Tutorial Filming Set Up
If you’ve been wanting to film tutorials but weren’t sure how, here is what I do 😊📸 Things to note: - I use an iPhone 12 to film (I will die on this hill: best phone for content creation) - I prefer a lighter background because it reflects light and doesn’t absorb it - this is what makes it clear and bright. You can use darker backgrounds if it better suits your style, but you would just need to invest more in lighting 🫶

Press on pricing
Hey guys I need some advice I’m starting up a press on business connected to my main business to fill in a bit of free time. I do a lot of free hand detailed art as well as 3D what sort of pricing do you think is fair would you recommend doing a price tier based on how detailed the sets are? Attached are a few I have some so fair let me know what you think.

@Nicky MacLean the one thing I’m really struggling with is know how much to charge I don’t feel 100% comfortable charging top tier just yet but I also don’t want to rip myself off as well. I just don’t know what price point to kinda start off with the ones I put in the og post I charged $50 as they where practice sets to see if my sizing kits worked and if the nails still sat well after being painted

@Nicky MacLean yes they did they were all custom sets. I think I'm probably leaning more towards custom sets

3D chrome
I'd love to know how we are sealing in 3D chrome to avoid chipping but also while keeping the 3D look?

For 3d chrome I will do my design with 3d gel that works with chrome and then do one lot of chrome. Then I will use a non wipe top coat just the design and seal that but also do another layer of chrome. Then I topcoat the whole nail but try and remove to much extra topcoat from around the design so you don’t lose the 3D. Doing this insurances that if the top chips or scratches you have another layer under I also like to add a similar colours to the chrome into the gel to make it’s less noticeable as well I hope this helps a little?
