COLOR THEORY FOUNDATION by COLORTECH™ | ENGLISH ACCESS

COLOR THEORY FOUNDATION by COLORTECH™ is a self-paced online color theory program for nail technicians who want to understand color more clearly and make more confident recommendations. Created and taught by Michi C. Brink, founder of Fantasy Nails, it connects color theory to the choices you make at the nail table.

A nude can look perfect in the bottle and turn gray on the hand. A client asks which red you recommend, and choosing one can feel like guesswork. COLORTECH™ gives you a more considered way to observe color, understand what you are seeing, and explain your recommendation with intention.

We’re building a new standard for professional nail color consultation. The COLORTECH™ gel lacquer range uses warm and cool classifications to make shade temperature easier to identify. The learning principles can also be applied with products from other brands.

What you’ll learn

• Read skin depth and undertone by considering several observations together.
• Identify warm and cool qualities in color and understand how colors relate.
• Choose when to create harmony and when contrast can bring a result into balance.
• Consider the natural nail bed when working with translucent and French shades.
• Place and blend color in ombré, baby boomer, and gradient designs.
• Use complementary, analogous, and triadic color relationships in nail art.
• Explain a color recommendation clearly and confidently.
