Howdy ya’ll! I’m Loni, a 60 something disabled gal who loves nails! I am a retired dog trainer/groomer and showed many breeds but my personal breed was miniature poodles. I always felt it looked more professional if my nails were nicely done (with artwork) when showing dogs which is how I got into this world. After I retired from the dogs, I went back to school and became a licensed nail tech. I found out my back couldn’t do the stress of being a nail tech but I loved the artwork side and found I could hand paint scenes on nails. Unfortunately that was about 20 years ago but I’ll post a few pics of my hand painted feathers to get an idea. I’ll also post a pic of my current nail design. I’m here to get ideas and share. Can’t wait to meet others. Ohh yea! I’m heavily into fiber arts! Crocheting, knitting, needle felting, ect. ( gems on nails tend to snag fiber unfortunately)

Hey Nail Network family! 🌈 Let’s talk about something that’s not just important, but *crucial* for our success: sanitation! 🧽✨ In the beauty industry, especially in nail care, maintaining a clean and safe environment should always be our top priority. Here’s why sanitation takes the crown over marketing! 👑 1. Client Trust is Everything! 🤝💖 When clients walk into your salon, the first thing they notice is cleanliness. A sanitized space builds trust and shows that you care about their health and safety. 💪✨ Happy clients are repeat clients! 2. Health Risks Are Real! ⚠️😷 Poor sanitation can lead to infections and other health issues. Protecting our clients means protecting our reputation. Remember, a healthy tech is a happy tech! 💚 3. Word of Mouth is Organic Marketing! 📣💬 When clients feel safe and well-cared for, they’ll spread the word! Your best marketing tool is a satisfied client. Let your sanitation practices do the talking! 🗣️✨ 4. Stand Out in a Crowded Market! 🌟🏆 While everyone else is focused on flashy marketing, being known for your exceptional sanitation can set you apart. Be the go-to nail tech who prioritizes safety! 🚀 💥 Challenge Time! 💥 Let’s grow our Nail Network!

You’re allowed to adjust the vision without abandoning it. 👇🏽 Check-in below: • One word that describes how 2026 feels so far • One thing you’re releasing • One thing you’re protecting this year Let’s stay intentional together. 💫
