Come and see what my day off looks like! ☀️
Not every day off is like this. Sometimes I catch up on housework, do some cooking, watch a film, or create a new reel for social media. 😅
But there was a time when I wasn’t able to have days off at all.
I worked with clients Monday to Friday and ran courses on weekends.
Nope… not even Sundays were free.
My mental and physical health suffered.
My family suffered.
My dreams suffered.
The quality of my work suffered.
Something had to change before I completely burned out.
Over time, I learned how to manage my business better and how to value my own time.
Now I can finally breathe. ❤️
I’m not at the finish line yet. I’m still a work in progress, but I know where I’m going and I’m moving towards it, one step at a time.
Do you recognise yourself in these words?
If you do, please know that things can get better. ❤️
When was the last time you had a proper day off??
You are now a nail tech and you know your technique - but somehow the photos you are taking aren’t showing your full potential?
You got yourself a newest smartfon and it didn’t work?
The secret behind stunning nail photos isn’t always just a better camera.
It’s often better lighting.
Proper lighting showcases colour accuracy, structure, and every tiny detail of your work. ✨
Let me know what is the most problematic when you take photos? 👇👇👇
When something like this happens, the priority is always the natural nail and the client’s safety 🤍
My client trapped her thumb on the way to her appointment and after taking a closer look, I could see the nail plate had been traumatised. Because of that, I advised her that I wouldn’t be extending the nail during the visit.
I carefully removed the gel product while avoiding the injured area and recommended giving the nail a few days to settle and begin healing first. Usually after around 3 days, if the area looks healthy and there are no signs of open skin, swelling or discomfort, we can safely rebuild and extend the nail.
After trauma, the nail bed becomes extremely sensitive, and applying an extension too soon can cause unnecessary pain and place extra pressure on the area. Waiting allows the skin and nail to calm down first. Once healed enough, the extension can actually help protect the traumatised area during regrowth 💅🏻
Moments like these are a reminder that being a nail tech is not only about creating beautiful nails, but also knowing when to stop and protect your client’s natural nails first.
Hopefully you never have to deal with situations like this, but if you do, save this video as a little emergency reminder ✨

Finally it has arrived!
I can proudly announce that my long waited pedicure course is finally here!
👉 You can book your course by sending me a private message.
In most cases, you will be given access to the course materials in advance so you can familiarise yourself with them beforehand. This is very important, as it helps ensure the training runs as smoothly and effectively as possible ✨
When attending the course, you don’t need to bring anything with you—all materials, products, and tools are fully provided, so there is no need to worry about forgetting anything ✨
I know you often perform best with your own model, so this is a perfect opportunity to bring someone with you who needs a fresh pedicure 🥰 This helps reduce stress and pressure, which can naturally occur on the day in one way or another.
Information about all of my other nail courses can be found in separate post—simply look at the top of the grid to explore each individual option 🔥❤️🔥
Thank you for taking the time to read this post, and for trusting me enough to choose me as your nail educator.
If you need any further information, please feel free to message me ❤️
I had a new client come in for a fill appointment. When she arrived, she mentioned that one of her nails was almost completely broken.
After inspecting the set, I realised there wasn’t any builder gel or structure underneath at all… it was only gel polish. 😳
This is a huge no-no, especially for long nails. Gel polish is a very soft product and simply isn’t strong enough to reinforce the structure and construction of longer nails.
Applying it in thick layers is not the solution either, because it can lead to heat spikes, chemical reactions, and even burns to the nail bed.
So what did I do?
✨ Removed the product completely
✨ Shortened the nails
✨ Changed the shape to a more natural-looking oval
✨ Reinforced the nails properly with gel
And because it was such a beautiful sunny day, we chose some gorgeous summery colours to finish the set ☀️💅
This is the final look! Let me know what you think 💕
Don’t forget to save this reel for later in case you ever need a reminder of what to do in situations like this.

I wouldn’t undercharge and I don’t say that lightly.
When you’re starting out, it’s completely normal to feel like you’re “not good enough yet” or that you need to charge less because your timings are slow or you’re still learning.
But here’s the truth most beginners don’t realise:
Your price isn’t just about your speed - it’s about your positioning.
If you start low, you don’t just attract more clients…
you attract the wrong expectations.
Clients who only book because you’re cheap rarely stay loyal when you grow. And worse, it keeps you stuck in a cycle where you’re overworked, underpaid, and constantly doubting your worth.
Talking about timing - every nail tech starts slow. That’s normal. That’s learning.
You don’t fix that by charging less…you fix it by practice and by getting better.
Your skill will improve with repetition, but your pricing should still reflect the service you are building, not just the speed you’re currently at.
Even as a beginner, you are investing time, using products, providing a service, building a business.
Instead of thinking “I’m slow so I should charge less” - start thinking:
“I’m in my learning stage, so I’ll price fairly, grow into it, and attract clients who respect my journey.”
Because when you know your value early, you don’t have to rebuild it later 🤍
Get ready to save this reel - some of these items really have no difference in quality from the ones bought for high street prices ✨
There are obviously limits - I do not buy tools or gel products there, but places like AliExpress, Temu and SHEIN are full of inspirational gadgets.
Do you have any other things that you bought there and are happy OR not happy with them?
