Manicurist Practical Exam 2023 By The Nail Academy 

For anyone in the state of KENTUCKY following this video: I wanted to let you know that this video will help you tremendously! I passed my exam this week using this video. I also wanted to let you know a few of the differences for our particular state. #1: we didn't have 2 tables, just the 1 you will be working on. #2: they ask that you bring DISPOSABLE absorbent towels to work on ( so not the washable hand towels she used unless you are going to dispose of them each time and have new ones for each part of the exam). #3: The biggest key factor to the acrylic kit is that your ODORLESS monomer is SEALED. #4: you are supposed to bring your own bottle of water for the manicure portion of the exam. I didn't know this, so I didn't bring any, but they told me to just go through the motions. So you can do either, it didn't hurt me, I still passed, but yeah, just a little FYI. #5: we didn't have a hook for our trash bag (you only need the one). I used a brown paper bag lined with a trash bag, and marked on the outside 'single use'.. so it would stand on its own, and it worked perfectly. I did however bring two bags just in case, but didn't use the second one since there was only 1 table. #6: you need to wear non white, solid colored scrubs, top and bottom, with no labels or identifying stitching. #7: you need to have 2 forms of ID and NO electronics of ANY kind (phones and smart watches need to be left in your vehicle). Everything else in this video was spot on for our state. Watch this and practice and you will do amazing!! Good Luck! **NOTE: I'm not an instructor or anyone of authority,, just someone who took the exam recently and passed, giving you MY experience. Use this information how you wish, but follow everything to the best of YOUR knowledge. I'm not responsible for your exam. I'm just trying to help with my experience.**

I passed with a 95 from watching this video. It was exactly what this video covered. I took the practical for Nashville, Tn.

thank you again for this video! I took my practical on Thursday and PASSED!! - I’m in Tennessee & took it at the Nashville location. One thing I’d like to say is if you take your practical in Nashville, use large gift bags lined with trash bags for your trash & soiled linens (you won’t be able to tape anything to the desk) They only have 1 command hook for you to put all your bags on so the gift bags make it easier bc they’ll be standing upright. Also, I had a ‘to be sanitized’ box that I used to put my implements in once I was done with them. Lastly, practice the nail form with gloves on bc I struggled with this part due to it sticking to my gloves so . I wish you all the best of luck 💕💕

Thank you SO much for this video! I passed my practical today because of God and you! You prepared me more than my actual institution! Thank you thank you thank you!

I PASSED IN TEXAS!!!! MAY 2, 2023!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO ❤

I some-what followed this video through and I got a 90 out of 70. the trash bag thing was too much ,so instead all I did was grab two paper bags from Publix and lined it with a clear trash bag inside. that's it !!! everything else is on point remember every step as shown on the video !!!! hope this help and good luck y'all !!!!

Hello everyone that are watching the video or have watched the video. I just wanted to hop on here to answer a few questions that Ive seen been asked by a few people in the comments. 1. First of my apologies, I meant this practical EXAM is universal not the license. Which means if you move to another state you will need to apply and do the application to get it switched to the state you moved to. You will NOT have to take the exams again because the exam was universal you just need to do the application. 2. Each state is slightly different, for example the testing site some has 2 tables some has 1. Some let you get water at the site some like you to have a container labeled water for the manicure portion. Some sites like the wipes some like for you to have a spray bottle labeled EPA disinfectant. You can use either one just clean slowly take your time. They don’t like it if your too fast at cleaning/ disinfecting. 3. You can take both exams at home on your laptop there is an option for that. For the theory I would recommend that if the testing site is too far for you since it’s on the computer anyway at the site. Although for the practical it’s best to take at the testing site because there will be other students taking it with you so you won’t be as nervous or scared. Plus the proctors are not watching just you.

I passed my exam today in Kentucky following this video! Thank you for your help!! This was way more guidance than my school ever gave me!

Do you have a video for the blood exposure part of the exam

Thanks So much !!! im passed . This video is alsome . 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

taking mine in 4 days! ill edit this comment if i pass❤

Hi 🙋🏻‍♀️me again. The acrilic kit that you use is allowed in the test? I mean in the board, I bought the same cuccio kit but in my school say it is not. They said only that they sell is allowed. At this point I don’t want to spend money in something innecesary. Thank you in advance for your help

Did they remove the red polish portion of the manicure for all states? Im in Alabama and im confused on that part

The Lysol wipes are acepted for cleaning in the test?

Im taking mine tomorrow in Nashville tn , I’m super nervous

Don’t you have to have a container labeled (to sanitize or dirty ) and put used tool in there?

I am taking my practical in South Carolina because they require national testing. I have been a nail tech in RI, FL since 2000; after being out of school for so long this is very helpful ~ thank you! Do you need to keep gloves on at all times and sanitize gloves now? Do you pretend to wash hands in between each portion?

Hello I loved your video, it was very informative of the requirements for nail practice exam. I graduated last year, but I’ve mustered up the courage to take the test this time, in Tennessee. I feel like I’ve missed out on a lot since I was last in school but the requirements I see are a bit different, like the nail wrap & blood spill portion of the test. Is it still required as part of the exam?

thank you so much for this video!! i’m taking my test in 2 days and this helps so much. do you have to keep the same gloves on the entire time?

So do we not have to use new towels for each portion???

Has anyone used this to pass the Georgia state board their is only 2 locations here Macon and Smyrna and I’ll be going to Smyrna one of the “difficult” locations so they say 😬😬 I am terrified 😭

a very informative video, thank you so much

Just a quick question we don't need the nail wrap, and blood exposure section any more?

Thanks for News 2022

Where do I go to take the National exam? I’m in California thanks ❤😊✨

Do we have to wear gloves?? I was never taught that. Thank you so much. My test is in 4 days.

Did the fake hand already came with the nail bed/ press on or did you put it on yourself? I was just wondering bc I have trouble putting tips on those plastic fake hands.

Quick question out of curiosity I thought it was illegal to cut cuticles in the state of Tennessee ?

For the tips of the nails did you use a hard gel or do you glue on tips? I'm in Wisconsin and don't know what way I should prep for going into my practical.

That’s for the hole exam or a part of exam?

Is this the same for Washington? I’m burly realizing everything is completely different since I graduated and haven’t done my state tests

Hello again👋🏽 I have a question about the practical exam, I’m going to schedule my practical exam this week & I noticed that there is an option to either schedule at a testing site or we can take the test online at home. I would like to know when taking the exam online is there any other requirements needed when testing at home?

Just curious. Is it still 600 hours? I love your video btw thanks so much for updating us!

I've never heard of any type of nail license that is good for all 50 states. Is it really true?

And also, where can I order the acrylic kit for exam? Or it can be any odorless unopened kit? Thank you

Are the glasses mandatory??

Does it matter the color of the towels

So does this video apply to Texas

So we don't need three towels in each bag

So do we have to perform a pedicure as well?

Do we wear gloves throughout the whole test

Hey! This was great! Does this apply to Georgia as well?

Does this test apply for Alabama?

thank you so much for this video. i take my practical portion in Nashville on 4/13 {super excited} I do have a question though. what size sterilization pouch do you use?

So we no longer paint the nails red?

Is this the same for Georgia?

Is this same for Kentucky?

Does this apply to Virginia as well?

So does this video apply to Virginia ?

i'm testing in Nashville in a few days and have questions. do we still have to do the blood exposure part? Do we have to label the bottles even if it already says what's in there? Are the Lysol wipes all i need for my EPA registered disinfectant? Does the acrylic have to be clear? ~ thanks !! (:

So are we required to polish the nail?

Would that be the same in Idaho?

This is the same for Wisconsin??

Can we put everything in the big trash bag

Is this the same in Arizona? Cuz I'm hearing conflicting stories about our practical exam... that it's now an online test...
