NZ Nail Academy and Vamp Nail is a New Zealand owned wholesale supplier of nail products and a training provider for nail technicians, based in Okere Falls, Rotorua. It is the New Zealand distributor for several professional nail brands, including Vamp Nail gel, which is made in New Zealand, and Korean gels from Kenzico and Ice Gel. Its gels are HEMA and TPO free, vegan and cruelty free, and the business says they last more than three weeks.
The courses cover theory, gel polish, gel extensions, BIAB and nail art. They run in person and online, with the online training done at each person's own pace. Shoppers can buy gel colours, builder gel, rubber base, soft gel tips, e-files, lamps, dust collectors and kits. One gel top coat is listed at $190.00 NZD as at 2026, down from $220.00. Customers who have bought from the store say the e-file is quiet and files well, and that a top coat stops chrome nails from chipping. Our pick in Rotorua for a nail technician looking for products and training in one place.
