE and RECOMMEND.
- 01 LEARN · TEACH · SELLMichi's framework for training professionals
- 02 ANALYZE · GUIDE · RECOMMENDThe three COLORTECH™ pillars, at the color table
- 03 ANALYZE · COMPARE · LISTEN · GUIDE · RECOMMENDThe five-step consultation with your client
LEARN becomes ANALYZE: read the skin, compare shades on the hand.
TEACH becomes GUIDE: translate what she wants, choose harmony or balance.
SELL becomes RECOMMEND: explain your choice in one clear sentence.

What our students say.
-
“I’ve been a makeup artist and nail technician for more than 10 years, and I thought I knew a lot about color. This course showed me everything I was missing: the foundation. I’m blown away. Michi, you’re amazing!”
Isabel LópezCOLOR THEORY FOUNDATION student · Spain -
“My clients were immediately interested about knowing the colors that flatter their skin tone. Several months after the certification and first color analyses some clients still ask for the colors that match best with their skin tone and they trust that I can pick the right shades for them.”
Kaisa HaapaniemiCertified COLORTECH™ PRO · Finland
Your service stops being a color choice. It becomes a consultation.
The question changes from “what colors do you have?” to “what do you recommend for me?”
- Read a client's skin depth and undertone with confidence.
- Recognize whether any shade is warm or cool, even the most difficult ones to read.
- Know when to create harmony and when to balance, so color flatters her hands.
- Predict how translucent and French shades will look on each client, and adjust them with confidence.
- Learn to place each color in the right place in ombré, baby boomer and gradient designs.
- Create complementary, analogous and triadic nail art with intention.
- Explain every recommendation with confidence.
Everything inside.
- Three core modules with Michi (ANALYZE · GUIDE · RECOMMEND, LEARN · TEACH · SELL, and the COLORTECH™ SYSTEM): 36 lessons and about 6 hours of video, from the color wheel to color psychology, with demonstrations on tips and on the hand.

- Plus the LEARN · TEACH · SELL webinar: a separate 30-minute session with Michi.

Michi's welcome lesson
Choose for the hand, not the bottle.
Learn it anywhere. The theory applies to any brand.
The program is 100% online and teaches color theory, not a product. The theory applies whichever brand you work with today. Wherever you work, you can start this week.
“But how do I know if a color's undertone is warm or cool?”
That's where the COLORTECH™ system takes over. Every COLORTECH™ gel lacquer is labeled W (warm undertone) or C (cool undertone), so part of the reading is already done for you. And the same thinking now runs across the Fantasy Nails ecosystem.
Thought through to the label. COLORTECH™ isn't only a way of teaching. Every label shows whether the color's undertone is warm or cool, its collection name, and a number that places it in its color group, from #000 to #100. Read the label and you already know where each color belongs.
The theory is universal. For your products, we recommend keeping one system from base to top within each service, because bases, colors and tops are formulated to work together. When you're ready for a system built around what you've learned, this is ours:
| Line | What it is | How the system shows up |
|---|---|---|
| COLORTECH™ | Gel lacquer | W / C undertone on every color, collection name, color-group number |
| BASELAB™ | Reinforcing bases | W / C undertone on every color |
| PROFORM™ | Builder gel | W / C undertone on every color |
| FUSION™ | Acrygel | W / C undertone on every color |
| ACRYLICS | Acrylic powders | Coming soon Being developed into the COLORTECH™ system |
One system, from the base to the final color.
From the color wheel to your client's hand.
| A general color theory course | COLOR THEORY FOUNDATION by COLORTECH™ | |
|---|---|---|
| Starts from | The color wheel | The client's skin, then the wheel |
| Warm and cool | Explained on paper | Read on the hand, with a method you repeat with every client |
| The client consultation | Not covered | You learn to build the consultation with your client, step by step: analyze, compare, listen, guide and recommend |
| Your salon | Theory only | Demonstrations on tips and on the hand, to use with your clients |
| When you finish | A certificate of attendance | Your Diploma of Completion, and a method you use from your next client |
For nail professionals who demand rigor in color, at every stage of their career.
| This is for you if | This is not for you if |
|---|---|
| you're starting out and want to understand color properly from day one | you're looking for an application or technique course: this is about color |
| you already have the technique and want color to become your expertise | you're looking for tools or product kits: here you learn the method |
| clients say “you choose” and you want a real answer | you want a list of trending shades to copy |
| you want your service to feel personal and premium | you're looking for a product tutorial: this program teaches color theory |

FAQ
Do I get something when I finish?
Yes. When you complete 100% of the program, you receive your COLOR THEORY FOUNDATION by COLORTECH™ Diploma of Completion. And if you later want to offer the COLORTECH™ consultation as a certified service in your salon, the last lesson shows you how.
Do I need Fantasy Nails products?
No. For the color consultation you're judging the color itself, so the theory works with any gel lacquer or nail system. The part that takes practice is telling a warm undertone from a cool one by eye. That's the problem COLORTECH™ already solves: every color shows its undertone classification on the label, W (warm) or C (cool), so the reading is done for you.
I'm experienced. Will I learn something new?
The consultation lessons are built for professionals who already have the technique and want the reasoning behind every color choice.
I'm not a natural with color. Is this for me?
Yes. The program is built on the idea that seeing color is trained, not born.
I'm just starting out. Is it too early?
No. This program is about color, not technique, so it's the ideal foundation to build from the start. You'll learn to choose and recommend color with intention before bad habits set in.
Is it only theory?
No. It includes demonstrations on tips and on the hand, so you can use it from your next client. It is an online program: you learn the method, and it does not include salon tools or product kits.
Will the program change over time?
It may receive occasional updates or new resources, with no fixed schedule. If we add anything, students get it at no extra cost and hear about it first, by email.
How do I get access?
After purchase you'll receive an email with your login to the Fantasy Nails Education platform, and you can start straight away. As this is digital content with immediate access, the 14-day withdrawal period does not apply. If you have any technical problem getting in, we'll fix it.
Can I take it from outside Spain?
Yes. The program is 100% online and available worldwide, in English or Spanish.
Picture your next appointment
On your next service, your client will ask you: “What do you recommend for me?”
This time, you'll know. You'll guide her with confidence, choose the shade that flatters her and explain exactly why it's the one for her.
