Welcome!
What do you think is the biggest mistake in the nail industry?
Trying to do everything alone. Many nail artists think they have to figure everything out by themselves no questions no support no feedback. But growth happens faster when you learn share and talk with others. I see so many talented people stuck simply because they don’t ask for help. What about you what do you wish you had more support with when you were learning? Share below 🤍

I think this is so true, we can get stuck in our ways without looking for feedback from other professionals
✨Cuticle Area Damage — What These Lines Really Mean✨
I want to show you something many nail techs completely overlook — those curved lines and grooves near the cuticle that appear after removal or when the product grows out. This is not dryness. Not “your client’s nail type.” Not product issues. Most of the time, this is damage caused by incorrect e-file work in the cuticle area. 🔍Why does this happen? These little grooves appear when: - the pressure with the bit is too strong - the angle is wrong - the bit goes too deep under the cuticle - you stay in one spot for too long - the cuticle area is overworked because you’re chasing “perfect clean” instead of using proper technique This zone is extremely thin and sensitive — so even a tiny mistake shows up weeks later. ❗How to recognize cuticle area damage? - the lines follow the natural curve of the cuticle - the marks are only in the upper part of the nail - after removal they look even brighter/whiter - the nail may feel slightly sensitive when pressed If you see this — it’s technique, not anatomy. 💛Why it matters Damage in this area can cause: - lifting from the cuticle - weaker adhesion - sensitivity - long-term thinning of the nail plate - “mysterious” lifting that techs often blame on products 🌿What’s next? I’ll create a full lesson soon on how to work the cuticle area without pressure, without grooves, and without damaging the nail plate — step by step, with simple explanations. ✨Comment below Have you ever seen lines like these on your clients or on yourself? If you want, you can also add photos — I’ll look at them and help you understand what exactly caused the damage and what you need to adjust in your technique. We’re here to grow together and create clean, safe prep 🤍

💖 A little surprise for active members
I’ve just unlocked a new lesson inside the Classroom for Level 2 members. It’s about timing, confidence, and being kinder to yourself during the learning process. If you’ve ever felt slow, overwhelmed, or unsure about your pace, this lesson is for you 🤍 If you’re not at Level 2 yet, don’t worry it is easy to get there and this lesson will be waiting for you ✨
