The Daily Nail

Question is…..which would you choose?
Share for some silver appreciation in a nail world adorned with gold.

Join me in my frustration. Punch the share button!!!!!!

Asking the chat gpt gods to summon up the inspo for the nails to match the outfit. Then asking it politely to lower its expectations of me 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

Still, chat gpt has some pretty amazing uses.
*chat gpt was NOT used to edit the finished result. All clean prep and photography skills which you can learn in my online course The Daily Nail Effect❤️

Engagement from your loved ones, let me tell you, means MORE than engagement from random followers on Instagram. Now don’t get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE all you nail techs who follow along, like, comment and support my work. Because this page is for YOU! ❤️

But for most of you, your pages are for your circle. Your clients, your friends, your family. The people who actually know you. But it stings a little more than people realise when there’s nothing but tumbleweeds from your nearest and dearest.

Because they’re the people who see how hard you work, how much time you put in and how much your business means to you.

Even now, after all these years, it still makes me smile that little bit more when I see my mates, family or even my clients liking and commenting on my work. (Nudge nudge, take the bloody hint. 👀)

And no, nobody owes you engagement. But equally, nobody’s asking you to remortgage your house to support someone’s nail business. We’re talking about pressing a little heart on your phone. It’s hardly a massive commitment.

So this post is for YOU to share. A little reminder to your nearest and dearest that support is FREE, takes seconds and actually means something.

And while we’re here, TAG YOUR NAIL TECH! Remind them you’re here, you see their hard work and you appreciate them. You don’t have to be their biggest customer. Just don’t be their quietest supporter.

Doing these nails justice especially when Rebeca Dounetas • Nail Educator • Nail Courses London work is brought in as inspo!

Something that might surprise a few of you…I actually have AMAZING relationships with the brands I work with. I don’t hate nail brands. I don’t hate the nail industry. Quite the opposite actually. I’ve spent over 20 years in it and I absolute love it!

Have I been done dirty? Absolutely. Have some of you? I’m bloody certain of it!!

Something I’ve noticed over the years is how much energy nail techs put into building relationships with brands. Wanting to be noticed, reposted, recognised, invited to events or given an affiliate code.

And listen, there’s nothing wrong with having great relationships with suppliers. I have them myself and I value them. But I think some of us have forgotten who’s actually supposed to be serving who.

Your real business isn’t built on whether a brand knows your name. It’s built on whether your clients trust you, respect you and want to keep coming back.

A brand reposting your work is lovely, but ask yourself this…..what does that repost ACTUALLY bring to your business? In terms of real financial gain? Don’t spend so much time trying to get a seat at their table that you forget you’ve already built your own bloody business.

Now answer me this. Have we become a little too obsessed with being noticed by brands rather than being valued by our clients?

My clients never need to apologise!!!
Do yours?

You dont just watch me work….i share all my top tips, how to save time, hacks, product recommendations, how I perfect a French, how to make nailart lucrative, how to manage expectations and how to actually start to ENJOY nailart instead of it sucking the joy out of your day!
