Quick poll, no overthinking
When it comes to learning or consuming nail content, do you prefer: ✨ Short-form (Reels, TikToks, quick tips) or 🧠 Long-form (YouTube videos, in-depth breakdowns, full modules) Some of us love a 10-minute deep dive, others want to learn it in 10 seconds

I love an in depth tutorial that I can pause as I practice it 😉
Hey Queens, could you pls help me🙏💗
Hey Queens 💞 I’m a beginner nail tech and only just growing my clientele from more than just my family and friends. I do lack confidence when it comes to getting out of my comfort zone and introducing my work, even though I feel it’s great work, I fear other people won’t like it. I do need to get out of my shell more but I’m not sure how, does anybody have any ideas or experiences that my help? Thank you guys ❤️❤️❤️

@Nicky MacLean my favorite quote from Eckhart Tolle "feel the fear and do it anyway".
Where did it all begin? ✨
Who or what inspired you to start doing nails? 💅

I was recovering from a MVA which resulted in a permanent ankle injury. I watched hours and hours of Kirsty Meakin in her naio bails days lol, Elizabeth Morris, Suzie and more and then thought I could actually do this as I loved arts and crafts growing up, doing my sister's nails etc. Joined Monaco Nail Academy in 2019 and now here I am and I still love it 😀 ❤️

@Nicky MacLean I'm glad I did too. It's been life changing for me in so many ways 🥰
Are you using the right Instagram post size? 📱
Instagram had an estimated 2 billion monthly active users as of early 2025. Here's how you can start standing out amongst them: Take advantage of the new Instagram post format. If you're still posting in the square format, you might be choking your reach. Instagram's algorithms prioritize content that is able to capture more of a user's attention. That's why they're switching from the square grid to a taller format. Use an app like Canva to create a custom-sized design: 1080x1440 px 📏 Let me know if you need any help with this 🫶

I struggle to keep up with the changes. It's getting easier the more I use the platform though. Lol and then there is tik tok 🤣 I just can't keep up
Watch the Sidewalls
It’s easy to focus prep just on the centre of the nail plate, but product often lifts first at the sidewalls or cuticle area. Taking time to gently clean and prep those edges ensures your product bonds evenly all the way around. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference in longevity. 💛

This was the game changer for me in my early days.
