And is it compulsory to have a certificate of school ( Nail Art school) if i wanna open a Nail Art shop in Finland?

I have no idea to both your questions BUT.... I once had some work in the Graniittitalo building behind Kamppi (it might be Antinkatu 3 or thereabouts) and if I remember correctly there was some kind of a nail school in there. I remember they seemed to have special rates for customers. It might just have been regular manicure though. Not sure.

To get a proper answer, you could try going into a nail art shop and ask one of the people working there.

There is a place which calls itself the Finnish Nail Academy:

I'd suppose that this would go under "kauneudenhoitoalan perustutkinto"? (if you're looking for a vocational certificate in cosmetology, which might include specialisation in nails)

You might try and ask http://www.skyo.fi... also check out http://www.koulutuscenter.com/In_english.html...

But as penelope suggested, it could be a good idea to just contact the people working at the trade... if you've got the knack for it, perhaps you could do some training as an apprentice... I don't think you strictly speaking would "need" any certificates, it's not the same thing as working as a psychologist for example... but training would be important, of course, if you haven't got the basic skills yet.

Some cosmetological/manicure companies seem to advertise training as well ... see e.g. this one but, as you see, the info on the pages is mainly in Finnish.
