We, at The Nail Institute, have joined NSI recently to provide training and products.

For more than 40 years, NSI has been at the forefront of researching, developing and manufacturing innovative products with cutting edge ideas for the professional nail care industry. We’ve built a tradition on creating breakthrough products that nail technicians choose to use.

JUST LOOK AT OUR HISTORY…

Since 1957, NSI has been a family owned and operated manufacturer of high quality monomers, polymers and other enhancement products for the professional nail industry.As early developers, inventors and chemists, NSI pioneered and developed the first non-yellowing, cross-linked formulations used in all traditional acrylic systems today.

As pioneers, NSI was the first to introduce fibreglass-reinforced polymers, light-activated liquid and powder acrylic, UV-cured gels, as well as air and heat-activated polish sealants. Our chemists continually meet the demands for innovative products.

Fred Slack III, along with his sons Rick and Kirby, along with an international team of field testers have been instrumental in the development of numerous NSI products. The company owns the patent on Elation and French Fin Nail Tips which utilizes Poly Flex TM; a unique material that far exceeds the limits for tip performance.

In going the extra mile for quality control, NSI requires batch and tracking numbers on all products. If a nail technician does experience a problem, it can be quickly identified and solved.

Mandatory inspection of manufacturing procedures plus many levels of quality control ensure that all NSI products maintain consistency from batch to batch.

NSI has been exclusively sold to Dream Nails franchisee's for more than 16 years.Since 1998 it is being sold to independent salon owners and technicians.

With its up to date innovative product line and latest technology in training, it is known as a leading brand in South Africa.

For the past 10 years NSI Africa technicians have been in the top 5 in nail competitions, often taking 1st, 2nd or 3rd place.

NSI currently has 6 depots and training academies around the country.
