How did children affect your career?
Hi ladies. I just wanted to getting hour opinions, and hopefully some advice around the topic of having kids. I'm so torn about it. Me and my partner aren't getting any younger and we're talking about it a lot more these days. I'm just worried about so many things 😪. Is this the right world to bring kids into, is this going to impact my career so much that I won't be able to recover from it? I know lots of people have kids and come back, but you never really know the full story from what's shown on social media. So I guess I'm asking for some insight into the full story. Did your clients understand? Did they come back? Was it hard to build it back up to where it was? Sorry for the ramble 🤧

Related question for the group - did you do any extra protective measures when doing nails while pregnant? 😊 I’ve been on a long TTC journey (to be honest including a loss around this time last year) and I wasn’t doing nails before and this has been something in the back of my mind in terms of chemical exposure etc
Miscellar water
I saw a post the other day where a nail tech cleaned up the nails and rehydrated the skin for photos with miscellar water instead of cuticle oil. Does anyone else do this? I think it would be good for matte sets because oil seems to ruin those photos. Just want to hear what others have to say about it

Oh that’s interesting-I could see this being good from a photography perspective because it’s hydrating but wouldn’t be reflective like the oil!
Gel x!
Whoever would like some extra help with their Gel X application- please message me! I'm more than happy to help!

I had to do Gel-x on a friend when I was not expecting to and I had no idea what I was doing (I now know I definitely didn’t blend it well), so I would love to learn all the things!
Alright, here we go…experimentation time!
First post!! (I think?) I got a bunch of new products that I just wanted to have fun with and futz around with no agenda, and this is what came out of it!! I’m going to be taking nicer up closer photos and to post on my instagram but I was too excited I had to share tonight! 🥰 I took photos of each nail with the products I used for each that I can add if that’d be of interest?

@Amanda O'Connor Here are some close ups of that one!! I’ve never done anything like this before! I also added the photo of all the products I used. The base is the textured gel and then I just worked layers of the gel color and inks!
