Our winners are @Dixie Speer @Barbara Gregory @Deidra Day Butma ❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I chose 3! Your mystery prizes are coming! 🎁 There were so many incredible entries. I love how each artist really made it their own and played with the color, especially! To everyone who entered: thank you for practicing, creating, and putting your work out there. I’m so proud of this community. ❤️ Next up: GLOW. Your turn to shine! ✨ Congratulation to our winners and make sure you enter our October contest!

Today I’m in the warehouse. I wanted to give you a heads up because it’s happening live online as I work… I am going through all of our cream gel polish colors and putting those that we are liquidating on clearance. There are some great colors here. If you don’t have a lot of gel, polishes ours are 15 mL pro size, highly pigmented and hema free. It’s filling up right here: https://www.wildflowersnailshop.com/collections/clearance

I have been sitting here reading your comments about how much TIME you put into these nails. 30 minutes. 45 minutes. FOUR HOURS. “A few days because I kept going back to it.” 😂 (13 hours total) And I realized something. I am not comfortable with only one person being rewarded for this. You practiced. You experimented. You stayed late. You painted on yourself. You painted tips. You tried things you hadn’t tried before. Some of you photographed your work differently because of what you learned here. That time matters. So before I even choose the prize winner: EVERY PERSON WHO OFFICIALLY COMPLETED THE SPIDERS IN THE PUMPKIN PATCH CHALLENGE IS GETTING ONE FREE MONTH OF PAID NAIL SKOOL. All of you. ❤️ The mystery-box winner and some other fun things I’m cooking up are ON TOP OF THAT. Because this isn’t supposed to be a lottery where one person wins and everybody else goes home. You did the work. You get rewarded for doing the work. And OMG keep telling me how many hours you spent because I am calculating the collective amount of creative labor that went into this challenge and the number is already getting ridiculous. 😂 More coming. 👀

(omg hehehe I cussed in a HEADLINE lol not sorry) The SPIDERS IN THE PUMPKIN PATCH challenge is officially CLOSED, and I need you to understand something: YOU SHOWED UP. Like… REALLY showed up. 😭 I have been watching these entries come in and there are SO MANY of you who took the theme, interpreted it in your own completely different way, practiced something new, pushed yourselves creatively, and actually PUT YOUR WORK OUT THERE. And THAT is what this challenge was really about. I do not want to casually toss a winner into the feed and move on. We are making a BIG DEAL out of this. I need the whole weekend to absorb it all. I'm going to put it on my TV in my house and admire it all like an art gallery! I'll share what I create! I think I'll cry thinking about all of the beautiful energy that went into creating these, and then where that deposit into yourself and your artistry will take you in the future. It really is exciting to think about the possibilities. In the meantime: IF YOU ENTERED, COMMENT BELOW AND SAY “I DID IT.” Or you can drop your favorite cuss word, OMG just kidding. I want to see exactly how many of you participated because this challenge absolutely blew me away. And if this was your first Nail Skool challenge? (or challenge with me) I hope you realize you just became part of something we are going to do again and again and again. 🥹🕷️🎃 You made Nail Skool feel like a real freaking SKOOL this month. Thank you for playing with me. ❤️

If your price menu was built by looking at what the nail tech down the street charges and going, “uhhh… I guess this seems right?” 😂 this is for you. 💅🏽 For $249**, I’ll personally review your current service menu and look for: • where you may be undercharging • confusing services or pricing • missing add-ons and upgrade opportunities • ways to simplify your menu • places you could be making more money without just randomly raising prices Then I’ll give you specific feedback on what I would change AND why. This is not a giant business coaching program or another course you have to finish. You send me what you’re currently working with, I put my eyes on it, and I tell you what I see. PRICE MENU REVIEW: $249** https://www.skool.com/nailskool/classroom/9600eb4e If you’ve been staring at your price menu knowing something feels off but you can’t figure out WHAT, send it to me. __________________________________________________________________ **LAUREN’S DISCLAIMER 😂 And ALSO, you should know this about me: I FUCKING LOVE MATH AND BUSINESS. I said the F word because I am apparently trying to overpower my entire ARTWORK AND PERSONA in this industry. 😂 My mom’s art genes are STRONG, but somehow my dad’s business genes are just a liiiiittle stronger. Except my mom was also an accountant - untangle that genetic pretzel. HAHAHA. To get to the point - this is FUN for me. And we are NOT just going to look at your menu and go: “Cool. Raise your prices. GOOD LUCK!” Absolutely not. 😂 I know changing your prices can set off every little WHAT IF THEY LEAVE ME alarm in your nervous system. You made a safe little world where you make people happy and they make you happy. Well… except maybe that one client. Or two. LOL. I can fix that too. Muuuuahahahaha. It’s actually easier than you think. 😂 But seriously: It’s SAFE there. Why would you want to change something that feels so safe? Welllllll… I’m guessing your bank account is starting to tell you why.
