Press-On Workshop is now in the Classroom 🥳
Looking for a bit of help with the quality and finish of your press-ons? There’s now a Press-On Workshop available in the Classroom - a 5-module course that walks you through everything from Tip Prep & Shaping to Packaging & Presentation 🫶 Okay, disclaimer - right now, only Module 1 (Tip Prep & Shaping) is live. BUT new modules will be uploaded every Monday and Friday until all five are there (sorry, ya girl’s busy 😅). Once they’re all up, the entire course will stay available forever, so you can revisit it anytime you need a refresher. The only catch? You’ll need to be a Level 5 member of The Nail Tech Corner to access it. Don’t stress - you’ll get there fast just by engaging, commenting, and being part of the convo here 💬✨ Now go peek inside the Classroom and get those press-ons looking chef’s kiss 👩‍🎨💋

Filing Isn’t Failure 💛
If your apex looks uneven after application, refining it with a file is completely normal. Many techs purposely apply a little extra, knowing they’ll file it into the perfect shape. Application and filing work together - it’s part of the process, not a mistake.

I've heard that some people apply their product like they don't own a file. Is this common? Obviously good application come with time but how attainable is it? Surely your still need to file right?
Swatching Iridescent + Chrome powders
Hey y’all I’m in the process of swatching some new powders that I got. I’m just wondering is there a colour difference with the chrome powders if it’s on a white base versus a black base? I know that it might be best to do the iridescent on a black base depending on what it is, but I’ve got a chameleon powders which I’ve never used before just wondering what everyone’s opinion is on what base colour I should use?

I swatches then all in about 4-5 hrs. Got in a production line type pattern and had a good flow. And also don't wanna get covered in clotter and chrome like that again and ruin another nail set. Yes gloves are a thing but the swatch dots are a little fiddly 😅. Stickering and booking them and adding to my digital catalogue a different story. But much faster than swatching.

@Gracie De Ridder yeah I now have enough of all that it doesn't matter. If it's a safe surface I scoop it and it goes into my mystery chrome concoction 😂 😂
5 psychological triggers that make your content irresistible 🧠
Your clients are scrolling for one thing: a hit to their brain’s secret buttons. Here are 5 triggers you should be weaving into your posts: Trigger #1 – Fear of Missing Out ✨ Why it works: Our brains hate being left out. ✨ Actionable: Spotlight what they’ll lose by not acting. ✨ Example: “Last year I had to turn people away for Christmas nails because I was fully booked by November. Don’t let that be you this year - book early.” Trigger #2 – Belonging & Social Proof ✨ Why it works: We follow crowds we trust. ✨ Actionable: Showcase real clients and their nail journeys. ✨ Example: “This client used to be a nail biter, but look at the growth after just 3 appointments!” Trigger #3 – Identity & Self-Image ✨ Why it works: People buy to become the person they want to be. ✨ Actionable: Paint the identity shift your services provide. ✨ Example: “These are not just nails, they’re an audacity upgrade. You walk into that interview like, hire me or I’ll start my own company and steal your staff.” Trigger #4 – Scarcity & Urgency ✨ Why it works: Limited availability spikes desire. ✨ Actionable: Frame slots or products as rare or time-sensitive. ✨ Example: “Have you booked your Halloween set yet? Slots are limited, and I can’t promise you one if you don’t book now.” Trigger #5 – Aspiration ✨ Why it works: We pursue what we can imagine. ✨ Actionable: Paint a vivid “after” result. ✨ Example: “This client can’t believe that these are her natural nails after visiting us regularly for the last 6 months.” At the end of the day, your content isn’t just “posting nails”. It’s pressing the exact buttons in your clients’ brains that make them stop scrolling and start booking. Sprinkle these triggers into your captions and stories, and suddenly you’re not begging for clients - they’re begging for you.
