📸 LIGHTS ON / LIGHTS OFF NAIL PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE One winner will receive a BIG BOX of nail goodies (tons of stuff I promise)! 🎁 This is a nail photography challenge—not a challenge to recreate the nails in our example. Create any nail design using any brand of glow product. Then photograph the same finished nails twice: 💡 One photo with the lights ON 🌙 One photo with the lights OFF Try to keep your hand position and camera angle as similar as possible so we can clearly see the transformation. Need help? Competitors can use both of these Nail Skool courses for reference: ✨ Spooky Glow 📸 The Nail Photography Masterclass We are judging how well your two photographs capture the lights-on/lights-off transformation—not who creates the most complicated nail art. NO AI ENHANCEMENTS OF COURSE! (you have to turn OFF the flash on your phone when you take the pic in the dark - ALSO don't forget to try a video , again NO FLASH, you can take screen shots of still moments that are best). The example photos only demonstrate the photography concept. You do not have to copy the design, colors, length, shape, or products. Any brand is welcome. Wildflowers products are not required. LEARN IT. TRY IT. LIGHTS OUT. ✨

I’m building Nail Skool out right now, and since you’re already here early, I want your input. ❤️ What do you want more of first: nail art, business, becoming a nail tech, or press-ons?

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

INTRODUCE YOURSELF (I legit want to connect with you and connect you to helpful people)! (I put my pic everyday I have an official work day because I'm ADHD and it helps me SHOW UP for YOU! It's like a silly accountability game, feel free to play with me.... I'll send you a PJ one on the weekends to check in haha) RIGHT NOW I'm in here every day checking in, answering questions, trying to be as HELPFUL as I can for now AS I BUILD CLASSES (you don't want anything old and crusty) and recruit my most qualified world champion friends to HELP ME TOOOOOO. I need to understand your problems to REALLY BE HELPFUL so I ask a LOT of questions. I love to solve a good nail tech problem or kung-fu your broken-ass, stinkin thinkin brain. I cuss sometimes now. I don't care if you like it or not, I can't help it. Forgive me and love me anyway or leave. I dont have time for polished professional performance in here. There's an AI bot for that and I'm not her. I'm building this thing FOR YOU ALL just about every day of the week. I want to build it FRESH with solutions to your RIGHT NOW problems, especially. What is my hidden agenda? Honestly I don't have one. I've climbed every mountain I wanted to in the nail industry. I'm going to keep as much of this FREE as I possibly can. NAIL TECH - it's NOT YOUR FAULT if you are broke, if you were taught the wrong thing, or if a technique didn't work like a video or brand or educator promised it would. THIS INDUSTRY NEEDS HELP. THIS IS ME TRYING MY EVERYTHING TO BE HELPFULLLLLLLLL because I REALLY DO LOVE YOUUUUUU. And hi, I'm Lauren. I have adopted kids all over the world lol. I'm getting the gray streak in my hair I always dreamed I'd get.... debating on whether to let it out NOW or wait a "hair" longer hahaha.
