Welcome to The Manifest Academy ​

Visualise. Learn. Manifest

The Manifest Academy is where we empower aspiring nail technicians with expert-led training, hands-on experience, and give them the confidence to turn their creativity and dreams into a thriving career.

About Us

At The Manifest Academy, we know what it feels like to dream of a career in nails and wonder if it’s really possible. Our founder, Charley Murphy, has been there. Starting out during lockdown with nothing but passion, determination, and a vision for something more. What began as a personal journey has grown into a supportive space where aspiring nail technicians can learn, grow, and believe in themselves. With accredited training, guidance that goes beyond the classroom, and a community that truly cares, we’re here to help you turn your passion into a career you love. You don’t have to do it alone—we’ll be with you every step of the way.
