A. Never do a French tip again OR B. Never do nail art again

Here is the recording for the nail roulette - You Pick, I Paint ✨ Didn't quite finish it, but I might tomorrow if anyone wants to jump in again? Just let me know if anyone's keen x

Hi wonderful people I’m so sorry I’ve been so quiet. I have been taking a break because I’ve had lots going on and only very slowly just starting to get back into things. Now I have a question and it is to do with contact dermatitis, roughly 6 to 7 months ago I had a little bit of a breakout which I thought it was due to some nail oil that I’ve used and I probably think it was expired or something, but it happened Instantaneously like it happened the night of that it started to break out really bad, but now it happened again. This time I’ve used completely different products however the kicker is I’ve had my nails on for almost 3 weeks now and I haven’t had any issues any breakouts no lumps no bumps no itchiness so I’m just wondering can you still get a reaction even though you’ve had them on for just under three weeks if you need clarity or anything to help problems solve please let me know. I will be grateful for any advice that I can get! The only thing I think it could be which this is a longshot. I was doing my partner’s nails the other night and I had this little jar of acetones like a little glass jar and I was washing my brushes in it now I’ve gone to rinse it, but I haven’t had a chance to wash it yet. I’m thinking I’ve washed my hands one night whilst it’s been in the sink because it’s had like a little bit of water and still gel stuck inside the glass and I’m thinking potentially I could’ve dipped my hand in the water which the gel is on the glass of the container and I’ve washed it and hence that’s gotten a reaction, but I’m not 100% sure it could be that.

Just a little nudge from a fellow member. 😊 I saw the recent Instagram post asking which nail techs we'd love to have come into the community and teach, and honestly, I'd love to see us all get behind it. The reason I joined this community was to keep learning and level up my skills, so the more amazing educators and artists we can attract here, the more we all benefit. 👏🤗 If you haven't already, jump over to the post, tag your favourite nail artists, and have a scroll through the comments. I've even been replying to a few of the suggested artists trying to convince them to come teach us because I know I'd get so much out of it! 😂 The more engagement the post gets, the more likely these incredible techs are to notice it and want to be involved. So go show it some love! We all joined to learn and grow, so let's see what we can make happen together. 💅💕 P.S. If you didn't already know, we also have an Instagram page! Nicky regularly shares community members' work over there, which is such a great way to get more eyes on your business and page! Definitely go give it a follow and check out the content—you might even spot some familiar faces and gorgeous sets from our community!

Yay! Yay! Okay so… I'm going to be completely transparent with you guys 😂 I tried a nail art challenge last month, and I think it's safe to say it wasn't exactly everyone's cup of tea 🫖😅 — and that is totally okay! I would so much rather try things and find out than never try at all 🌻 SO. New month, new idea 💛 I recently did a live where I was painting a set of press-ons and let the people watching choose some of the elements and it was SO much fun 😍 Like genuinely one of my favourite things I've done in here so far. So I want to do it properly this time 🎨💅 The idea: a monthly live "roulette" where YOU guys are basically my creative directors 😂 You hop on, drop a suggestion (something like "blue ombré" or "cow print"), and I'll throw it into the set. No plan or rules, just vibes and whatever chaotic, beautiful thing we come up with together 🤌 The first one is scheduled for Monday the 8th at 9am NZT 🌻 It'll run for a few hours, so there's no pressure to be there right on time - jump in whenever and have your say 🫶 To get us started, I'm going to drop a few comments below - please respond with your first suggestions so I know where to begin! Even just one idea from you makes such a difference 💛 Let's see what we create 😆🌻
