Sets i’ve done recently as a beginner nail tech 🥰

4/28 Edited to

... Read moreStarting out as a beginner nail technician is both exciting and challenging, and sharing my recent sets has really helped me track my progress and gain confidence. One thing I’ve learned is the importance of practicing different nail shapes and designs regularly. For example, trying out simple yet elegant styles like minimalist lines or soft ombré gradients can boost your skills without overwhelming you. Additionally, investing time in proper nail prep—like pushing back cuticles and buffing nail beds—makes a huge difference in how the polish or gel adheres and lasts. I also discovered how essential good brushes and quality polishes are; they can improve precision and the final look significantly. Connecting with others on platforms like Instagram (@frenchkissed.nails) has expanded my inspiration and helped me stay motivated by seeing what fellow beginner nail techs are creating. Using hashtags such as #beginnernailtech and #nailinspo allows me to join a supportive community that shares tips and encourages continuous learning. Overall, the journey is about embracing imperfections and celebrating small wins. Every set I do is a step forward, and I recommend documenting your progress through photos and social media—it’s rewarding to see how far you’ve come!

I recently transitioned from acrylic to polygel due to the smell of monomer giving me a headache. I have fallen in love with polygel and I never plan to go back! These are my must haves to do a polygel set. #polygelnailtech #polygelnails #beginnernailtech #musthaves

Beginner nail tips from a semi retired nail tech 💅
1. Quality over Quantity ✅️ I get wanting to improve speed. However, if you're fresh out of school, speed will come with time. My "good" sets used to take about 3-4 hours for basic french, even longer for designs! Slow down, REALLY pay attention to each step you do, and take your time!
