It is tempting to load up the brush so you can finish faster. Thick coats cure unevenly, wrinkle, and peel off in sheets because the top has cured while the bottom is still wet. Two or three thin coats will always outlast one heavy coat. Wipe the excess off the brush on the bottle neck before it goes near the nail. How many coats of gel polish do you usually need to get full coverage, and which polish or gel do you find is the worst offender for streaking?

Hi lovely nail techs and enthusiasts! 💅 25 Days of Christmas Nail Art is coming to TNTC: 25 nail techs, 25 festive tutorials, one for every day leading up to Christmas. And before I open it up to the world, I wanted to give you, our members, first dibs on a spot. 💛 Why now? Halloween taught me a lot. I learned what worked, what I’d do differently and what I’d never do again. This time round it’s smoother, clearer and better organised, so it’s easier to take part and the whole series looks even better. If you think Halloween is fun, wait until you see this one. ✨ What you need to know: 🎄 You’ll create a festive nail art tutorial to be shared with the community 📅 Your tutorial needs to be ready to post by 20 November. This one is non-negotiable! I’m getting stricter with it this time so the whole series runs smoothly, and everyone gets their moment 🫶 🌎 You’ll be featured alongside nail techs from all over the world Keen? 📩 DM me your email address, and I’ll take it from there. I’ll send over everything you need to know. Not sure if you’re “ready” or “good enough”? Honestly, if you love doing nails and you want to share what you know, you’re exactly who we want. 🥹 Spots are limited, and I can’t wait to see who’s in! Drop a 🎄 below if you’re thinking about it so I can cheer you on. Let’s make this the most festive month TNTC has ever seen. 💚❤️

Clients always come with AI inspo, which I don’t mind, I just let them know it won’t be exactly like the picture lol. These little pumpkins came out so cute ☺️

Little swatch display and snacks for clients. And my sterilizer. I need to find a better solution for my swatch rings.

Just did my first dip powder on my daughter. Did not realize how tedious it is. How long do you all wait for the powder to dry after each base coat?
