YOUR 4-MINUTE CATCH-UP 👀 Things are moving around here and I don’t want you missing anything. Watch this quick update, then tell me one thing: What are you working on right now, and what’s getting in your way? Technique, clients, pricing, photography, confidence, awkward shit… all of it counts. I’m reading every answer and jumping in wherever I can. That’s what Nail Skool is for. 💖

INTRODUCE YOURSELF (I legit want to connect with you and connect you to helpful people)! (I put my pic everyday I have an official work day because I'm ADHD and it helps me SHOW UP for YOU! It's like a silly accountability game, feel free to play with me.... I'll send you a PJ one on the weekends to check in haha) RIGHT NOW I'm in here every day checking in, answering questions, trying to be as HELPFUL as I can for now AS I BUILD CLASSES (you don't want anything old and crusty) and recruit my most qualified world champion friends to HELP ME TOOOOOO. I need to understand your problems to REALLY BE HELPFUL so I ask a LOT of questions. I love to solve a good nail tech problem or kung-fu your broken-ass, stinkin thinkin brain. I cuss sometimes now. I don't care if you like it or not, I can't help it. Forgive me and love me anyway or leave. I dont have time for polished professional performance in here. There's an AI bot for that and I'm not her. I'm building this thing FOR YOU ALL just about every day of the week. I want to build it FRESH with solutions to your RIGHT NOW problems, especially. What is my hidden agenda? Honestly I don't have one. I've climbed every mountain I wanted to in the nail industry. I'm going to keep as much of this FREE as I possibly can. NAIL TECH - it's NOT YOUR FAULT if you are broke, if you were taught the wrong thing, or if a technique didn't work like a video or brand or educator promised it would. THIS INDUSTRY NEEDS HELP. THIS IS ME TRYING MY EVERYTHING TO BE HELPFULLLLLLLLL because I REALLY DO LOVE YOUUUUUU. And hi, I'm Lauren. I have adopted kids all over the world lol. I'm getting the gray streak in my hair I always dreamed I'd get.... debating on whether to let it out NOW or wait a "hair" longer hahaha.

Sorry for the delay I was waiting for those big tall boxes to come! I promise I’ll make a video detailing what’s in the boxes and tubes… I’m finally setting up a nail table again after a year off. For those of you in premium (who entered last month’s nail competition) I’m teaching an exclusive free class just for you! Tell me when you want to learn about! I already have a vote for press on nails! Lmk what else! I’ll set my nail table up accordingly and I’ll get back to work. I can’t wait to see you all.

📸 LIGHTS ON / LIGHTS OFF NAIL PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE One winner will receive a BIG BOX of nail goodies (tons of stuff I promise)! 🎁 This is a nail photography challenge—not a challenge to recreate the nails in our example. Create any nail design using any brand of glow product. Then photograph the same finished nails twice: 💡 One photo with the lights ON 🌙 One photo with the lights OFF Try to keep your hand position and camera angle as similar as possible so we can clearly see the transformation. Need help? Competitors can use both of these Nail Skool courses for reference: ✨ Spooky Glow 📸 The Nail Photography Masterclass We are judging how well your two photographs capture the lights-on/lights-off transformation—not who creates the most complicated nail art. NO AI ENHANCEMENTS OF COURSE! (you have to turn OFF the flash on your phone when you take the pic in the dark - ALSO don't forget to try a video , again NO FLASH, you can take screen shots of still moments that are best). The example photos only demonstrate the photography concept. You do not have to copy the design, colors, length, shape, or products. Any brand is welcome. Wildflowers products are not required. LEARN IT. TRY IT. LIGHTS OUT. ✨

Hey everyone! I'm working HARD behind the scenes at Nail Skool! I finally got in the shipping boxes for our WINNERS, so I will be packing those up this afternoon. I'll be sure to take some sneaky peaky pics and vids! If you didn't yet see our October Glow Challenge, it's a PHOTO challenge! It's SO FUN. YOU CAN DO IT, and I'm being VERY generous with the prizes! I just found my WHOLE SWAG BAG from NAIL CAMP so I'll be dishing that out in the winnings as well. There's TONS of products from ALL DIFFERENT BRANDS. So what am I doing currently? Getting ready for the holidays of course! Could I be more vague, probably LOL. Don't worry! You'll be the first to know any exciting news about deals from Wildflowers on products etc. That's NOT what Nail Skool is about and I don't want to make it about that, but it IS FUN that I made a product line. And it's FUN to be the CEO, makes me feel like Jerrica in JEM 👩‍🎤 and the Holograms! What can I do to make the holidays LESS STRESSFUL for YOU??? (answer below!) OMG ALSO I'm still working on the PRESS ON course! I've spent SO MUCH TIME researching this and I have some radical concepts that I'm sure will ruffle some feathers.
