🚨💅 THE FINAL NAIL TRIVIA GAME BEFORE THE DRAWING! 💅🚨

Alright, nail fam… this is it. THE LAST GAME before the drawing! 🎉

And naturally, we couldn’t possibly end this month by making it easy. That would be far too nice of us. 😂

🧠 THE QUESTION:

What is the PRIMARY difference between the EPONYCHIUM and the CUTICLE—and WHY is it important for a nail tech to know the difference?

Think carefully.
Read it twice.
Maybe stare at your nails dramatically for a minute. 😂

🚫 NO GOOGLING!
We know who the internet detectives are. 👀😂

🎁 BONUS QUESTION #1 — HARD MODE:

What type of tissue is the eponychium, and what is its primary protective function?

🔥 BONUS QUESTION #2 — NAIL-TECH NIGHTMARE:

The cuticle is removed during a manicure, but should the eponychium be removed? Explain WHY or WHY NOT.

💥 BONUS QUESTIONS ARE SEPARATE!
You can answer one, both, or risk your dignity and answer all three. 😂

🎟️ THE ENTRY RULES:

✨ 2 entries per answer!
Yep. TWO. Not one. Not three. TWO. 😂

And here's the fun part…

Who knows if its the right answer or wrong answer that gets you extra entries?! 😈

Every answer gets you entries, because we're rewarding participation—not just the people who apparently have a nail encyclopedia permanently installed in their brain. 😂

⏰ REMEMBER: This is THE LAST GAME.
So put on your thinking cap,
because apparently we're ending the month with a Nail Tech Anatomy Final Exam. 💀💅😂

🎉 DRAWING TIME: 9/30! 🎉

DROP YOUR ANSWERS BELOW! 👇

Game 6 answer: J-C-G-D-I-F-B-H-E-K-A; bonus answer: cleansing/dehydrating the nail plate is essential for removing oils & residue so the product can properly adhere to the nail plate.

Apparently doing nails, drinking coffee, and talking s**t isn’t enough entertainment around here… so I’ve decided to make YOU work for it. 😂

All month long, I’ll be dropping random games, questions, trivia, and probably some completely unnecessary nonsense because… why not? 🤷🏼‍♀️

🎯 HOW TO PLAY:

💬 See the question? ANSWER IT IN THE COMMENTS.

That’s it. No complicated instructions. No 47-page waiver. No builder gel required. 😂

✅ RIGHT answers are welcome.
❌ WRONG answers are ALSO welcome.
This is a judgment-free zone… mostly. 👀😂

🎟️ EVERYONE who participates gets their name entered into the BIG END-OF-MONTH DRAWING!

Buttttt… because I apparently enjoy making things complicated:

🧠 CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY will get entered into a SECOND drawing for a FREE $5 UPGRADE at your next scheduled service after the drawing!

So yes… you can be confidently wrong AND still have a chance at the big prize. 😂👏🏼

🎃👻 AND WHAT, YOU ASK, ARE YOU PLAYING FOR?!

☕ Ghost coffee mug
🧦 Ghost socks
✨ Body mist
🕯️ Candle
🧴 Spray hand sanitizer
🎃 Ceramic pumpkin decoration

Basically, I put together a little “I survived another month of being a nail client” survival kit. 😂

And remember…
There are no stupid answers… just answers I may screenshot and use against you later. 😂😂

👻🎃 GOOD LUCK, NAIL FAM!

Game 1...

💅 TRUE OR FALSE? 💅

🚨 White spots on your nails mean you’re deficient in calcium. 🥛🦴

TRUE or FALSE?! 👀

Drop your answer in the comments before you Google it! 😂

No cheating, nail fam—we’re testing those brains, not just those cuticles. 💅🧠
And yes… your nail tech has opinions. 😂

OH—and before I forget… 👀

You can answer until the next game posts! Once the next game drops, this one is officially closed. 🚪😂

So you’ve got a limited window to put those big brains to work before I come barging in with more chaos💅🧠

No pressure… but also… kinda pressure. 😏

May your answers be correct, your cuticles be cooperative, and your appointment never get canceled because you “forgot.”

💅 Q & A with Mandy & Bree 💅
Because apparently we thought you all need to know what goes on inside our heads… proceed with caution. 😂

1️⃣ Coffee, tea, or energy drinks? ☕️🫖⚡️
Mandy: Depends on my mood. I like all 3. Basically, if it has caffeine, I’m interested. 😂
Bree: Iced coffee. Because apparently drinking something cold with caffeine is a personality trait. 🧋😂

2️⃣ What’s one thing you’re really proud of? ❤️
Mandy: My boys. ❤️
Bree: My Brynlee. ❤️

Okay, fine… getting all sentimental on us. We’ll allow it. 🥹

3️⃣ Would you rather never have to clean again or never have to cook again? 🧹🍳
Mandy: Clean.
Bree: Clean.

Apparently neither of us has any desire to spend our lives scrubbing toilets, but we’re perfectly willing to continue feeding people. 😂

4️⃣ What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend? 🎉
Mandy: With my chaotic family. Because apparently I don’t get enough chaos during the week. 😂
Bree: Doing absolutely nothing.

One of us thrives in chaos. The other is actively trying to avoid it. 😂

5️⃣ What’s your favorite nail trend right now? 💅✨
Mandy: Cat-eye with chrome accents. ✨
Bree: Cat-eye with cheetah print. 🐆

Because apparently we’ve decided nails need to be sparkly and slightly dangerous. 😂

So there you have it… Mandy & Bree in a nutshell.
☕️ Caffeine dependent
❤️ Proud mamas
🧹 Anti-cleaning
😂 One chaotic, one trying to escape the chaos
💅 And absolutely obsessed with cat-eye nails

Stay tuned for more completely unnecessary information you never asked for. 😂💅

Last of the nails for August
