Hello im excited to be here. And to learn all about nails

Hi everyone! I am beyond excited to open the doors to this space. Please visit the "START HERE" course in the classroom section to learn about how this space works x Then, let’s break the ice! Drop an intro below 👇Tell us: 1. Your name + where you’re based 2. How long you’ve been doing nails 3. One nail skill you’d love to master this year 4. Your social media handle - not the link (the only self-promo we'll allow 😉) Can’t wait to get to know each of you and start building something amazing together. 💅

Does anyone have tips on timing? I feel like I take too long on a set. With removal and prep it feels like it takes forever. Anywhere from 1.5 - 2 hours with GelX and builder gel. Depending on nail art. I’d love to cut my time down, but also focus on nail health so I go a little slower to make sure I’m not over filing. After I remove old polish I do cuticle work and then buff with a small sanding band. Wipe with alcohol and then start my application process.

Hi everyone! My name is Cris and I’m the founder and product developer behind Crisania Neri Nails, a Canadian pro nail brand. I’ve been a 3D nail artist for many years, and my background is also in motion and graphic design. We specialize in unique and fun nail art products and we are especially known for our 3D sculpting gels and gel palettes. Most of our products are manufactured in Korea and Japan, while some are developed and produced in-house in Canada. We’re also proudly PETA-certified, vegan and cruelty-free 🐰 I’m very proud of our products because we don’t simply select standard formulas and place our name on them. A lot of thought, testing and development goes into their performance, compliance and safety. Product chemistry, proper curing and nail safety are also extremely important to us. We have an in-house lab where we test our products scientifically, including assessing their degree of cure with our lamp using differential photocalorimetry. I’ve also had the opportunity to work alongside internationally respected nail scientist and chemist Doug Schoon. I’m so happy to be here and excited to share educational resources, answer questions and connect with other nail artists! 🤎🧸
