I'm so proud of these lol they're so fun i'm also not the fastest when it comes to art but my clients know it's worth the wair

Oh em gee 😭 I was going through an old external hard drive and found some of my sets from YEARS ago! It was actually so cool to come across because you can see the different names I've traded under before eventually settling on the one I loved most. It was a nice little reminder of how much can change over time. So if you’re a beginner and you’re looking at your work thinking “I’ll never be as good as everyone else” - keep going. Your sets will change. Your style will change. Your photography will change. Your branding might change. You might even completely rebrand 😂 You’re not supposed to have it all figured out yet. Keep going. Keep learning. Keep experimenting. You’re building something. 🫶

I wanted to share this little IBX before → during → after because I think the photos really show what this treatment is about. This thumb had some pretty obvious damage, and rather than just covering it up and carrying on, I wanted to focus on the condition of the natural nail underneath. ✨Enter IBX✨ What I love about IBX is that it’s not designed to just sit on top of the nail like a traditional product. It’s a treatment system designed to work within the natural nail, helping to reinforce and protect it from the inside out. Sometimes nail health means taking a step back, changing the service, reducing length, or giving the natural nail some extra attention before we worry about making it look pretty again. Press play to see the before, during and after. I’d love to know how other techs approach compromised or damaged nails. Do you use IBX? Do you treat, remove product completely, reduce length, change the service, or a combination? Always interested to hear what everyone else is doing. 👇

Here is the recording for the live done today by the amazing @Celine Hays 🥳 It's super pretty! I highly recommend checking it out and giving it a go 😍
