Hi everyone! 💅 Welcome to The Nail Tech Corner: a community created for nail techs to learn, share, ask questions, support each other and grow together. Whether you're brand new or have been doing nails for years, you belong here. We're building a global space where nail techs can connect, share knowledge and have access to education and resources without having to figure everything out alone. And genuinely… thank you for being here. 🥹 You are part of building this with us, and the more people participate, the better this community becomes for everyone. 💡 HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF TNTC Don't just lurk. 👀 TNTC works best when you participate. Ask questions. Answer someone else's. Share your work. Join a live. Comment on posts. Share something you've learned. Celebrate your wins. And there's a bonus: when you help us grow the community, you can earn from it too. 💰 Our contributor/referral system rewards members who bring new people into TNTC - so you can help grow the community and get paid for the value you're helping create. 👋 FIRST THINGS FIRST Please visit the START HERE course in the Classroom section. It'll show you how everything works and where to find things. Then, drop an intro below 👇 1. Your name + where you're based 2. How long you've been doing nails 3. One nail skill you'd love to master this year 4. Your social media handle - not the link (so we can support you there too!) We can't wait to get to know you and build something bloody brilliant with you. 💅💛

Hey everyone! I've made the final decision to go ahead with dedicating the entire month of November to a Beginner's Bootcamp! 🥳 Two live calls a day, every weekday, so wherever you are in the world, there's a time that hopefully works for you. Plus I'll be in here every single day cheering you on, answering questions, and looking at your practice pics. It's four weeks, fully mapped out, taking you from "I have no idea what I'm doing" to actually being confident. 👇 🗓️ Week 1 - Foundation & theory (nail health, product safety, the stuff nobody explains properly) 🗓️ Week 2 - Prep (because good prep is invisible and bad prep is impossible to hide) 🗓️ Week 3 - Application (gel, builder gel, acrylic basics - real hands-on skill) 🗓️ Week 4 - Business basics (because "I can do nails" and "I can run a business" are two very different things) No nail art in this one, you've already got plenty of that in here. This month is 100% about the foundations everyone skips and then wonders why things go wrong later. I've attached the full curriculum below so you can see exactly what each day covers before we kick off. Have a read, get excited, and drop a 🙋 in the comments if November is your month. I want to know who's in before we even start. 💛

Okay, I just want to preface this by saying I will get better with voiceovers as I do more of them, so please just bare with me 😂 I get focused on the time moving and it distracts me from explaining what I’m trying to explain 🥴 ANYWAY! Here is how I do a builder gel fill on a medium almond nail. Please note that because it’s a fill, and there’s still a layer of builder gel from the previous set, I don’t add “more” gel to the apex near the free-edge area. If you have a question or comment, please drop it in the comments - I’d love to talk about it 🫶

Hi everyone! I hope you're having an awesome weekend 🥳 I've been thinking up a plan to help the members of this community, especially those who are absolute beginners, have a love for nails, and want to start taking a career seriously. The idea I've landed on is a Beginner's Bootcamp for the month of November (sorry, I know it's a bit far out, but I need to plan it out properly to make sure I'm giving you genuine value). My plan is to step away from my salon for the month, and focus my energy solely on this. There will be daily lives, activities, homework, etc. So, as much as I'm putting all of my energy into it, you would get the most benefit from doing the same. (The lives will be recorded, so if you're busy with work and can't make it, that's okay!). It'll be like a proper mini online course. Before doing anything dramatic to my client bookings, I just want to see if there's any interest in this?
