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. 💛

Don't forget to wear eye protection/face shields when working regularly on clients 🙏 I went to the optometrist this week and they confirmed that I have scratched the surface of my eyeball from repeated exposure to nail dust 👀 No good. Don't be like me.

For the last few months, I’ve been putting something together behind the scenes, and now we can finally tell you what we’ve been working on! Welcome to 31 Days of Halloween. 🕷️ Throughout October, you’ll get access to a brand new Halloween nail art tutorial every single day, created by a different nail tech from somewhere around the world. That means 31 days of tutorials, 31 different artists, and 31 completely different creative perspectives. One of the things I really wanted to capture with this series was just how much variety exists within our industry. Not everyone learns the same way, has the same experience, or creates the same kind of nail art, and I think that’s something worth celebrating! Some of these tutorials will be perfect for beginners, while others will challenge more experienced techs. There’ll be different styles, techniques, approaches and aesthetics, so whether you’re still learning the basics or you’ve been doing nails for years, there should be something here that makes you want to pick up your brush and have a go! But there’s a bigger reason we wanted to do it this way. I could have created 31 tutorials myself, but that wouldn’t really represent what The Nail Tech Corner is supposed to be. This community was created around the idea that nail techs have so much to learn from one another, and that no single person can possibly be the expert in everything. There are incredibly talented nail techs all over the world, each with their own skills, experiences and little tricks that someone else might never have thought of. I wanted to bring some of those people together and give them a space to share what they know with the rest of us. 🖤 We’re incredibly grateful to every nail tech who said yes, took the time to create a tutorial, and trusted me to bring this idea to life with them. We hope you’ll learn something from them, discover some new artists to follow, and maybe even step outside your usual style and try something completely different.

Okay Beginner's Bootcampers - with November getting closer, I want to know exactly who's going to be in the (virtual) room with me 🥳 I've put together a little form so I can get to know you a bit better before we start: your name, where you're joining from, what's brought you to nails, what's worrying you about getting started, and a few other bits that'll help me plan this month around the people actually showing up 🫶 If you're planning to be part of Beginner's Bootcamp, this is how I find that out. So if that's you, please take a few minutes to fill it in - I read every single one, and I'll use it to shape how I run the month. https://forms.gle/zK5yE49bU8wU9ceVA ⏱️ Takes about 5–7 minutes 💛 No wrong answers, just honesty 🙋 If you're coming, this is how I know

Let's do a fun quiz to start some conversations and learn some things! 1) What condition is present on this person's nails? 2) Why/how have you identified that? (Hint: there is a page on it in the Nail Diseases & Conditions ebook in the Free E-books section of the classroom)
