NAIL FRIENDS! 🆘🖤⁣
⁣
It has been a while! I’ve missed you!⁣
⁣
During Covid, I’ve taken a little break from The Nailscape to focus on supporting the beauty community through my podcast - . (Have you tuned in yet?)⁣
⁣
Jaime and I have had so much fun bringing topics that help each beauty discipline where we are right now, that more actual physical space needs to be devoted to create a podcast studio. Great, right? Yes!⁣
⁣
However, there are just a few Nailscape boxes left and they are taking up some very valuable space. So it’s time for a mega clearance sale!⁣
⁣
Every past nailscape box is now just $20!!! ❗️❗️❗️⁣
⁣
Grab them while they last / link in bio 🖤🖤🖤⁣

New opinion piece: How to filter out misinformation and question those who have something to gain by giving you bad info.

I will not stand by while prominent members of the nail industry downplay the current situation and spread myths and unsound advice in order to make money.

This blog post also contains an audio version if you really want an immersive experience.

Is it a holiday? There's a new op-ed up on The Nailscape!
This one has been brewing for a while, so I hope you enjoy!

"To beauty pros inundated with information right now, I want to help you sift through the bad info and the noise and get to the real, correct data and direction. I want you to think about why someone would be motivated to share incorrect info. How does the person in question benefit from getting you to do something or act a certain way? How does directing you to ignore CDC and other governmental guidelines benefit them?"

Hello Nailscapers!

Lots of announcements in the following video:

1. I’ve just started a podcast with Jaime Schrabeck called Outgrowth, and I’d love for you to give it a listen!

2. There’s lots of great social media marketing info at ashleythecoach.com, and Ashley Gregory - Coaching for Beauty Entrepreneurs will be at your favorite beauty show soon!

3. It is time to say goodbye to The Nailscape Box. Our Winter box was our last, (because who could top that amazing box???)

I have adored every second of curating these boxes for you, and I thank you all so much for your support and patronage. Whether you have been with me for one box or since the beginning, you are all shining stars.

The Nailscape will continue, just as we were before the box. You can always find great info on the blog and our Instagram. 🖤🖤🖤

FYI Those with an active subscription will not be charged again. No need to cancel your subscription, as I have taken care of that for you. There will be a few left over boxes from past editions available for sale on the site in the coming weeks. Please reach out with any questions at [email protected]

Billie Eilish’s nails are the talk of the Grammy red carpet tonight. Emi Kudo, along with her team, Mika Akagawa and Nao Ish*ta, created this custom set of Gucci monogram press-ons with OPI GelColor and HAND PAINTED the Gucci design.

Get this look:

“First coat: ‘March in uniform.’ Second coat : my custom blend of ‘AmazOn AmazOff,’ ‘Sun, Sea, and Sand in my Pants.’

The GG Mark = Hand painting green neon gel + OPI ‘Pump up the Volume’ neon yellow.”

Each nail took about 20 minutes to create.

What do you think? Are these the most impressive Gucci nails you’ve seen?
