Community Topic of the Month: Nail Products and Education

Nail artists come in all shapes and forms. Whether you’re a pro stamper that changes their nails weekly, or a nail technician that has five years of experience, both have their own artistic preferences and tools. Since the boom in DIY nail art, stampers, files, polish, and gel can be found everywhere... from a local drugstore to the countless online shops that make it so easy to purchase the newest must-haves... whether you’re licensed or not! However with so many product options it can be difficult to master all the various ways to use each tool, and without accurate knowledge some of these items can be very dangerous! Proper research and education helps eliminate the possibilities of nail fun turning into nail horrors, especially for those DIY nail artists that like to venture outside of just regular polish.

Luckily there is a plethora of information at our pretty polished fingertips! YouTube channels and blogs don’t substitute for nail school, but they work wonderfully for learning how to use that chrome powder you’ve been saving for a special night out! Sometimes distinguishing which sources are credible may be tricky, so we decided to drop a few names that we love and trust, in case you ever want to learn more! Check out these resources below.
