Creating a work space at homeโ€ฆ
Okay, so, I have this front porch that Iโ€™m *really* wanting to create into a nail studio/workspace. HOWEVER, itโ€™s 3 season and so in Chicago and itโ€™s -30 F for weeks there may be problems. Or even before that. Iโ€™m also not sure if the light through the windows would cure the polish? Iโ€™m trying not to spend an arm and a leg but thoughts on weatherizing oneโ€™s workspace?? ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜…

What a beautiful little nook! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿฅน My first thought was concern about the windows, though ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™ˆ. Unfortunately, any direct sunlight and other UV rays will affect the gels โ˜น๏ธ. You can either chuck some curtains up, or if you can invest a wee bit more, get some window tinting (it doesn't have to be dark, just something that blocks UV rays ๐Ÿซถ - you could probably even get this online and try install it yourself if you're handy!) Colder temps will also affect the viscosity of your products (and at those temps I'm curious if it will even freeze some of them ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ˜†)

Nail health isnโ€™t just about making the nails look good.
I wanted to share this little IBX before โ†’ during โ†’ 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. โœจEnter IBXโœจ What I love about IBX is that itโ€™s not designed to just sit on top of the nail like a traditional product. Itโ€™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. Iโ€™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. ๐Ÿ‘‡

I only heard about IBX for the first time when I got here to NZ. I'm interested in learning more about it! If I'm not mistaken, there's an element of heating it up? ๐Ÿค”

GNDA
Show me your GNDA PIECES ! When I get mine back Iโ€™ll take photos and videos cameras do not do justice for screenshot. Iโ€™m excited to show you. I entered four categories. Did not place this year. I am okay with that because one day my day will come in my will be known but itโ€™s not just about getting a medal. Itโ€™s about entering doing something scary doing something new making new friends seeing old friends getting called discounts on nail products! Learning new skills learning new techniques just everything above! Congratulations to my Girly pops that placed or even entered this year and never been in the competition you should be proud of yourself regardless of the outcome entering a big competition is scary stressful but most importantly fun and so supportive!
