Thank you so much for making these videos. They genuinely provide such valuable insight for people who are trying to set themselves up in this industry!

I’m loving all these info videos! Thank you for sharing your tips and not gatekeeping! ❤😊

Thank you for the tips, I'm currently stuck between coming up with designs and launching my press on shop for a local audience whom are unfamiliar with the concept of press on nails. Looking at this step from this perspective might be the solution for me! Love your videos and I can't wait for the next one too ~

I wish I had a you when I was starting! I’m sure your videos are so helpful for the new press on artists or even people like me who are always looking for different ways to do things! 💜

Hello! This video is so insightful! Thank you so much! I have one question, do you use/own a nail drill? do you have any recommendations? I haven't see any on your videos! Thank you :)

I love video so much, I'm enjoy

Do you have a video on what iPad apps/programs you use to keep track of everything?

I keep returning to this video because of how great it is. How do you get/ print your sizing and mounting cards? Do you print them yourself or do you have a printing service? I've looked into my local printing services, but they don't offer the sizes for the cards

thank you so much

Hi, I love your videos! I’m a nail technician and I would love to start a Pres on business but I still don’t decide if starting with expensive materials or affordable stuff from Amazon! I have savings from my current job (nanny) to start, but I’m scared of how is going to be at the beginning if I don’t sell the press on! What could be your recommendations!

Thank for your video , how you decide if you ship international or just for France ? I dont know 😮i make Japanese nail art ❤

Please talk about policies and marketing

Where do you get wide nail tips?

Also please make a video on how to resize the press on nails while perserving the neat professional look. For example, from long to medium coffin. The biggest problem im facing right now is ragged edges which just throws the whole look of nails.

@catpride1323

7 ай бұрын

I don't mean to stick my nose in, as I know the question was for her, but what exactly are you asking? I sorry if I don't fully understand, but I want too... lol Are you asking how to switch a customer from wearing long coffin to medium coffin? As you kinda of give that example. But at the same time you ask about having raggedy edges... Which is where I get lost.. I mean, if the edges and side walls are not neat, I assume you've dragged over with the polish and or top coat. The solution to that seems kind of straightforward. Don't paint over your edges... lol No offense, but be careful not to hook the brush over the edges or sides of the nail. If you do go over by mistake, which we've all done - then clean it up, before you cure it. Use your brush or a wet wipe and clean the sides or underside of the tip before curing. As a last resort, if you didn't realize your mistake till after - then you'll have to, file the over hang with a file. File off everything you need to, to clean up the sides, the tip and underneath the nails. Reshape if needed, and then top coat the nail, yes again... But if none of that is what you were asking - then what are you asking??

What app do you use to draw nails

Hi. Stumbled upon your videos and they have been SUPER helpful. Thank you so much. Question: when starting, how many sets should i have premade? Would 30 to 40 be enough? And how common is large size? I am thinking of making just small and medium sized in the beginning.

@catpride1323

7 ай бұрын

I know this question isn't for me, but I come from a business and marketing background, and thought I could help... 😊 In this case I would say 30 - 40 is to many... If were talking of one size and design. You do not want to be stuck with all of that, if it doesn't sell. Plus the cost on that would be so high, you'd need to repurchase all your supplies, just to do a 2nd design. We're also talking in the beginning, if you were established and had a large customer base, the answer would obviously be different. If your gonna do different size sets ( s,m,l ) I would probably do, 5 of ea. at most.. This of course is not knowing your exact situation and all the variables that go with it. But, you want to test the waters, with each design. If one could predict what's gonna be the must have, we'd all be millionaires. So many times we think the popular one be A, and yet it turns out to be C, the one you think isn't so hot !! As for the most popular size, some just say it's medium, but I think it depends on where your clientele is coming from. If your mostly selling to Asia, the popular size will be small. Age will be a factor in that too, we are smaller in our 20s, compared to our 50s... So its gonna depend on your particular market. Hope that helps 😊

Not everyone does that :) Secondly, i meant 30 to 40 sets in total ...that too for a pop shop. Also do you think if i just make 20 piece sets instead of going into s/m/l hassle,that would be more convenient and efficient?

@catpride1323

7 ай бұрын

@@ayeshayounus7539 You are so welcome... 😊 Oh, in total or in all.. well it depends on how many designs. If you had 3 designs, that's 10 sets of each. That's 3 small, 3 med, 3 large, 1 left over to demo. And now, only 2 more designs... That's a small pop up store, .. what happens if you sell out in the 1st, 2 hours. ?? The problem with pop up stores and or crafts shows, its the inventory needed... You need several of each color, in each design in each size. And someone still asks for something you don't have.. lol And out of that - not all is gonna be popular. It will be the red medium... and the green large.. Could you have predicted that?? As for the 20 piece, I do like the idea of it, as its a true grab in go, provided someone doesn't have several fingers the same size. And a lot of people do... Their index finger and ring finger can both be the same size. So then they need 4 per set, and you've only made 2 of each size. Also, its more work, you gotta make 20 nails per person instead of 10. So cost is also higher (double) on your end and the time it takes to make 20, instead of 10. All of which lowers your profit, and ups your sell point. Do not make the mistake of charging for 20, what you would charge for 10, because when you only then sell 10, they will want it 1/2 price!! Also, you don't know their sizes, so unless your just doing sold colors, how do you pick the accent nails. You'll have to do about 4 as an accent nail, and hopefully you guess correctly. Not saying it can't be done, as it can and successfully but there's a lot of planning and figuring out prior to just doing the nails. And some designs just won't be possible without you knowing which size nail, goes where... I know, I didn't give you a clear cut answer, I just told the problems here and there. There is no need to point out the ups as you know them, you pick the right way and it works well. Lol You need to know the downs or the struggles, as that's where your gonna figure out what it is thats best for you. Devils advocate as they say... Now the good thing about a 20 piece set, is people should learn their size from it. You could start off with 20s, and then move people into a custom 10. Or, keep it a 20, but 20 in their size, now that you know them. 😊 Even with a sm, med, and lg system, if the people stay with you, you will learn their sizes, then they can be custom sets.. Its getting them to come back and work with you, so you can provide them, exactly what they want, and what fits... :) I am not sure if I helped or answered any of the questions you asked, hopefully I did. If I didn't or if you have more, feel free to ask away... 😉

How can we get a supplier

Thanks so much for the tips! They really are helpful. I have a question- when someone purchases a custom slot from you, and then later on you send them a link to finish the payment- how does that work? I want to offer custom nails, but I'm not sure how or where to charge them for the overall price once the details are worked out.

this took me forever to figure out too. Once they submit the custom form, I confirm the design with them via email and send them a link to complete the final purchase (which is just a non physical product on my site) in the amount leftover after deposit is deducted. Once they complete the final purchase I start on their set

Hiii! Sorry for bothering you, but I have a question. I’ve been wanting to start my own press on business for a while now, but I’m still a student and a complete beginner in this… and when it comes to materials, I don’t think I want to spend lots of money without even having the experience to get good results, so, would it be ok to get just a few gel polishes from Amazon?
